EMPIRE LACTATION, INC.

Since 2007, my experiences with new families have shown me that doubt, anxiety, and pressure  to "succeed" can serve as powerful catalysts for new beginnings. And there are few other new beginnings more motivating then pregnancy, childbirth and lactation. This is your journey toward achieving your goals.

As an International Certified Lactation Consultant and retired doula, Lea brings over 30 years of expertise in child development and education to her lactation support services. She has directly assisted thousands of families and supported over 225 births, with a strong commitment to providing quality care and information.  Her Masters in Educational Psychology and her Bachelors in Nursing have provided her the grounding necessary to advocate and educate. Throughout the last decade, Lea has worked in both hospital settings and private practice, gaining valuable skills in areas such as oral structures, premature deliveries, NICU stays, cleft palates, endocrine disorders, breast surgery, and supply issues. She enjoys teaching others about lactation support and cherishes time spent with her family, swimming, and hiking.

Empire Lactation is not directly in-network with any insurance providers, but we will advocate for your reimbursement. We have partnered with Wildflower Health to bring lactation support directly to you.  Wildflower currently accepts CIGNA.  For our cash pay clients there is a tiered plan to increase access to high-quality, consistent care.
