Virtual consultations
From First Bites to First Aid
Get personalized guidance from a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who understands both the medical side and real mom life.
Trusted by hundreds of families to provide clear, evidence-based guidance for early childhood wellness
Let's face it — scrolling through parenting advice online is like trying to drink from a fire hose. One article tells you one thing, the next completely contradicts it, and somewhere in between, a mom blogger is telling you about her miracle solution that worked for her unicorn child.
But here's the thing: your kid isn't generic advice. Your family isn't a one-size-fits-all situation. And you shouldn't have to piece together random tips from the internet when you need real answers.
My 1:1 consultations give you direct access to personalized guidance that actually makes sense for your child and your life. No more guessing games.
Meet Cierra
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner + Mom of 3
When you book a consultation with me, I'll give you actionable strategies you can implement immediately, help you understand what's normal versus what needs attention with feeding and raising kids, provide evidence-based guidance for navigating the challenges that come up, validate your concerns, and teach you first aid skills so you can worry less and feel prepared for whatever comes your way.
Toddler climbing on you during the call? Baby deciding it's time to eat right when we start? I've been there as both a nurse and a mom of three — we'll make it work!
I want to help you help your little one thrive.
What our parents are saying
-
"As a first-time mom, I felt completely unprepared for all the 'what ifs' — choking, fevers, allergic reactions. Cierra walked me through exactly what to watch for, what to do, and when to worry. Now I feel equipped instead of anxious, and my confidence has changed our whole family dynamic." — Amelia, first-time mom
-
"I wanted to follow-up and say thank you again for the consultation 2 months ago! Oliver is now eating so many different foods and actually seems to enjoy mealtimes. This is the best he's ever done with solids and I am feeling so good about our approach. I seriously can't thank you enough!" — Sarah, mom of 10-month-old
-
Before working with Cierra, every day felt chaotic. My daughter had constant stomach aches, skipped meals, picky eating, and was melting down by mid-afternoon. After just a few sessions, her digestion improved, our mealtimes became calmer, and bedtime is finally consistent." — Lindsay, mom of a 4-year-old

-
These are educational consultations, not medical services, so they're not covered by insurance. However, you may be able to use HSA or FSA funds for the consultations — check with your provider. I offer payment plans to make the support more accessible for families.
-
Yes! All packages include text/email/voice message support between sessions. I typically respond within 24 hours on weekdays. For true emergencies, I always recommend calling your pediatrician or 911, but I'm here for those "Is this normal?" moments that pop up.
-
Yes! Check out our starting solids program here. We take a holistic approach to feeding babies and laying healthy foundations from day one. Covering everything from what to feed, how to feed, when to feed, how to manage milk feeds and solid meals, to establishing the gut microbiome to safety preparedness, and what to do in emergencies.
-
I work with parents of babies and young children from 6 months through early elementary years, with particular expertise in the first 1,000 days (birth to age 2). This is perfect for parents who are ready to stop second-guessing themselves around feeding, health, and safety decisions. If you're tired of feeling uncertain and want to build confidence in your parenting choices, this is for you.
-
As of now, all consultations are virtual and include the educational basics of CPR and choking response. If you want to become formally certified, I offer certification through the American Red Cross for local St. Louis residents in my in-person classes. You’ll get the education and training in our virtual sessions, and can then attend one of my local in-person trainings for the skills check to receive official certification.
-
Absolutely! All consultations are done via video call, so I work with families everywhere. The only exception is functional lab testing, which I can only provide for Missouri residents.
-
These consultations are educational support, not medical treatment. If your child has a diagnosed condition, you'll continue working with your medical team for treatment. I can provide complementary education and lifestyle support that works alongside your medical care.
-
Your pediatrician is essential for medical care, growth checks, and diagnoses. I focus on the day-to-day questions and challenges between appointments — like how to actually implement feeding advice, what's normal behavior versus concerning, and building your confidence to handle everyday situations at home.
-
Not at all. My goal is to take stress off your plate, not add to it. Everything I teach is practical, bite-sized, and built into your existing daily rhythms. You’ll leave feeling more confident and less overwhelmed—not with a longer to-do list.
-
That's exactly what the application process is for! Once you apply, we'll have a free discovery call to discuss your specific needs and goals. I'll help you choose the package that makes the most sense, or we might determine that one of our classes or resources is a better fit. I have limited spots each month for new consultations. Applying lets us make sure 1:1 support is the best option for your family. There's no commitment with applying, but it ensures this program is the right fit for both of us.

We’ll meet up on our first onboarding call and design your initial plan. We’ll make sure you can access all the tools and resources you’ll need to be successful. We’ll meet weekly or bi-weekly to check in, provide plan adjustments, navigate barriers, and see what’s working. As you and your child grow with the program we add on to the plan to continue to meet their needs. You’ll have access to me in between calls to get real time feedback and ask any questions.
