Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Findlay, OH

I’m Sam! I am an internationally board certified lactation consultant as well as a trained postpartum and birth doula. I always knew I wanted to work with babies and families and started off as a professional nanny. Then when I had my first and started breastfeeding I fell in love with it and was such an advocate for everyone to breastfeed. It wasn’t until my 2nd daughter that I even knew lactation consultants were a thing. I got referred to one and when I met her she changed the game. So I went to Henry Ford College to get my certification and graduated from the lactation program in 2022. I understand firsthand the challenges and joys that come with feeding your baby, and I’m here to provide compassionate, personalized care to help you feel confident every step of the way. Every feeding journey is different just like every baby and parent is.

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!

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.

I am currently a postpartum nurse and mother of four young girls. After nursing school at Ohio State I commissioned as a Navy Nurse. While in the Navy I worked on many units from Pediatrics, ER, NICU, postpartum, adolescent psych, and general med-surg. I found a passion for Peds/NICU and postpartum because I grew to love teaching and empowering parents to feel confident in their roles. I have loved all four of my non-medicated birthing and postpartum experiences. Outside of work I am a full-time mom, currently homeschooling my oldest daughter (6yo). As a family we are passionate about our Christian faith, very involved in our local church, and we love to spend time outside adventuring.

Choosing a doula is about finding someone you feel safe with, supported by, and truly listened to. I believe every family deserves to feel respected, informed, and cared for during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My goal is to create a calm, steady presence so parents can focus on welcoming their baby with confidence. I am a DONA Certified birth and postpartum doula, a Lactation Specialist, and VBAC certified. I also have training in techniques such as Spinning Babies, the Miles Circuit, and a variety of labor positions and comfort measures that can help support progress and reduce discomfort during labor. My role during birth is to help create a calm environment, offer practical comfort techniques, and support both the birthing person and their partner so they feel informed and empowered throughout the experience. After birth, my focus shifts to helping families rest, recover, and adjust to life with their new baby. Postpartum support can include newborn care guidance, feeding support, emotional encouragement, and helping parents find their rhythm during those early weeks. Every family is different, and I meet people where they are and support them in the ways that feel most helpful to them. I proudly accept Medicaid as well as private pay so that more families can access doula support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Supporting families during this time is truly meaningful work to me, and I feel honored to be invited into such an important moment in people’s lives. When I am not working with families, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and visiting the beach where I love collecting rocks along the shore.

As a dedicated doula, I provide compassionate, personalized support to individuals and families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My role is to nurture, inform, and empower you as you navigate one of life’s most transformative experiences. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or adding to your family, I offer emotional support, evidence-based information, and physical comfort techniques tailored to your unique needs and preferences. I believe that every birthing person deserves to feel heard, respected, and confident in their choices. From helping you create a birth plan to offering continuous support during labor and guidance in the early days of parenthood, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. My goal is to help you feel supported, safe, and strong as you welcome your baby into the world.
