  Lactation consultant and owner

  Through my private practice, Circle of Love Lactation Support, www.CircleofLoveLactation.com I offer professional lactation consultant home visits to families in and around Bloomington, Indiana. I help families with breastfeeding and pumping through the ups and downs of parenthood. I am able to accept some health insurance plans. If your insurance covers lactation visits, you get up to six visits with each birth. The first visit can be a prenatal breastfeeding consultation or a home visit after the baby is born. Go to my website and click on "health insurance" to see if your insurance covers visits.I would love to have the opportunity to work with you as you feed your baby. Breastfeeding can be hard, and receiving skilled and compassionate support can really help. Research shows that 92% of new moms report breastfeeding challenges in the first week. You are not alone! In 2009 I arrived home from the hospital with a baby who lost over 10% of her birth weight. The baby rarely latched, and it was painful when she did. Pumping hurt. I was struggling. I felt lost, confused, and frustrated. An IBCLC came to my home multiple times and gave me the information and guidance I needed to have a plan and meet my goals. The breastfeeding support I received made all the difference. I have been working hard to pay it forward ever since. I offer home visits in Bloomington, Indiana and the surrounding areas in Southern Indiana. I take the time to review your story, provide a care plan, and teach you so you feel empowered and informed. I have been passionate about supporting mothers, parents, and new families since 2009.You deserve support. No pressure. No judgment. My private practice is built on care, education, and excellence. Whether you want to breastfeed or pump. Whether you want to exclusively feed your milk or provide a combination of milk and formula. Whether you want to breastfeed for days, weeks, months, or years. I am here to help you meet your goals. Show less
