Find a Lactation Consultant Near Me that Accepts Aetna

Rachel was extremely helpful during my first time journey breast feeding. She helped us by giving hands on assistance & allowed us to ask questions. She walked us through the process with our baby. She is very knowledgeable! We were able to get in quick & very responsive for both our appointments. Highly recommend Nuture Lactation for anyone on their breastfeeding journey.

For any interested expecting Mama’s; don’t hesitate. If you’re looking at this it’s probably because you are considering a Lactation Consultant. Please set yourself and your baby up for success with Evonne. I had a discovery call with Evonne about 10 days before I gave birth and then saw her a handful of times after. Breastfeeding is a roller coaster and I honestly would have given up if it weren’t for Evonne. She helped with getting my baby to latch comfortably and also helped with bodywork and her neck tension. Evonne has such a calm and nurturing approach to her care. She even helped me learn the best ways to encourage my baby to sleep and massages to help with constipation. Before seeing Evonne, my baby girl had lost 8% of her body weight in the first few days but after just one appointment with Evonne, she “overachieved” on getting back on track. Shes growing so well now! We also saw Hideko for a bodywork session and she was so gentle and amazing at explaining to us everything that she was noticing. She gave us homework to help our baby also and we saw the difference in just a few days. Our baby became so much more comfortable. Both Evonne and Hideko are so flexible with in-office offerings, home visits and virtual follow-ups. They provided so much information and tutorials also to review. My family and I are so beyond grateful to Evonne and Hideko. You are in amazing hands with them!

Donna is truly such an amazing woman and sure knows what she is doing! As a first time mother, she came into my life at such a point of uncertainty, doubt, and frustration. When my breastfeeding journey started off rough and not according to plan, she was at our home within days. Now 10 months later, I would not be the mother I am without her. She has guided me, lifted me up, supported me, and loved me through the hardest, most beautiful chapter of my life. If you are feeling like your breastfeeding journey isn’t working out how you had hoped or it’s feeling like it shouldn’t be this hard, get in touch with Donna. She will always be there for you when you need her.

Once I found CuraNatal took my insurance, they handled the rest and it was so easy to get connected with a doula without any hassle of dealing with any billing. Just a few emails back and forth and I was ready for services. I even utilized a postpartum lactation consultant that I didn’t know would be covered. They have all kinds of services to offer and I would highly recommend!

I’m incredibly grateful to have had her as my lactation consultant during the first few months of my breastfeeding journey. From the very beginning, she was so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. She helped me through so many questions and challenges, from breastfeeding and pumping to building my milk supply and figuring out what worked best for my baby and me. Her guidance gave me so much more confidence during a time when I often felt overwhelmed and unsure of myself. One thing that really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cared about my well-being. One night, I had a really bad breast engorgement and was very uncomfortable and worried. The next day, she called me to check on how I was doing and made sure I was okay. She took the time to listen, guide me, and help me figure out what to do. That meant so much to me because it showed that her care went beyond just the scheduled visits. She is also extremely professional and prepared. Every time she came to our home, she arrived with all of her materials clean, sterilized, and organized. You can tell that she takes her work very seriously and puts a lot of thought into every visit. She always came prepared to address whatever concerns I had that day and made every visit feel personalized to our needs. What I appreciated most, though, was the way she made me feel. She was never judgmental or pushy. She always listened to my concerns, explained things clearly, and reassured me when I needed it most. During those early months, having someone who was not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and genuinely invested in our breastfeeding journey made such a difference. She is truly an amazing lactation consultant and an even better person. I feel very lucky that we found her, and I will always be grateful for all the support, encouragement, and care she gave me and my baby. I highly recommend her to any mom looking for someone who is knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to helping families succeed. We love you Claudia ❤️

I highly recommend Esther and her company. She exceeds expectations. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. Childbirth is a highly personal and important part of your life. Esther was right there for the family to support this precious journey. She was always available and connected us to others in the community, which was helpful. Fun facts 1. She graduated top of her class at a rigorous pre-medical program in high school 2. She also attend University of Miami on a scholarship 3. She is a mother of 4 very healthy boys 4. She speaks multiple languages 5. She has connections all throughout Miami Dade, which is helpful for a new mom 6. She's not just available before and during birth, she is available AFTER birth as well. 7. She has connections to midwives, physicians, and community leaders 8. She will support you throughout the entire birthing process. This is critical. 9. She is highly communicative - if you message her, you will get a response 10. She has a deep understanding of the human body given her background as a UM grad and high school medical program. She is a sweet and kind person as well. Her work has been featured throughout the country, and she is considered an expert in her field. She mentors other doulas and is a successful business woman, but she will still make you feel like a priority despite her busy schedule. You will never feel like a number. In your most intimate moment of life, you want someone who is there for you. Your child is your most important asset, do not leave it to chance. As I close this, I want to mention that Esther understands breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and pumping takes intention, strategy, and planning. Having a doula who is also a breastfeeding expert is extremely helpful and saves money down the line (no formula if that's your desire). As someone who is extremely discerning about services, I whole heartedly recommend Esther and you won't be disappointed.

I had a wonderful experience with Debbie and the 5-Day Postpartum Check. I didn’t know what questions I would have as a first time mom - but I was able to ask Debbie every day in that first week after returning home from the hospital. All the unknowns were a quick answer and short video that Debbie could send me right away. Debbie even made time to check in my with husband to answer his questions. I highly recommend the 5-Day Postpartum Check with Debbie! She saved me hours of sifting through research and gave me practical alternatives to every question!

Melissa is professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Insurance coverage was a breeze to navigate and having her come to my home was a game changer. Should have gotten her on board from the beginning of my breastfeeding journey (and in place before it even began) and my life would have been a whole lot easier! Some things you just have to live to learn… unless you’re reading this and you still have time. Learn from me instead!

Autumn has been an amazing lactation consultant. She’s been punctual, patient, and so so helpful. She’s is incredibly knowledgeable about lactation and babies and has been able to help me feel so much more comfortable in my ability to breastfeed.

- Sarah Sowards Taylor

Jesyka was so great to work with!! She helped me in the early days of breastfeeding and made a big difference in my comfortability and success. In addition she stayed in close contact with next steps (solid introduction, teething etc). Would recommend her to anyone!

Denisse has been an incredible support throughout my breastfeeding journey with my baby girl. My baby was having a hard time latching, and she patiently helped us until she was feeding well. I also had a painful clogged milk duct, and she helped relieve it with massage and milk expression, which brought me immediate relief. Beyond breastfeeding, she was a huge source of emotional support during my postpartum period and always made me feel heard and encouraged. She helped me choose the correct flange size for my pump, explained how to use all the pump parts properly, and answered every question I had. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and always just a phone call away. Her home visits were so convenient, and she truly goes above and beyond for both mom and baby. I highly recommend her to every new mom looking for compassionate, expert lactation support.

I cannot recommend Alexis enough. From the very first moment, she made me feel heard, supported, and never judged during one of the most emotional and vulnerable times of my life. Breastfeeding did not come easily to me, and there were moments when I felt overwhelmed and discouraged—but her patience, knowledge, and genuine compassion made all the difference. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered every question (even the ones I asked more than once), and reassured me when I needed it most. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, I gained confidence not only in feeding my baby, but in myself as a new mom. I am endlessly grateful for her support and would recommend her to any parent looking for expert care paired with true kindness.

Growing Tree Doula Services was absolutely incredible. Gennifer, Jennie, and Maddie were amazing! They were so warm, kind, and supportive. They made the first few weeks postpartum so much easier for us. I was able to get real rest knowing the baby (and I!) were in such caring hands. They not only took wonderful care of the baby, but also looked after me, kept everything clean, and brought such a calming presence into our home. Their love and gentleness with the baby made this period feel comforting and joyful instead of overwhelming. Truly, they turned what could have been the scariest part of postpartum into such a positive and beautiful experience. I can’t recommend them enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Simone as our night doula and lactation consultant. From the moment she entered our home, she brought a sense of calm, compassion, and expertise that made an immediate difference in our postpartum experience. As a second-time mom navigating recovery, sleep deprivation, and feeding challenges, her presence was nothing short of a gift. She supported our entire family with such gentleness and professionalism. Her overnight care allowed us to get desperately needed rest, knowing our baby was in kind, capable hands. Her lactation guidance was equally invaluable. She offered evidence-based support with zero judgment—troubleshooting tummy issues, providing reassurance, and giving practical tools that worked. Thanks to her help, I went from overwhelmed and in pain to confident and empowered. I did not feel a bit of judgment when I chose to go from breastfeeding to formula due to my baby's tummy issues. She listened deeply, responded thoughtfully, and truly respected our parenting values. She didn’t just care for our baby—she cared for us. If you're looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also emotionally attuned and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend Simone. She’s an absolute gem and a vital part of our early parenting story.

Julie is so amazing to work with & always there when I need her. The best!!

Avery is so sweet, encouraging & makes you feel comfortable! She handles your baby with care & pays attention to what you need help with. She recommended some exercises to do for my baby & advice on how to relieve some pain I had from a shallow latch. It’s also a huge plus that she will come to your home! So nice to not have to go anywhere & be in the comfort of your home.

Megan has been a tremendous help throughout my breastfeeding and pumping journey. She is friendly, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt comfortable with her right away. She has helped me with so many things I simply didn’t know about, including proper flange fitting, getting the most output from my pump, breastfeeding positions, improving my daughter’s latch, and navigating a breastfeeding journey that works best for my family. I really appreciate that her guidance is practical and individualized to what works for us. After every session, I leave with a clear plan and helpful resources. I only wish I had found Megan sooner and scheduled with her before my baby arrived. She has been an incredible resource, and I would highly recommend her to any new or expecting mom!

I truly cannot recommend my doula enough. She was by my side throughout my entire pregnancy journey, always there whenever I needed her—and often before I even realized I did. No question, concern, or doubt was ever too small. She patiently answered everything, reassured me, and helped prepare me both physically and mentally for a natural birth. She even provided monthly massages and other techniques that helped me feel more comfortable throughout my pregnancy. But my greatest gratitude is for everything she did during my labor. When my contractions started in the middle of the night, she came to my home at 2 a.m. without hesitation. She stayed with me through every single contraction, helping me cope with hip squeezes, lower back pressure, massage, acupuncture, labor combs, and a TENS machine. She continuously adjusted her techniques to help ease my pain and keep me focused. Around 9 a.m., we went to the hospital together, and she remained by my side for the entire labor until my baby was born. She stayed with me until 11 p.m., never leaving me alone. She advocated for me, made sure my birth preferences were respected, and did everything she could to make the experience as calm, positive, and empowering as possible. What makes her truly exceptional is her compassion. She doesn’t treat this as just a job—you can genuinely feel how deeply she cares about the mothers she supports. She gives her whole heart to making your pregnancy, labor, and birth experience as beautiful and comfortable as possible. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy, and I honestly can’t imagine going through labor without her. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and incredibly caring doula, I recommend her with all my heart.

Bethany is wonderful to work with & has been instrumental in our breastfeeding journey. She immediately makes you feel comfortable & confident in your ability to nurse & has made something very challenging both achievable & enjoyable for my daughter & me. Highly recommend!

- Lauren Assadi

Tracee was great! My birth didn’t go as planned but she was by my side and took all my request into consideration. She informed me of the options I had when my labor wasn’t progressing and guided me in a great way. She was super helpful from pregnancy all the way to postpartum
