Providers You should know: Ashley River Lactation

Over the years as a birth photographer, I have made connections with so many incredible service providers in the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum space. I decided it's about time I shared my knowledge of these awesome businesses with you, so welcome to our first edition of my new series...

Providers you should know

First up in this series is Ashley River Lactation!

Alicia Rodman, IBCLC

Kelly Hatch, IBCLC

I actually first met Kelly back in 2018 when I photographed the birth of her second baby. We've kept in touch for the last few years and I was so excited to hear that she was starting a lactation consultation business last year.

Alicia and Kelly have both been nurses in women's and children's services for over a decade. Through their work, they realized there is a great need for outpatient lactation support and decided to find a way to fill that void themselves.

Alicia said, "My favorite part of what we do is getting to see families become comfortable and confident feeding their infants. Seeing them smile when they have done a great job is priceless."

Ashley River Lactation provides lactation support visits in their office, in your home, or virtually. They can take insurance if lactation support is covered in your policy and they also offer self pay options.
