Find Your Bliss
Welcome New Parents
Welcome to my lactation consultant website. My name is Ashley, and I am a caring and passionate lactation consultant with an abundance of experience with new moms. Lactation visits are available both in-home and virtual depending on breastfeeding needs and COVID-19 restrictions.
As an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, I have the knowledge and tools to help moms and their infants in many breastfeeding situations. When scheduling an appointment, the fee will include a 1 to 1 1/2-hour visit and a week of follow-up communication through phone, text, or email.
I have a doctorate in public health, where I focused my research on breastfeeding success. My research has proven that the infant’s father’s involvement as part of the breastfeeding team can help increase breastfeeding success. I also encourage the infant’s father to join the appointments.
I am in-network with Aetna and United Health Care plans, with more health insurance plans in the works. In-network coverage is based on your plan. When reaching out for an appointment, please let me know if you are a member of any of these health insurance plans and we can discuss how I work with these health insurance companies.

Recent Customer Reviews
Ashley is great! She listens to my struggle with the baby and then tailors every session to help optimize my experience breastfeeding. My favorite thing of working with Ashley she doesn’t push anything I’m not comfortable with on me and doesn’t push any “right” way and just builds on the foundations that are working for me and my baby.

Ashley talked me through the hardest first days of learning to breastfeed In the hospital after a C-section, with all kinds of practical advice and an incredibly warm and kind positive energy as I navigated the many emotions those first few days…Now at almost 8 months, I’m still breastfeeding and it has become a breeze and a joy thanks in large part to Ashley…
