Lactation Consultants that Accept UnitedHealthcare Community Plan in California

During my journey through early motherhood, I saw the struggles of myself and friends. I found a passion for helping others. While doing my training to become a postpartum doula, I realized I also loved learning about breastfeeding. This ignited a fire for me to complete the certification process to become a lactation consultant as well. I provide overnight support of newborns as well resources and education on various infant care topics. I also do in home lactation visits.

I’m a mom of 3 girls and got into lactation consulting after having difficulty nursing my first. I do office, home, and telehealth appointments and work with many insurance plans so that visits are fully or mainly covered.

My goal is to educate and support families to make informed decisions related to nutrition and infant feeding, including breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, formula-feeding, and starting solids.
