I'm currently working with Leah to help improve my breastfeeding journey with my daughter. Prior to my daughter being born, I took a virtual class with Leah and she provided me with a lot of knowledge and resources & I felt prepared to breastfeed. My daughter was born a little early and we ended up having a week long stay in the hospital which interrupted our initial success with breastfeeding. In addition, my daughter had a tongue tie. When we got home and settled, Leah came to our house to provide consultation and to answer any questions I had. She gave us great advice and provided us with some additional resources (nipple shield, different style of bottles to help transition from bottle to nipple) and she helped us to make the decision to have our daughter's tongue tie corrected and where to go. Since then, things having continued to improve for us and everyday gets easier and we're getting closer to being fully on the breast and not have to supplement with pumping and bottle feeding. I'm very grateful for her services and I would highly recommend her to anyone who plans on breastfeeding, not just to those mother's who may be struggling. I think anyone could benefit from a consultation with Leah.

Leah and her services played a critical role in the success of our breastfeeding journey! Her research and evidence-based approach helped me as a new mom make informed decisions, and her support, coaching and guidance was so helpful. Leah asked great questions and listened to concerns which is an invaluable thing in this space especially for new moms.

Leah has been a life saver this past year! I am first time mother and have been so thankful to have her as a part of my breastfeeding journey! She is always willing to help throughout any situation, continues to check in, and has shared a wealth of knowledge with me. From instilling much needed confidence in those first few weeks of breastfeeding, to diet issues and diapers, to letdown issues she has helped me through it all. I also love has she is always available even for a quick question. She has a very calming and reassuring nature and has plenty of ideas up her sleeve to help with any issues. She has been worth her weight in gold.

Leah saved my breastfeeding journey. After meeting with the hospital lactation consultant twice and a different IBCLC for over a month I was experiencing pain and my daughter was still slow to gain weight. As a new mom, I just felt like I couldn’t get the hang of breastfeeding like I should and it was stressful and overwhelming. Leah helped me make the necessary changes to get back on track. Her constant reassurance and supportive nature was exactly what I needed. I’m so thankful I found her and the time I did. I can’t recommend her enough.

Being pregnant and having a baby during this pandemic hasn't been easy, but Leah definitely helped make things easier. I've gotten mastitis with both my boys and as much as I wanted to be good at breastfeeding, it just never ended up being the experience I wanted. This time around I wanted things to be different. I made an appointment with Leah fairly soon after giving birth and I'm so glad I did. I started feeling better during my first 'virtual' visit with her. I got some more understanding about breastfeeding, tips to avoid mastitis (which I haven't gotten this time around and totally attribute to her!) better positioning and techniques to try which was definitely fun trying to maneuver my phone and baby but she made the whole experience work out just great. Our next visit was in person at my house and Leah always wore her mask and took precautions regarding covid. Leah helped fine tune our positioning and even told us about our daughter's jaundice. I'm so grateful her service was available during this time! I only wish I knew about her sooner so I could have had help with my boys. I honestly cannot recommend her enough.

Leah is great. She demonstrates knowledge and professionalism, besides caring. She tailored our appointment to my needs and helped a lot with my baby daughter.

Leah is so comforting and she is very thorough. You can tell she truly cares about what she does and I cannot recommend her more highly. She provides resources and focuses both on mom and baby. She is a gift. This is the best experience I have ever had with any lactation specialists.
