Visits are available in-person and via telehealth. Office visits are available if your baby is a patient of Knoxville Pediatric Associates, and home visits are available for all other clients.

"Ainsley was/is an incredible resource for our family. She never hesitated to make home visits when I was in the throes of the newborn stage and navigating breast feeding for the first time. My daughter had terrible gas pains due to swallowing air while breastfeeding, and Ainsley showed me different positions to try that prevented my daughter from consuming so much air. She also was/is an overall wealth of knowledge in regards to any question I threw her way including: latching issues, self-care pre and post feeding, pumping expertise, breastfeeding positions, and other resources to look up if I needed more information. I highly recommend her and her business! I will without a doubt be going to her when I have my second baby!" -Emily L.
