The Mom BFF
I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), as well as a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST). That means in addition to lactation help, I can assist you with your car seats all the way from infant seat to big-kid booster.
I pride myself on a warm, authentic approach and the ability to befriend pretty much anyone. After 15 years in the corporate world, I decided to take that superpower, go back to school, and learn how to help new parents.
Does insurance cover lactation care?
The short answer is, Yes! Usually. The Affordable Care Act mandates that non-grandfathered private insurance plans (including Marketplace and employer-based plans) are required to cover prenatal and postnatal lactation counseling throughout the entire duration of breastfeeding. I partner with two third-party billing services to make it easier for both of us.
Aetna, United, or BCBS of IL
I can bill Aetna, United Healthcare, or Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois through The Lactation Network (TLN).
Cigna
If you’re covered by Cigna, I partner with in-network Wildflower Health to deliver affordable, efficient lactation care.
Other Insurance/Self-pay
Pay out of pocket and get reimbursed by your insurance or FSA/HSA. I’ll provide a superbill and next steps. I accept Apple Pay, Venmo, & Zelle.
I believe the ability to pay should never get in the way of getting the help you need. If you’re looking for lactation support and are worried about affording it, please contact me.
When times get tough, I’ll meet you where you are.

"Rachel made me feel seen, heard, and supported. She never made me feel judged or rushed, and always took the time to answer every question promptly with the utmost kindness and patience. She always made herself readily available. More than helping me with breastfeeding, she helped restore my confidence as a mom. She reminded me to trust myself and gave me hope on the hard days. Rachel’s compassion, encouragement, and genuine care made all the difference during a time when I needed it most. "

"Rachel was extremely friendly, informative, and flexible to work with. She made me feel comfortable from day 1. Rachel was personally invested in every step of my breastfeeding journey and would even drop off miscellaneous items that I needed during her spare time. It is very obvious that lactation is Rachel’s passion, and it’s a wonderful thing to witness and be a part of."

"Rachel came to my house less than 24 hours of her being contacted which made me feel like my struggles were a priority to her. She came in and we immediately got to work on latching and the defeat was lifted from my shoulders. We worked on positioning and latching and baby girl did it without effort! I’d recommend her to anyone struggling with their breast feeding journey. It is such a difficult time to go through so freshly postpartum but with Rachel’s encouragement and tips, baby girl and I were successful! Highly recommend this lovely human!!!"
