INSURANCE
Most insurance plans cover lactation visits at no out-of-pocket cost to you. For those whose insurance does not provide coverage, I offer a reduced self-pay rate of $100 for a comprehensive 60–90 minute visit. This includes a full evaluation, any applicable services listed above, and a personalized care plan with ongoing support.

Meet Katie – RN, IBCLC, and Compassionate Partner in Your Breastfeeding Journey
Hi, I’m Katie—an experienced Registered Nurse (RN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a deep passion for maternal and infant health. I bring 20+ of hands-on experience from both newborn intensive care and outpatient lactation clinics, and I currently lead the lactation department at Dayton Children’s Hospital, where I care for infants from just 1 day old through their first year.
My clinical background is complemented by advanced training in craniosacral therapy and certification in Neonatal Touch and Massage, which allow me to address oral, jaw, and full-body tension that can interfere with effective latching and feeding. I provide gentle, effective bodywork and oral facilitation techniques to support pain-free and efficient breastfeeding.
I also specialize in tongue tie assessments, offering supportive, non-invasive strategies to help mitigate their impact—and I can refer to trusted frenotomy providers when necessary.
What drives me most is helping families feel confident and supported in their feeding journey. I believe in compassionate, family-centered care—meeting you where you are, listening deeply, and tailoring support to your baby’s unique needs.
As a mom of three, I’ve personally breastfed each of my children for 1 to 2.5 years, and I know how powerful it is to have the right help at the right time. I feel honored to now be that support for others.
