Why Moms Love Virtual Prenatal + Postpartum Support

It’s support that fits into your real life.

No packing a diaper bag, no rushing across town, no timing feeds around traffic.
You get expert guidance from the comfort of your couch — baby in arms, pajamas on, totally accepted.

You’re seen in your actual feeding environment.

Virtual care lets us look at your latch, pump setup, feeding positions, and daily routines exactly as they happen at home.
That means faster problem-solving and more personalized troubleshooting.

Partners can join from anywhere.

Whether they’re at home, traveling, or on a break at work, partners can easily hop in and feel included in the plan.

It’s calm, clear, and judgment-free.

Many moms say virtual visits feel even more relaxed than in-home support because they’re in their own space.
You can breathe, take your time, and show us exactly what’s going on.

You get help right when you need it.

Virtual consults offer more flexibility with scheduling — which means you’re not waiting days when feeding feels urgent.

Perfect for pumping + supply support.

Flange sizing, pump settings, wearable pump troubleshooting — virtual consults make it easy for us to guide you step by step.

You stay connected after the call.

With messaging support (included in many packages), you’re never left on your own to figure things out.
Questions come up — and we’re right there with you.

It’s just easier.

And when you’re pregnant or newly postpartum, “easy” matters.
Virtual care gives you the warmth, expertise, and clarity you need… without the stress of leaving home.

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.
