Welcome to my lactation consultant website. My name is Ashley, and I am a caring and passionate lactation consultant with abundant experience with new moms. Lactation visits are available both in-home and virtually, depending on your unique breastfeeding needs.
As an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I have the knowledge and tools to help parents with their infant in may different breastfeeding situations. When scheduling an appointment, the fee will include a 1 to 1.5-hour visit and one week of follow-up phone, text or email communication. You can read more about “The Visit” here.
Along with being an IBCLC, I am also a Doctor of Public Health, where I focused my research on breastfeeding success. My research has proven that the infant’s father’s involvement in the breastfeeding team can help increase breastfeeding success. I encourage any family, partner or support person to join the visit as long as mom is comfortable (the more ears, the better!).
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. Please visit the “Insurance” page for additional information.

Partners play a vital role in supporting breastfeeding, from providing emotional reassurance to advocating for their loved one’s needs. In this blog post, I discuss practical ways partners can get involved, including hands-on help at home and educating themselves on lactation. Plus, discover how my book, The Supportive Partner: A Dad’s Guide to Breastfeeding, can help dads feel more confident in their role.
After a tongue tie release, many parents expect immediate improvements in breastfeeding, but recovery can take time. In this blog post, I share what NYC moms need to know about feeding after the procedure, including common challenges, the importance of oral exercises, and how bodywork can support your baby’s adjustment to improved tongue mobility.
Breastfeeding challenges can sometimes go beyond technique, especially when underlying physical issues are involved. In this blog post, I discuss how bodywork, including craniosacral therapy (CST) and chiropractic care, can support better feeding outcomes for babies with conditions like tongue ties, torticollis, and birth-related tension. Learn how these gentle, hands-on therapies can make a difference in your breastfeeding journey.
The Supportive Partner is your quick, practical guide to navigating breastfeeding and postpartum with confidence. Written especially for dads and non-birthing partners, it offers real-world advice, compassionate insights, and clear steps to show up and support—right from day one.
