You want to turn your passion for lactation into a sustainable, efficient, profitable, and enjoyable IBCLC private practice—but you just can’t wrap your brain around all the tech, business, and legal stuff you’re supposed to master.
Wish you had an experienced guide who could simplify everything?
You want to be the kind of lactation consultant who inspires your clients to blast your name all over social media, and send you cute brelfies when their baby is 8 months or 12 months or 15 months.
But your private practice requires a whole lot more from you than what you learned to pass the exam—what you don’t know might really hold you back and bring you down.
You’ve worked so hard to become an IBCLC, but you don’t want to stay at entry-level for long.
Imagine what lactation private practice would be like if you only had to focus on your clients and their babies—because your policies, business elements, tech, charting, and communications systems are all seamlessly flowing and working and not requiring any of your attention.
Your clients and their babies will have even better outcomes, you’ll feel more confident in your practice and protocols, and you’ll discover that private practice can can not only be efficient—it can be sustainable, enjoyable, and profitable.
“I need to give a shout out to Annie Frisbie. She has coached me and consulted as I started my private practice. She’s been nothing but amazing. She’s experienced, thorough and goes above and beyond with her customization.
Annie also helped to build my website. Her efficiency and direction were priceless. I absolutely love my site now and my practice feels complete.
Thank you for everything, Annie. You won’t regret working with her. ❤️”
Everything you need to envision, set up, optimize, and enjoy your calling as a lactation consultant in private practice.
“Between your two books, your emails and FB group, you have helped me so much in both growing my practice and saving time. You sent an email a while ago that inspired me to change my voicemail message directing clients to check my website and book online instead of leaving a message. As soon as I changed the message, I stopped getting voicemails (and the lengthy callbacks they required). For a few hours, I panicked, seeing that people were calling and not leaving messages... but then I had a record-breaking week of new clients who all booked through my website. One client told me she LOVED being able to see my availability since she was unsure of how soon anyone could help her, until she found my website. Thank you SO MUCH for the work you do for us.”
When it comes to online scheduling, Acuity is my favorite of the HIPAA-compliant platforms out there, making it easy-peasy for someone to land on my website, learn about my services, and book an appointment all without any texting back-and-forth about time. But Acuity can do so much more for you—and even increase client self-efficacy.
You know you’re supposed to send something to the baby’s pediatrician after a lactation consult, but how do you know what exactly to include when you aren’t even sure if it’ll ever be read?

“I am just starting out with my private IBCLC practice so this EBook came right on time and is SO comprehensive. I hired Annie for a two hour coaching session to go over the most important things together and it saved me a lot of time!

The book alone is great but I also highly recommend Annie’s coaching services!”
