Happy Clients Say…
I cannot express how great my experience has been with Nurturing Traditions. After struggling to latch my newborn, I met with Sarah to address his possible tongue tie and for help with our breastfeeding journey. She was knowledgeable, friendly and helped show ways that we could be successful in every aspect we wanted. Any time I have a question or problem, I am able to reach out through the portal and have a quick response. An incredible business to help make my breastfeeding journey everything I want it to be!

Leah has been a great resource for all 3 of my children. Each of them has different needs and she helped me on my breastfeeding journey with each of them. She’s helped with issues from tongue/lip tie, shallow latch, and bottle introduction.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Nurturing Traditions. Leah radiates a warm and calming presence that made both baby and I feel very welcome and comfortable during our visit. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and provided me with a helpful protocol that completely relieved the nursing pains I was experiencing. If you’re looking to meet with a lactation consultant, be sure to visit Leah for the best care!

Leah helped with both of my pregnancies. Breastfeeding was challenging but very important to me. I was able to exclusively pump with my first and do some nursing with my second. She helped me as I transitioned from maternity leave with going back to work full time. I’m so thankful to have a IBCLC in my area!

My partner and I met with Leah for a prenatal appointment and it vastly exceeded our expectations. We had done a couple of other group/virtual parenting classes and read information online, but nothing compared with meeting Leah one on one and getting the specific information we need tailored to us. I also had a specific issue that Leah consulted with colleagues about and followed up with me within hours of our appointment.
It is clear that Leah is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. It is incredibly reassuring to know I now have an expert I can reach out to when my baby arrives!

Leah was SO helpful! I had very little guidance and an experience with another provider that left me feeling defeated. Nurturing Traditions helped me feel more hopeful about my breastfeeding journey!
