Emily Anderson

5 years of experience

Hi! My name is Emily! I'm a certified labor doula, lactation counselor, and certified educator of infant massage. With a passion for supporting families through the transformative journey of childbirth and early parenting, I bring expertise in providing compassionate care, promoting breastfeeding, and fostering parent-infant bonding through the art of infant massage.

Recent review

Emily was outstanding as our doula. She eased our worries and remained with us throughout the whole process. She was very informative and helpful throughout the whole process. She made us feel at ease. She ensured our needs were met and guided us through our pregnancy and birth. She went beyond our expectations, and even assisted us after birth as well with our breastfeeding struggles. We were so lucky to have her, and she was able to capture pictures for us so that our focus could be on the birth, each other, and our beautiful baby. It was an amazing experience with Emily and one that we will definitely love to have her for again for any future births we have.

Every parent has the right to breastfeeding support. Breastfeeding is natural but a learned skill for a mother and baby. Let Let me be your loving support as you start your journey as a mother. You need to know what is normal newborn behavior and that you are doing a good job! During my 10 years doing inpatient lactation, I have worked with thousands of new families including well and high risk moms and babies. I have 40+ hours of training to work with tongue tied babies pre- and post-release.

Accepts insurance

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!

Grace was absolutely the support I needed in my breastfeeding journey. She helped me throughout the whole journey. She was knowledgeable about breastfeeding and also helped with baby milestones along the way. She gave tips on what was best for baby in position to help with a better latch, tips on feeding/ pumping throughout the night, how to increase my milk production, breastmilk facts and so much more. She was friendly, personable, supportive and made my breastfeeding journey such a wonderful and memorable bonding experience with my baby. The only thing I would have done differently is connected with her sooner and learn more before I delivered my baby girl.

It's always a good idea to keep detailed receipts and documentation for all medical expenses paid using HSA or FSA funds in case of audit or verification needs. Additionally, it's recommended to check with your specific HSA or FSA plan provider to confirm coverage details, as there may be variations in coverage and eligibility requirements between different plans.
