Lactation Consultants that Accept Meritain Health in Indiana

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.

Hello there! I am a both Certified Lactation Counselor with Milk Guide Lactation and a Certified Postpartum Doula. I aim to help families meet their infant feeding goals, while taking into consideration their overall postpatum wellness, holding space for all questions and feelings, and connecting them with local resources. I’d love to help you have an empowered postpartum experience!

Hi! I’m Katie Coffey, a nurse, lactation consultant, wife, and mother of 4! I’m passionate about educating women on the normal experiences of early lactation, guiding them through challenging breastfeeding moments, and offering ongoing support to help them achieve their feeding goals. I am honored to be apart of your breastfeeding and motherhood journey. I accept almost all insurances, and service families in Marion, Hamilton, western Hancock, and southern Madison counties.

Hello there! I’m Stephany Sawyer, an IBCLC in north eastern IN. I also have a background in Speech Language Pathology. I love coming alongside families and encouraging and supporting their feeding goals. I offer home visits within 30 minutes of my location in Middlebury and love providing support as long as families are wanting help. If your are outside my radius, I am happy to connect you to someone closer.

My passion is deeply rooted in my personal experience and life long passions to help others. I had a rough start breastfeeding our daughter. With the thoughtful care of an amazing IBCLC who came to my home to help me, I was able to have a long breastfeeding journey with our daughter. Her support made me realize that I wanted to help other parents achieve their goals. It was really a full circle journey for me. When I was in college, I thought that I wanted to go into healthcare, but my academic journey didn’t work out for that. I pursued a degree in marketing and entered into the business world. I could never figure out why that didn’t work out in college until I was inspired to become a lactation professional. God had a plan for me to help moms, and lactation has been my way to help people in the way that I always thought that I wanted to in healthcare. I am a mom to two amazing kiddos and in my previous career worked in marketing and sales. My husband and I met when we both worked in college athletics. I took a step back from my career when I got pregnant with our daughter and focused on her and living the coach’s wife life with SEC football. It is then that I found my passion for lactation. I am a proud graduate of the University of Notre Dame and I grew up in the Michiana area. I am so happy to be home and serving our community (and beyond) with my private practice.
