Lactation Consultants that Accept Anthem Blue Cross in Washington

I am a holistically-minded IBCLC lactation consultant. As an IBCLC I specialize in oral habilitation and tethered oral tissues, as well as assessing low milk supply, and pumping. I offer home visits in the Bonney Lake area, and in-office consultations at The Birthing Inn in Tacoma.

I'm a board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) committed to helping parents achieve their breastfeeding and chestfeeding goals with nurturing, nonjudgemental clinical care. Lactation consults are available in your home, through telehealth or in my cozy home office in Bellingham’s Fairhaven neighborhood. Whether you are pregnant or planning to induce lactation, are dealing with challenges, want to exclusively pump, or need help with back to work/school issues, I would love to be your lactation consultant!

Hi! My name is Katie Rhodes. I am an RN and IBCLC (international board certified lactation consultant). I have been an IBCLC for 5 years. Previous to receiving my certification, I was a postpartum nurse for 6 years. I specialize in creating tailor- made feeding plans for the families I work with. Every mother-baby dyad is unique which is why it can be so important to have a lactation consultant that can come up with a feeding plan that works best for you. I strive to meet your goals and am constantly checking in to ensure the plan we develop is working for you. I have much experience in but not limited to, pain with latch, low milk supply, breast refusal, bottle refusal, tongue tie, weaning and so much more. In my spare time I love to be with my daughters.

Hi, I'm Jenna, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and pediatric occupational therapist supporting families throughout the greater Seattle area. For the past 11 years I've worked with babies and young children as an OT, and that background shapes how I approach feeding. When latching hurts, a baby struggles to stay on the breast, or bottles and pumping feel like a puzzle, I look at the whole picture: your baby's oral motor skills, tone, reflexes, and body position, along with your comfort, supply, and goals. Feeding is a skill your baby is learning and something you're learning together, and small adjustments often make a big difference. I'm also a mom to a little boy, so I know firsthand how tender and overwhelming those early days can be, and how much it helps to have someone in your corner. I offer unhurried home visits and virtual consults where you can ask every question on your mind. Whether you're preparing before birth, navigating the early weeks, returning to work, or figuring out how to combine breast, bottle, and pump, I'm here to help you find a rhythm that works for your family. There's no single right way to feed a baby, and my goal is to help you feel confident in yours. I'd love to support you. Reach out anytime and let's talk about what you need.
