Breastfeeding & Lactation Services

Breastfeeding is a natural way to nourish our babies from birth to beyond 1 year of age but sometimes it does not always feel natural. Learning how to breastfeed and provide breastmilk throughout your breastfeeding journey can be overwhelming especially in the early days. Seeking help from an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) can help overcome barriers throughout your breastfeeding journey. New or experienced mothers may need help as every baby and breastfeeding journey is different. Hiring an IBCLC can help you with anything related to breastfeeding, pumping, or bottle feeding to allow your baby to be nourished by you throughout their first couple years of life.

Payment & Insurance

Beautiful Beginnings & Wellness LLC is a self-pay (private pay) practice and does not bill insurance. Payment is due at the time of service.

Operating as a self-pay practice allows me to provide individualized, evidence-based lactation care without the limitations often imposed by insurance companies. Many families find self-pay lactation care is comparable to—or less than—their out-of-pocket insurance costs once deductibles and co-pays are considered.

While I do not submit insurance claims, a superbill can be provided upon request for families who wish to seek reimbursement.
