F A Q s

Do you provide lactation consulting and feeding therapy in my area?

Yes — I provide in-home lactation consulting and infant feeding therapy in Yardley, Newtown, Richboro, Washington Crossing, Doylestown, New Hope, Bordentown, Princeton, Hopewell, Pennington, and surrounding towns. If your area isn’t listed, please reach out to confirm. I also offer virtual lactation visits for families outside my travel range.

Do you accept insurance for lactation and occupational therapy visits?

I am in-network with Independence Blue Cross, AmeriHealth, Blue Cross Blue Shield (Highmark and BlueCard NJ plans), United Healthcare, and Aetna. For breastfeeding dyads, both parent and baby are considered patients, which may mean two copays — this is standard across lactation practices. I bill under “specialist” when estimating co-pays.

What if I don’t have those insurance carriers?

If your insurance isn’t listed, the evaluation fee is $220 and follow-up sessions are $175. I provide a superbill you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement.
For New Jersey residents: state law requires lactation consultations to be covered at 100%. If your insurer denies coverage, you can cite NJ P.L.2019, c.343.

What does a lactation or occupational therapy session look like?

I provide services in the comfort of your home — the place you and your baby feel most at ease. An evaluation lasts 60–75 minutes; treatment sessions last 45–60 minutes. Sessions may include:

Observation of a breast or bottle feed
Gentle manual therapy and infant bodywork
Adjusting feeding strategies and positions
Parent education and a plan for ongoing progress

Why choose an occupational therapist (OT) for infant feeding support?

Occupational therapists are trained to help our clients live their lives. Whatever your goal may be. Whether it is breast or bottle feeding, OTs have the full body anatomical knowledge, social-emotional knowledge, mental health knowledge, sensory integration knowledge, feeding and swallowing knowledge, and more to put the puzzle pieces together. I am so passionate about what I do and I am confident I can help your new blossoming family enjoy this postpartum period!
