The cost of a lactation consultant in Bloomington, IN can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Certification

    International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) typically charge more than Certified Lactation Counselors (CLCs) due to their advanced training and ability to handle complex breastfeeding issues.

  • Visit Type

    In-home visits generally cost more than office visits or virtual consultations. Many consultants in Bloomington offer telehealth options at reduced rates.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Whether insurance covers the cost of a lactation consultant in Bloomington, IN, depends on your specific insurance plan and provider. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many insurance plans are required to cover breastfeeding support, including lactation consulting, without cost-sharing. However, coverage can vary, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider to confirm what services are included, whether the consultant needs to be in-network, and any documentation or referrals required. Additionally, some local hospitals or clinics may offer free or low-cost lactation support, so it's worth exploring those options as well.

  • Number of Sessions

    Some consultants offer package deals for multiple sessions, which can be more cost-effective than paying per visit, especially for ongoing breastfeeding challenges.

  • HSA and FSA Eligibility

    Lactation consulting is an IRS-eligible medical expense, meaning you can use HSA or FSA funds to cover the cost without paying taxes on those dollars.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Consultants with specialized expertise in areas like tongue ties, premature infant feeding, or relactation may charge higher rates.

When looking for a lactation consultant in Bloomington, IN, it's a good idea to check with your insurance provider first, as many plans cover lactation services. Interview several consultants to find one who fits your needs and budget, and ask about their specific credentials, experience, and what each session includes.

It’s with pride and joy that I make sure no woman is left behind. I wholeheartedly believe every birthing person deserves a Doula.

Hello, my name is Kayla, and I am a full-time doula proudly serving families throughout Indiana and surrounding communities. Born and raised in Indianapolis, I am also a mother of four beautiful children who have inspired my passion for birth work and maternal support. My journey to becoming a doula was deeply personal. After experiencing trauma during three of my own births, I realized how important compassionate, informed, and empowering support truly is during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I chose to turn my pain into purpose by helping other mothers feel seen, heard, educated, and supported throughout their birthing journey. As a doula, my mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering experience for every family I serve. I believe every mother deserves respectful care, emotional support, and an advocate by her side. Through my work, I strive to transform trauma into healing and blessings by giving back to the community and supporting families during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Having kayla as my doula has truly been one of the best decisions during my pregnancy journey. She has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, supportive, and caring every single step of the way. During such an emotional and important time in my life, she has made me feel genuinely cared for, heard, and at peace. One thing I appreciate most is how she never tries to overshadow my wants or opinions. She always makes my choices, comfort, and birth preferences the priority while still guiding and educating me with so much patience and compassion. That balance is so important when choosing a doula, and she does it beautifully. Kayla presence alone brings reassurance, comfort, and confidence, and I truly cannot imagine going through this journey without her support. I would recommend her to any expecting mother looking for someone who will advocate for them, support them, and truly care from the heart. 💕

Hi, my name is Sally Wiggins and I am a DONA certified birth doula, a certified Body Ready Method® pro, and certified lactation counselor located on the northeast side of Indianapolis, Indiana. I am passionate about helping prepare pregnant women and their support team for birth. I have created an e-book and online course to help me reach more families in their birth preparation. I use evidence based information and my many trainings to prepare women both mentally and physically for labor. My husband of 33 years and I have 4 adult daughters, 3 son-in-laws, 2 dogs, and 1 grandson with another grandbaby on the way. I love the beach, spending time with my family, and learning new things. If you are looking for compassionate, evidence based care that helps you feel confident and calm going into your birth, then look no further.

Working with Sally helped me to have the birth I wanted! I knew I wanted to try for an unmedicated birth, but was open to an epidural if needed, and Sally was supportive of both plans. She had great advice throughout my pregnancy and was a true hero on delivery day! She accompanied my husband and I to the hospital and was amazing at communicating with our nurses and doctors which took a lot of pressure off of me and my husband so that we could just be present in the moment. She used a variety of strategies to keep me as comfortable as possible during labor --the counterpressure and massage was a game changer during contractions! After baby was born she followed up with us several times to make sure breastfeeding and everything was going well. We would definitely recommend getting a doula, specifically Sally, to anyone who is on the fence about hiring someone to support their birth!
