Nurture New Life LLC

Nurture New Life LLC is a Seattle-based lactation consulting business led by Catherine Fenner, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) since 2011. The company offers personalized breastfeeding support, including home visits, virtual consultations, and classes, to help parents navigate challenges and achieve their nursing goals with confidence.

The business serves families in a wide area including Seattle, Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Kirkland, Woodinville, Bothell, Mill Creek, Everett, Mukilteo, Bellevue, Carnation, Fall City, Issaquah, Maple Valley, Mercer Island, North Bend, Redmond, Renton, Sammamish, and Snoqualmie.

Clients can book appointments through the website by selecting whether they are pregnant, have a newborn, or are a colleague, and then filling out a form with their contact details, baby's due date, and how they heard about the consultant.

Initial consultations cost $260, while follow-up visits, prenatal consultations, and pumping consultations are $185 each. Additional fees include $35 for multiples, $25 for travel over 30 minutes, and $30 for one month of phone/email support.

The company provides a superbill for insurance reimbursement, noting that many plans cover out-of-network providers, though Regence specifically does not cover IBCLC services at this time.

A sliding scale option is available for families experiencing financial hardship, operating on an honor system where clients pay what they can at the time of service.

The business has been operating since at least 2011, when Catherine Fenner began working as a lactation consultant at Seattle Breastfeeding Medicine, and she has served as President of the Breastfeeding Coalition of Snohomish County since 2017.

Catherine Fenner holds certifications in treating breast pain with lymphatic support (2023), the intersection between lactation and sleep (2023), pump selection and flange fitting (2022), and prevention of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (2022).

Reviewers consistently praise the high quality of products and services, exceptional customer service, timely assistance, and the professionalism and attention to detail provided by the team.

Some reviewers on Reddit discuss the emotional and physical challenges of motherhood, such as the grief of childbirth or the difficulty of integrating a new baby into a family, themes that align with the support Nurture New Life aims to provide.

The website states that the business is not in-network with insurance providers, requiring clients to submit a superbill for reimbursement, and that payment is due at the time of service via cash, check, or credit.

The business offers a variety of services including home visits, virtual consults, and classes, with specific fees for travel beyond a 30-minute radius and additional charges for multiples.

The company emphasizes that there is no one right way to feed and nurture a baby, and they support families at all stages from newborn to weaning at whatever age that might be.

The business relies on the honor system for their sliding scale option, assuming clients select it due to a real need and providing services equally to all clients regardless of ability to pay.

Nurture New Life LLC is located at 526 Nw 196Th Pl, Shoreline, Washington.
