Lactation support that meets you where you are
Insurance, honestly
Know what your visit may cost before you book.
Before scheduling, we’ll review your insurance benefits, and when asked, we will provide an estimate of your expected out-of-pocket cost whenever possible.
We stand behind the estimate we give you, even if your insurance ultimately reimburses us less than anticipated.
Some third-party lactation networks can’t tell families what they may owe until after insurance processes the claim. With us, there are no surprise bills based solely on a lower-than-expected insurance payment.
How insurance works hereWhat happens next
- You fill out the form. About two minutes, from your phone.
- We check your plan benefits.
- We email you back within 24–48 hours.

“From navigating medications while breastfeeding, to helping us through a difficult latch and initial poor weight gain, she has supported us through so many challenges with patience, knowledge, and genuine compassion. … I truly don’t think I would still be breastfeeding—or feel nearly as confident about the future of our journey—without Catharine.”

“After a difficult delivery and NICU stay, breastfeeding got off to a rocky start for my daughter and me. She struggled to latch and quickly developed a preference for the bottle, while I was exclusively pumping and dealing with a significant oversupply. … With her help, I’m now able to breastfeed my daughter, which is something I genuinely wasn’t sure we would be able to do.”

“During our initial consultation she explained everything clearly, answered every question, and helped me create a plan even before I gave birth. Her in‑home visits have been informative, reassuring, and genuinely enjoyable. … When my baby was diagnosed with a lip and tongue tie, Jessica guided us through the entire process and helped us map out a thoughtful plan of care.”

“After receiving some bad advice from a different IBCLC, I found Katie and within minutes of our consultation, she already knew what was going on and how to fix it! I was so worried my breastfeeding journey was over, but now I have hope we can resolve this. She is very attentive, compassionate and flexible as far as scheduling in person or virtual visits.”

“Lactation specialist Lanna Davis helped us and I could not be more grateful. She was very eloquent, knowledgeable , skilled and compassionate. You could tell she truly cared about us and provided us with so many useful tools. … Added bonuses were her services included coming to our home and were covered by insurance.”

“I highly recommend Morgan if you are struggling with breastfeeding. She's been guiding me since before my baby was born with what to expect, positioning, pain, etc. I couldn't nurse my firstborn because of pain, so I was hopeful my second experience would be different. Thankfully, it's SO much better! I am beyond grateful that I can breastfeed.”

“As a postpartum doula and second time mom- this is where you need to be. Stephanie is all things gentle, researched, experienced, and knowledgeable. I would not have the success I’ve had without her. She’s helped in all stages of my breastfeeding journeys and I’ve never sent her a client who didn’t immediately fall in love with her.”

★★★★★
“We struggled with my daughter getting a good latch due to a tongue tie. … Nichole was able to quickly get us in to see her. She was warm and welcoming and took her time to explain what my daughter was going through while trying to eat with a tongue tie. … After seeing Nichole, I no longer experience pain when feeding my daughter, she has a good latch and has been gaining good weight.”
