Lactation Consultant in Novi, Michigan | Lactation Loop IBCLC

Written By Jennifer Chivas

If you're looking for a lactation consultant in Novi, Michigan, you're in genuinely local hands. Our founder, Jennifer Chivas, started her career right here — as a Labor & Delivery nurse at Novi's Henry Ford Providence Park Ascension Hospital from 2008 to 2011, then went on to run the hospital's lactation department from 2011 to 2017. That's six years spent helping Novi families in the exact hospital many of them delivered in. Today, our Michigan team carries that same connection forward — Lisa Levy, who still works part-time in Labor & Delivery at that same Novi hospital, also sees patients for Lactation Loop, and Heather Carnaghi splits her time between our team and Labor & Delivery at Henry Ford Hospital Southfield.

In-Home Visit — $225 | In-Office Visit — $150 | Virtual Visit — $100 | Most insurance accepted | Most families pay $0

Available Monday–Sunday, 9am–8pm. Same-week appointments often available.

Board-Certified IBCLC Support in Novi

This isn't a practice that showed up in Novi from somewhere else. Jennifer built her entire career at the hospital right here in town, and IBCLCs like Lisa and Heather still work hospital shifts in Labor & Delivery alongside their time with Lactation Loop — so the clinical judgment you get at home is the same judgment that's been trusted inside a Novi delivery room.

Whether you're a first-time mom figuring out your latch, dealing with low milk supply, navigating a tongue or lip tie, trying to build a pumping schedule before returning to work, or just need someone in your corner — we've got you.
