  • I offer integrated Lactation and Craniosacral Therapy appointments, either in my office in Newton or in your home in the greater Boston area. Initial visits are typically 1.5 hours and 1-1.5 hours for follow ups. I will assess your baby’s feeding, included a weighted feed and also do some craniosacral therapy as time allows. We will work on a plan to improve any challenges you are facing in a way that works for YOU.

  • I do all prenatal consults virtually, I also use virtual consults for follow ups or if you are out of the Boston area we can work together entirely virtually. We will work on a plan to improve any challenges you are facing in a way that works for YOU.

  • I accept several major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, some BCBS plans and Mass General Brigham. Most often, there will be no out of pocket charge to you. More information is available below, and please reach out if you have any questions about payment and I can give you individual details.

    I never want someone to go without support, so if you are worried about paying for lactation support please reach out to discuss options.

More info on payment and insurance

Please find information below to help understand the complexities of insurance payment for lactation services. My goal is for cost to not be a barrier to getting care. Note that I typically submit a claim for both the breastfeeding parent and the baby. If the breastfeeding parent and baby are on different plans, payment will be handled on a case by case basis—please contact for more information.

Aetna

I am in network with Aetna. Usually home, office and virtual visits will be fully covered, however Aetna may assign a copay or coinsurance payment, typically $10-20. I am required by my contract with Aetna to send you an invoice for this amount.

BCBS of MA

BCBS of Massachusetts is very good about reimbursing in full for lactation appointments. Their policy is to reimburse the member directly, so I will send you an invoice to pay me, and then a superbill to submit for full reimbursement.
