Lactation Consultants that Accept UnitedHealthcare in Massachusetts

It's said that breastfeeding a baby is the most natural thing in the world, but it doesn't always come naturally. Like many new parents, I experienced a few challenges while breastfeeding my own children. I want to help others avoid or overcome similar difficulties, if possible. The nursing dyad is such a special relationship and I want as many people as possible to get a chance to experience it. Here in America, lactation consultants are often the only health professional visiting a new family in their home, and sometimes we are the only health care worker seeing a new mom in the first six weeks postpartum. I feel really lucky to be one of the first people to meet the new baby! An IBCLC is a unique professional for your family's unique needs. We are small parts sister, friend, nurse, doula, nutritionist, therapist, parenting coach, biology teacher, and detective! We are an important part of your postpartum support system!

At Labor of love Doula Care LLC,we are here to support you all the way through your journey, until you deliver. It’s about advocacy, helping you find your voice, to be able to speak for yourself making sure you're heard and not rushed. Every birth is sacred and every Mother powerful.

I’m a compassionate lactation provider offering both virtual and in home consultations. There are so many factors within both the breastfeeding parent and baby that can impact the experience. I also practice infant craniosacral therapy, which is a very gentle manual therapy that can help release tension in the baby and optimize function for breastfeeding. I especially love offering continual care over the course of the breastfeeding journey. I am in network with Aetna, Mass General Brigham, United and Cigna.
