No rushing.
No packing.
No trying to time feeds around travel.
Just warm, clear guidance delivered exactly when you need it - from first latch to lazt.
Choose the Postpartum Support That’s Right For YOU
Those early days (and weeks… and months) can feel intense, emotional, and overwhelming, and every day brings something new.
Whether you’re looking for immediate help with latch or pain, reassurance about your supply, or steady guidance as you find your rhythm, there’s a virtual option here that will meet you exactly where you are.
You can choose a single visit or a package, whatever feels right.
You truly can’t choose wrong.
If you choose a package and have insurance we are in network with, the overall cost of the package will be reduced. Single visits are typically covered by in network insurance (see options here)

Wondering What Option is Best for You?
Here’s who these consults are designed for, and a few signs it might not be the best match right now.
A Single Visit is a Great Fit
You mainly want basic breastfeeding education
You feel confident with a simple plan for birth + the first few days
You already have strong support lined up for after baby arrives
A Package Will Support You Better
You’ve had challenges with a previous baby and want to prevent them this time
You want a postpartum visit already secured so you’re not scrambling when things get hard
You want someone who knows your history to support you before and after birth
You want real hands-on practice and time to build confidence
You know feeding can change quickly and want flexible follow-up visits included
You want personalized guidance tailored to your medical history, birth plan, and goals
Why Moms LOVE Virtual Visits
You get help right when you need it.
No waiting days for appointments or struggling alone in the middle of a feeding crisis. Virtual consults offer flexible scheduling — often same- or next-day.
It’s calm, comfortable, and baby-led.
You stay in your own space, feeding your baby exactly the way you normally do. We troubleshoot in real-time with your actual pillows, chair, pump, lighting, and setup.
You’re not packing a diaper bag or trying to “look put together.”
Postpartum is raw and real. Virtual support lets you show up exactly as you are — messy bun, pajamas, tears and all.
Latch help works beautifully on video.
Most latch problems come down to positioning, angle, and timing — all things we can see clearly and coach you through virtually.
Pumping + flange support is even easier virtually.
We can evaluate multiple flange sizes, watch your pump settings, and help you adjust technique on the spot.
We can see what’s really happening during feeds.
We observe your baby’s cues, latch patterns, milk transfer indicators, and feeding rhythm in a natural environment — which often leads to faster improvement.
Your partner can join from anywhere.
They can step in for help with bottle feeding, burping, soothing, or pumping, even if they’re joining from work or another room.
You stay connected between visits.
Many virtual packages include messaging support, so you get ongoing reassurance and guidance for all the questions that pop up at 2am… or during yet another cluster feed.

Hi, I’m Katie
IBCLC, mom of three, and founder of The Breastfeeding Mama
Available in office and virtually.
I became an IBCLC after facing my own significant struggles with breastfeeding and realizing how much better things could’ve been with the right kind of support. I’ve worked with thousands of families by providing online resources, groups, courses, and consults to help make feeding feel less overwhelming and more empowering.
I specialize in milk supply, pumping, and prenatal prep, and, more importantly, in meeting you exactly where you are, with care that’s realistic, compassionate, and rooted in both science and lived experience. I am a lifelong learner, constantly taking classes, learning new methods, and advocating for my clients to get the answers they deserve.
You’ll never be pressured to feed a certain way, you’ll always leave with a clear plan that feels doable, supportive, and tailored to you, and you will always have someone to turn to with your questions (even in the middle of the night). You are more than just a client when you walk into my office.
This work means everything to me, and I’m here to make sure you feel heard, equipped, and confident every step of the way. There is no greater privilege for me than working with you during this time.
I primarily do office visits in Littleton and virtual visits. For those who prefer home visits, Sierra, Julia and Breck are available across the Denver Metro, Foothills, and Castle Rock areas. Our team works together to ensure continuity of care, no matter who you see.

Insurance Coverage
Many insurances cover the total cost of your visits, but there may be out-of-pocket costs if your deductible hasn't been met, and this will be billed after the visit. We can provide an estimate if needed, but we can never guarantee what insurance will and will not cover. For our packages, most will be covered by insurance with an out-of-pocket fee for services not covered by insurance.
We’re in-network with most major Colorado insurance providers, including Medicaid. If you're using insurance for in-home visits, a $25 travel and home convenience fee applies per visit (waived for packages). When submitting your consult request, please provide us with both you and your baby's insurance information so we can verify insurance (unless it's a prenatal consult).
Please check our current status with the different insurances below and text 720-463-4016 with any questions. You can check out-of-network benefits and coverage here with Reimbursify, which we use to help you submit your claim.
Please text 720-463-4016 for any assistance with insurance or payment questions.

We are in-network with nearly all Aetna plans (including subsidaries), though there may be some exceptions. We can bill insurance for in-person and virtual visits. Standard copays, coinsurance, and patient responsibility apply as outlined in this document. Most clients pay anywhere from $0-100 depending on how many visits have been used. Aetna can be complex and deceiving with their covered visits, our new patient paperwork has additional information on how this looks.
-
We are in-network with nearly all UHC and UMR plans (and subsidiaries). We can bill for in-person and some virtual visits. Some plans require prior authorization. Standard co-pay, co-insurance and out-of-pocket costs may apply, though we find that most plans cover your visits.
-
We have partnered with Wildlflower to provide in-person and virtual care for Cigna families. This typically covers 4-6 visits, though we can usually get more approved. Please submit your insurance information here for fastest service. Don't hesitate to reach out for clarification.
-
Unfortunately, we are no longer able to bill BCBS/Anthem directly through TLN due to a company wide change. In Colorado, IBCLCs who are not MD, NP, etc. are not able to get in network. We encourage you to complain about the lack of in network IBCLCs available.
You can pay the full price of the consult, and we can provide a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement. We have found this to be the most effective way to get reimbursement.
-
We are proud to provide in-person and virtual care for Colorado Medicaid clients. Katie and Julia are currently the only ones that can provide this care. You must get a referral put in for lactation care through your doctor before we can see.
-
We are in network with Multiplan for in-person and virtual visits. Standard copays, coinsurance, and patient responsibility apply as outlined in this document.
-
We are unfortnately not in network with Tricare West at this time. We can provide a discount for those who are under Tricare. Please inquire for more details on pricing.
-
If we are not in network with your insurance, we are happy to provide a superbill to submit to your insurance by request. Please note we do not guarantee reimbursement.
Got Questions? Let’s Clear Them Up
Because milk supply is confusing enough—this part shouldn’t be.
-
As soon as you feel like you need support, and earlier if something feels “off.” The sooner we catch a problem, the easier it is to fix.
Many families schedule within the first 3–5 days, especially if they’re experiencing pain, latch difficulty, low output, or concerns about weight gain.If you choose a package, you’ll receive priority, next-available booking so you don’t have to wait when feeding feels urgent.
-
Yes!
We offer in-home support throughout the Denver metro area, office visits, as well as virtual visits for families who prefer flexibility or live further out. -
Yes.
We accept UHC/UMR, Aetna, Cigna, Colorado Medicaid, and Multiplan.
Most families have their lactation visits fully covered with little to no out-of-pocket cost.If you purchase a package, your covered clinical visits apply toward the package and reduce your overall cost.
-
That’s completely okay, and extremely common.
We’ll work with your baby exactly as they are that day.
Whether we practice with baby, with a doll, or shift into troubleshooting (like pumping or bottle-feeding strategies), you’ll still leave with a clear, realistic plan. -
You’re not alone - supply concerns are the #1 reason parents reach out.
At your visit, we’ll do a full evaluation, including milk transfer (if helpful), pumping assessment, flange sizing, and a customized supply plan based on your goals.If you want extra support, the Luxe and Luxe Light packages include multiple follow-up visits and unlimited messaging for ongoing adjustments.
