The cost of a lactation consultant in Greenwood, SC 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 Greenwood offer telehealth options at reduced rates.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most health insurance plans cover breastfeeding support and counseling by a trained provider without a copayment when delivered by an in-network provider.

  • 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 Greenwood, SC, 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.

Hi, I'm Suzanne Nicklas! I'm a Registered Nurse, IBCLC, Doula and Health Coach based in Greenville, SC. As a nurse, my passion has been working with new parents and infants. I have worked with hundreds of families in my fifteen years as a lactation consultant and doula. I love educating families prior to the birth of their baby and particularly enjoy the postpartum period. As the mother of four, my own birth experiences led me to this work. I offer 24/7 on call Lactation "office hours" to assist families at any time of day or night. My passion for wellness started many years ago when I took the first of many health coach trainings, the first being through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I began health coaching in 2010 and since then my practice has transformed and grown in many ways. As I have grown as a person, so has my work. Along the way I have picked up skills based on my own personal interests and broadened my education and am able to share those with both my lactation and doula clients as well as my coaching clients. Some of these training include yoga, aromatherapy and reiki. It is my love of combining conventional and alternative philosophies of care that led me to Ayurveda and Yoga. My trainings have enabled me to blend the wisdom of Eastern medicine into our Western way of living to create lifestyle transformations that work in our busy day to day lives. All of my services are offered both virtually and in person. Lastly but most importantly, as a partner and mother of four amazing humans, I bring both personal experience and professional care to the families I serve. I am honored that you have chosen to visit my site and I look forward to working together.

Hello, my name is Shandrea Herrington, and I am the mother of two wonderful boys, aged 18 and 19. My personal journey and dedication to providing exceptional care and support to families during the precious period of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood have led me to develop a passion for assisting families outside regular office hours. As a highly experienced Medical Assistant with over 10 years in pediatrics, obstetrics, and gynecology, I am deeply passionate about helping families navigate the challenges of welcoming a new life. My extensive background in the medical field has equipped me with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the numerous physical and emotional changes expectant mothers experience throughout their pregnancy. My vast experience working with newborns has also enabled me to deeply understand the needs and demands of both mothers and babies during this critical period. With a strong belief in the power of compassionate care and support, I established Baby Bliss by Shan—a company dedicated to providing expert guidance and assistance to individuals and couples as they navigate the beautiful yet challenging journey of parenthood. I understand that every family is unique, with its own set of desires, fears, and expectations. That's why our services are personalized to meet each client's unique needs. I provide breastfeeding support, newborn care, and postpartum doula care services, ensuring parents receive the best guidance possible.

I’m Laura, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a Bachelor of Science in Maternal and Child Health and Human Lactation. I offer both virtual and in-person consultations, providing breastfeeding Support and infant feeding support to families globally and locally in CSRA, North Augusta, Augusta, Martinez, Evans, Grovetown, and surrounding regions. My specialization includes addressing concerns related to oral function and mobility, nurturing gut-health alongside lactation, tackling challenges such as low milk supply and relactation, optimizing pumping techniques including flange fitting, overcoming bottle feeding difficulties, and supporting families with older babies. These areas aren’t just my skills—they’re also my passion. I’m dedicated to staying informed about the newest updates to ensure every family receives the best care and the most current information available. As both a lactation consultant and a mother to a 9-year-old wild child, I’ve learned that a successful breastfeeding journey involves more than just latch and milk supply. I take a deeper look, seeking to understand the ‘Why?’ behind challenges and to provide compassionate and honest care. I believe in nurturing your ability to advocate for yourself and your family throughout the breastfeeding journey. With each breastfeeding journey being unique and each family having their own goals, you can expect me as your lactation consultant to think outside the box, considering various factors that can influence breastfeeding and infant feeding challenges. Each session with me is dedicated to fostering open conversations, pinpointing emerging issues, and working together to create customized plans that address your individualized needs.

Recent review

Laura was simply incredible. She helped me with my third baby, when I thought I had things figured out. He was born with pretty severe tongue and lip ties, and had a hard time breastfeeding. Laura was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and kind. She was personable and compassionate, and walked the line between being a friend and being a professional. Laura helped us navigate a frenectomy, projectile vomiting, overproduction, and lots of emotions. We loved her, and cannot recommend her highly enough!
