If you have BCBS, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana, or Tricare insurance you may qualify for free lactation consultations with me. Check if your visit is covered through TLN. If you have pre-approval from Aetna for lactation visits then you are likely to be reimbursed the fee from our visit.

“Highly Recommend”
Mercy helped us through our breastfeeding journey since our baby was just a few weeks old until he was over 5 months. We dealt with many ups and downs along the way related to various medical issues and she was there to support us every step of the way. She is calm, non-judgmental and supportive of what’s best for mom and baby, regardless of how that looks. I would highly recommend Mercy to anyone I know.

“Confidence”
Mercy was part of my breastfeeding journey from the moment my baby came ten weeks too early. As groggy as I was, I clearly remember Mercy taking time to teach me how to hand express colostrum properly, and she even took the little syringes of expressed colostrum up to the NICU for me. Mercy checked in frequently and cheered me on as I continued to pump for my little one. She encouraged me, checked in on me, and provided guidance for breastfeeding a premature baby. When I was able to latch my daughter, she was there and instilled the confidence that I needed in breastfeeding a preemie. My daughter and I left our seven-week NICU stay exclusively breastfeeding and I am so grateful for the time, support and compassion Mercy gave me during this hard chapter of life.

“Go to her first”
Mercy was amazing. After 3 visits to the hospital lactation, she was able to really answer questions and help guide me in some of the struggles I had. Will forever go to her first for all things breastfeeding.

*Anytime I am in your home, I will wear a mask and use gloves when handling your baby or touching you. The scale and other tools used at other consultations will be cleaned and sanitized before coming for your visit. I have been previously vaccinated for the COVID-19 vaccine and the booster as well. However, if I am not feeling well, I will reschedule your appointment so as not to put you or your family at risk. I ask that you reschedule as well if you or anyone in your household is sick.
