Ascent Breastfeeding and Lactation
Chelsea Ashton
IBCLC, RLC
Infant feeding specialist
Hello!
I'm Chelsea Ashton, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, owner of Ascent Breastfeeding and Lactation, LLC and I'm happy to serve USFK, Osan and Camp Humphreys and beyond through home visits, breastfeeding support groups, and collaboratively in the infant feeding community. I am a military spouse, mom of two, adventure seeker and outdoors lover.
My undergrad is a BA in Biology from St. Olaf College. I then did my Lactation Education IBCLC Pathway 2 from UCSD Extended Studies. I served hundreds of dyads during my clinicals and apprenticeship at the adored Arizona Breastfeeding Medicine and Wellness outpatient clinic in Scottsdale, AZ while stationed previously at Luke AFB in Phoenix. I feel honored to have the privilege of developing a private practice to continue to serve families during our Korea tour.
If you're here, then you're probably looking for some help in your infant feeding journey. I offer boutique style care and a time commitment that you'll find unique to private practice. I value parent empowerment and am dedicated to providing you with evidence based care, education, and strategies to help you accomplish your feeding goals.
Let's summit mountains together!
My Services
IBCLC stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. This is the highest accreditation a healthcare professional who specializes in lactation can obtain. One of the most unique and lovely things about working with me is the time we'll spend face to face. I'll come to you, every time to your home, because I know you'll be most comfortable there. I want you to feel confident in the way you feed your baby. In addition to our visit, you'll gain access to HIPPA compliant messaging for 1 week, where you can ask questions directly to me. If you have any questions, please ask. If you have a need for services not mentioned here, or wish to do a group class, please reach out!
Prenatal Visit $100
Let's spend 60-90 minutes talking baby! This is a personalized educational session where we can discuss goals, go over your health history as it pertains to lactation, and educate you all about breastfeeding, meeting you exactly where you're at. We'll also open your pump and go over the basics, size you for pumping flanges, simulate different breastfeeding positions, and give you an idea of what the first few hours, days, and weeks might entail. I welcome first time parents as well as second time or more.
Initial Express Visit $100
Ideal for the parents that have less time or fewer concerns. We'll work fast during this hour-long-visit to assess you and your baby and focus on your primary concern. After an oral and physical assessment of your baby, we’ll do a weighted feed. I always include a comprehensive plan of care, nipple flange sizing, and nipple damage management. We’ll maximize our time together!
Initial Comprehensive Visit $175
We'll spend 2 hours working one on one with you and your baby. This primary visit includes an assessment of your and your baby's health history as it pertains to lactation, breast and nipple damage management, a physical and structural assessment of your baby, oral function assessment of your baby, we'll weigh your baby before and after feeding to determine their milk transfer volume, pump flange sizing, pumping and bottle feeding guidance, safe supplementation guidance (if needed), detailed written care plan for how to best optimize your breastfeeding experience, and referral to other providers if their services are needed. Additional time and cost will be added for parents with multiples.
Follow-Up Visit $90
This appointment will follow up on previous appointments. We'll spend up to 60 minutes addressing changes since our last time spent together, discussing what is working/what isn't, addressing new concerns, and creating a new plan of care.
Pumping ConsultaTion $100
This visit focuses on pumping with an electric breast pump. During this 60 minutes I'll address your pumping concerns, size you for flanges, develop a pumping schedule and care plan tailored to what works for you. We'll also talk about how to protect your milk supply, teach recommended bottle feeding technique, and go over milk storage guidelines.
Bottle ConsultaTion $100
This is a bottle feeding strategy consultation that we'll block 60 minutes for. We'll discuss strategies to bottle feed your baby, I'll evaluate your baby's oral and structural function, and develop a plan of care.
Cheers to empowered parenthood.

Testimonials
""Chelsea's consultation proved friendly, helpful, and flexible with our unique circumstances. Her counseling and personal demonstrating techniques equipped us with everything we needed to nurse our daughter."
-Richard
"As a first-time mom I wanted to have an overview of what to expect for breastfeeding and I had a lot of questions. Chelsea was very professional and very experienced in sharing her knowledge and answering my questions during her home visit. Due to an emergency c-section I needed some extra guidance and to make adjustments after my surgery and Chelsea not only provided genuine support, but empowered me to choose what was best for me and my daughter."
-Megan
"Chelsea is awesome. So encouraging, positive, and knowledgeable. She greatly helped me as a first time momma and my then 2-week-old. Invaluable having more lactation consultant resources here in Korea."
-Katie
"Chelsea is phenomenal to work with! Breastfeeding has been such a struggle but when working with her, I was always put at ease and felt confident at the end of each of our meetings. I learned so much from her including latch and positioning as well as the science behind a lot of breastfeeding methodology which I loved. I would recommend Chelsea in a heartbeat. She is kind, caring and very passionate about what she does. You will always know that you and your baby are in good hands!"
