Lactation Consultants that Accept Aetna in Indiana

I am a passionate and experienced Lactation Consultant with over 16 years of experience helping women succeed on their breastfeeding journeys. I have always had a passion for learning more about breastfeeding in college and decided to go onto to become an IBCLC shortly after. Once I experienced breastfeeding my four children, I found that each breastfeeding journey was much different. I found that breastfeeding is not just about the benefits and nourishment for the baby, but the empowerment I felt made me more determined to help other moms achieve that same feeling. I received amazing support from other lactation colleagues and my fellow mom-to-mom community, which made me even more equipped to give moms peer and professional support rooted in evidence-based practice. I am dedicated and excited to be providing families with the tools they need to achieve their own personal feeding goals. I offer virtual and home visits for prenatal and postpartum moms, breastfeeding education classes, back to work classes, and nutrition and breastfeeding classes.

With over a decade of experience supporting families, I’ve seen firsthand the joys and challenges of breastfeeding/chestfeeding; including the unique journey of induced lactation. My mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence you need to reach your feeding goals no matter where you are in your journey. Why I Do This Work: Infant feeding is one of the most personal and impactful experiences a parent can have, and that includes parents who are nurturing babies through induced lactation, adoption, surrogacy, or as a non-gestational parent. But it’s not always easy, and too often, families are left feeling overwhelmed or unsupported; especially when their journey doesn’t look “typical”. That’s why I created LatchLine: to make expert, compassionate, and inclusive lactation support accessible to all families, no matter where they live or what challenges they face.

Hi Everyone! My name is Grace Hultquist and I’m a Lactation Consultant based out of Warsaw, IN! I travel up to one hour to see patients in the comfort of their own home. I have the privilege of working for Milk Guide where we accept most insurances so families can receive my care at no cost! In addition to working at Milk Guide, I also work at Aeroflow Breast Pumps where I have the pleasure of helping families all over the US! All of the families I work with locally will be through Milk Guide. I have one little man at home that I breastfed for 16 months - the first half pretty traditionally and the 2nd half I actually exclusively pumped for him! No matter where you may find yourself on your lactation journey, I can certainly relate! I can help with any lactation related concern, but particularly love parts of lactation related to TOTs (tethered oral ties), pumping, latching, and prenatal education! Looking forward to helping you meet your feeding goals!

My passion is deeply rooted in my personal experience and life long passions to help others. I had a rough start breastfeeding our daughter. With the thoughtful care of an amazing IBCLC who came to my home to help me, I was able to have a long breastfeeding journey with our daughter. Her support made me realize that I wanted to help other parents achieve their goals. It was really a full circle journey for me. When I was in college, I thought that I wanted to go into healthcare, but my academic journey didn’t work out for that. I pursued a degree in marketing and entered into the business world. I could never figure out why that didn’t work out in college until I was inspired to become a lactation professional. God had a plan for me to help moms, and lactation has been my way to help people in the way that I always thought that I wanted to in healthcare. I am a mom to two amazing kiddos and in my previous career worked in marketing and sales. My husband and I met when we both worked in college athletics. I took a step back from my career when I got pregnant with our daughter and focused on her and living the coach’s wife life with SEC football. It is then that I found my passion for lactation. I am a proud graduate of the University of Notre Dame and I grew up in the Michiana area. I am so happy to be home and serving our community (and beyond) with my private practice.
