About Lighthouse Lactation
Hey mama, I'm Sammy.
Welcome to the Lighthouse Lactation family!
I am an IBCLC, RN & mother of 2.
My passion is providing excellent lactation support- caring for mothers as a whole (physically, emotionally, mentally); I have years of experience on a L&D floor, & in the NICU.
My heart is to help families navigate the learning curve of breastfeeding, coming alongside to equip with resources & confidence, aligning with specific breastfeeding goals- all with the added convenience of providing in-home care! (And no, don't change out of your pajamas or clean your house for me- I will come as you are!).
I serve families within the Treasure Valley, Idaho.
As I was dreaming & planning for this business, an image of a lighthouse came to mind (strange, I know, as we are land-locked up here in Idaho). Sometimes breastfeeding feels "stormy" & intimidating - you may have question/concerns with no idea where to start.
I hope to be a light that guides you to a place of confidence & smooth sailing.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) significantly improved access to lactation care by requiring most health insurance plans to cover breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment without cost-sharing. This includes prenatal and postnatal services provided by trained professionals, such as lactation consultants, and access to breast pumps. These provisions aim to support breastfeeding as part of maternal and infant health, removing financial barriers and ensuring consistent care before and after childbirth. The number of covered visits can vary depending on individual needs and the recommendations of healthcare providers. Some insurance plans may have specific limits; for example, certain Aetna plans cover up to six lactation consultations per 12-month period, combining both in-network and out-of-network care.
If you would like to submit a claim to your insurance company, please request a SuperBill (an invoice will be sent to the email on file after each appointment if self-pay is desired).
