Support local moms this Mother's Day with a donation to our Financial Aid Fund. A gift of ANY amount helps other families. The Fund supports lowering appointment costs for those who need it. About 20% of our clients have insurance plans that do not provide covered appointments, and out-of-pocket cost can be a barrier to getting care. Thank you for considering a Mother's Day contribution to help a family access support! See more https://www.gofundme.com/f/financial-aid-fund-for-lactation-support

We were so grateful when Chelsea, a former client, mom, and local small business owner of Wave Aesthetics, offered to donate a portion of service cost during the week of Mother's Day to our Financial Aid Fund! From Chelsea: "During May 10-16, Wave Aesthetics is giving back to the community that supported me during my own breastfeeding journey. A portion of all service costs will be donated to the Breastfeeding Center of Ann Arbor's Financial Aid Fund. Wave Aesthetics provides breastmilk safe skincare options, microneedling (including for stretch marks), botox, and dermal filler.

Donations are as follows:
- $1/unit of botox
- 20% of skincare purchases
- 20% of microneedling purchases (including stretch mark packages)
- 20% of dermal filler purchase

Microneedling for the face, neck, chest, or stretch marks is a natural, gentle place to start your skin journey. If you're breastfeeding or pumping, you can still join by pre-booking, picking up breastmilk-safe skincare, or having a partner or friend book a treatment on your behalf.

Not sure where to start? Feel free to book a complimentary consultation before the event week, we can go over your options together!

A little self care this week helps another family receive the support they need"

Our Financial Aid Funds supports lower-cost lactation and feeding consultations for those who need it, and free community services like our weekly mom-and-baby group.

Thank you Chelsea!! 💛💛💛
