I'm Laurie Andrews, DPT, IBCLC, providing in-home pediatric physical therapy, lactation consulting, infant bodywork, and parent education throughout Central Iowa. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with more than a decade of pediatric experience and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I specialize in helping infants who struggle with feeding, movement, and developmental challenges. My mission is to identify the root cause of your baby's difficulties—not simply treat the symptoms. My whole-body approach combines pediatric physical therapy with lactation support and gentle infant bodywork techniques, including infant massage and craniosacral therapy. By evaluating posture, movement patterns, muscle tension, oral function, and feeding mechanics together, I help babies feed more efficiently, move more comfortably, and reach developmental milestones with confidence. I believe parents are the most important members of their baby's care team. That's why every visit includes hands-on education, coaching, and practical strategies you can confidently use at home. I also offer parent classes focused on infant development, feeding, tummy time, infant massage, and early motor skills to help families support their baby's growth from day one. All appointments are provided in your home throughout Central Iowa, allowing your baby to receive individualized care in a familiar, comfortable environment. Together, we'll help your baby feed better, move better, and thrive.

Laurie came along at the absolute perfect time in our feeding journey with our baby and we are incredibly grateful for her help. We had worked with lactation with little success. Our baby had been falling asleep at feeds, struggling with bottles and could not breastfeed effectively. She was able to assess her from the comfort of our own home and pinpoint exactly why she was struggling with feeds and was also able to help identify other areas she could use some extra support in. We’ve learned SO much and our baby has made a huge amount of progress in a short amount of time. In just one session, we saw improvement in her recessed jaw and tension, better feedings, better sleep and less congestion. Two months later and she’s blossomed and is hitting her milestones and feeding like a champ with Laurie’s help. Laurie is an expert in her field and has dedicated herself to learning, attending conferences and gaining additional certifications. She is incredibly knowledgeable in all things feeding related as well and was instrumental in helping us meet our goals and set her up for success with meeting other milestones later on. We can’t recommend her enough!!! We’re excited to attend her classes as well!

Tamika was truly exceptional. From the moment we met, her warmth put me completely at ease. I was struggling with milk production after a traumatic delivery, and breastfeeding felt overwhelming. Tamika stepped in with genuine care—making time for me, even doing home visits, and guiding me every step of the way. She would email me notes on our visits with links to websites to help me better with my pumping and whatever else I needed. She was quick to respond to any queries I had about my new born even if it was not related to breastfeeding. She’s incredibly professional but also brings a friendly, comforting vibe that makes you feel supported and understood. She does this work out of love, and it shows in everything she does. It’s rare to find someone so passionate and committed. Her heart is truly in the right place. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her help. Highly, highly recommend!

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!

Recent review

Grace was absolutely the support I needed in my breastfeeding journey. She helped me throughout the whole journey. She was knowledgeable about breastfeeding and also helped with baby milestones along the way. She gave tips on what was best for baby in position to help with a better latch, tips on feeding/ pumping throughout the night, how to increase my milk production, breastmilk facts and so much more. She was friendly, personable, supportive and made my breastfeeding journey such a wonderful and memorable bonding experience with my baby. The only thing I would have done differently is connected with her sooner and learn more before I delivered my baby girl.

Ana is a blessing! We really needed help after our newborn was released from the NICU and we couldn’t have asked for a better lactation consultant. She is very warm and inviting, she helps you think and process all the different aspects of breastfeeding in a way that is digestible. I emailed her in between appointments when we were having some issues and she responded quickly and is a great brainstorming partner. She also answers all the random questions that we have as our little one gets into different phases. 100% would recommend she really does help you find your peace!

Hallelujah!! That’s what I shouted when I was finally able to find Beth! She has been with me through two home births and now takes care of my entire family as our Primary. Her prenatal and Homebirth care were amazing, I always felt listened to. Each visit there was respect and connection! I had a lot of opinions on what I wanted and didn’t want and she talked with me about each of them and never tried to force me to change my mind about anything. Even Vaccines!!! Leading up to my homebirths I was intimidated and spoke to her about that, she was able to point me in the right direction for resources and made great recommendations for my specific fears. When it finally came time to have my babies she was exactly the presence I needed. Hands off but there. My husband and I felt absolutely taken care of and safe. She trusted my body and helped me to trust it to. My sons labor was textbook but my daughters labor was all over the place, 1min contractions followed by 15min breaks or 30sec contractions followed by 1min break. Just all over the place. (I know I would have been given pitocin if I was in a hospital.) I was worried but she reassured me that everything was fine and sure enough my daughter came out in the exact same amount of time it took for my son! I had a 15min rest period between contractions right before the last one that got her out. They were both 6hour labors with drastically different contraction cycles and both ended with beautiful births and healthy babies! I adore her middle of the road approach to health care. She gives amazing advice on things to do for sicknesses and different issues without running to medication. Which is very important for us. Even with ADHD issues she’s given me different things to try that I had never thought of. You kind of only think medication but there’s a whole lot we could do if that’s the route you choose. Having a primary that intimately knows my kids and myself is something I thought wasn’t possible at this day and age. We are so blessed to have found her and I feel completely confident that my kids health is the most important not some agenda! We are blessed to have a Primary we COMPLETELY trust that we can run to!

From the start of my career as a Physician Assistant, I was drawn to pediatrics and the mother-baby dyad. My PA journey kicked off on the pediatric ward at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY, where I was completely captivated by caring for children and families. Then, life brought me to Central NJ, where I had the opportunity to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, caring for some of the tiniest, most vulnerable patients. I became a board-certified lactation consultant and was thrilled to offer lactation consultations and make a real difference for new parents and babies. Bringing together my neonatal and pediatric medical experience with lactation and breastfeeding medicine has been incredibly rewarding! I’m proud to be board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. But I didn’t stop there—I went on to get a Master's in Healthcare Administration from the University of Maryland, and I’ve continued to push myself to learn and grow in every way possible. I’ve trained in advanced bodywork techniques, including craniosacral therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute and the Barnes Myofascial Release method. I’ve also attended the Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad course three times! Continuing education is a constant for me because I believe there’s always more to learn when it comes to helping families. I have 2 locations, in Edison and Brick, NJ and have focused on creating a collaborative practice which includes other specialists as well. Whether it’s kayaking, biking, or tending to our organic and medicinal garden, my family and I like finding new ways to stay active and connected with nature.

Hi, I’m Amanda! Mama of 2 boys, Registered Nurse, Childbirth Educator, IBCLC and Sleep Consultant! I have over 10 years experience in Maternal Child Health, including labor and delivery, postpartum support, and pediatric care. My own personal struggles of entering into motherhood brought my attention to the gaps in the current system as well as the lack of support for mamas and new families which propelled me to share my expertise out in the community. I am committed to providing evidence based information and judgement free support. If you are looking for someone to come alongside you, encourage you, and be a part of your team during this transition, I would be honored to support you!

Amanda saved my breastfeeding journey with both of my children! My first born had an awful latch, causing me so much pain. She helped guide me through options to save my breastfeeding journey and I was able to breastfeed him for 2.5 years. My second born had similar issues as my first, and with Amanda’s help again, we’ve still been able to breastfeed for 19 months. I didn’t sleep train with my first and honestly thought it was not for us, but having a child who hadn’t slept any longer than 3-4 hours in a year, I needed help and was desperate! Her sleep knowledge completely changed my view and gave me hope! She helped get us into a much better sleep routine and I’m happy to say that sleep is 100% better for my child and myself! I recommend her to everyone who needs mama support. I am so thankful for her!

Hello! I'm Lauren the founder of Lactation with Lauren. I am a RN since 2009 at a large birthing hospital in Maryland and an IBCLC for the last 8 years and counting. I love that each family I work with has their own story and their own journey. I am honored to be part of each situation as we find the next right thing and reach personalized goals. When I am not using my IBCLC skills I love to spend time with my husband, 3 school aged kids, and standard poodle. We enjoy visiting extended family members spread out along the East Coast, hiking in Patapsco State Park and traveling by airplane to new places when we have extra time together.

I had a great experience working with Lauren! I reached out after being unsure how to completely wean the rest of my milk supply. My son was mostly weaned and only breastfeeding for a few minutes at a time, about twice a day. I was pumping to fully drain, but was confused on how to stop producing milk without getting mastitis. Then came Lauren! Not only was she very helpful and gave me confidence in being able to fully stop producing, but she was empathetic and so kind towards me in this special time of life. I immediately began implementing the steps to stop producing milk and I completely dried up in about a week, comfortably and confidently! Lauren also provided help with how to soothe my son through this change, which was greatly appreciated! Huge thanks to Lauren on helping me transition to a new stage of motherhood!

We had such a wonderful experience with our lactation consultant. From the moment she walked in, she brought a sense of calm, understanding, and support that we desperately needed. She took the time to really listen, explain everything clearly, and guide us without any judgment. Her expertise was evident, but what meant the most was how validated and understood she made us feel throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to any family needing lactation support.
