  • If I could give 100 stars I would. I was hesitant about contacting a lactation consultant because I wasn't sure if I needed it or how it would help but I could not be happier that I did. Not only did Amanda help my son and I with our breastfeeding process but she came with a wealth of knowledge about EVERYTHING baby. She recommended so many helpful resources and had supplies on hand to make our journey easier. 100% will recommend to all my mama friends!

  • Amanda saved my sanity and then some! I reached out to her in desperation during my first (and hopefully only) bout of mastitis. She got me in virtually within 15 minutes. I was so emotional and she handled my tears with such grace. She listened, asked amazing questions, and taught me so much more than the other two lactation consultants had in the past. Her recommendations cleared up my engorgement in 8 hours and finally helped me get to the bottom of why I was getting repeat clogged ducts. All from her computer. I am so grateful for her. I’ll be telling every new mama about her.

  • If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Amanda is the third LC I worked with in what has been such a challenging breast feeding journey. Amanda truly puts her heart and soul into every visit and she explains everything and the WHY as you walked through each step of helping you and your new precious baby learn to help each other produce and feed efficiently and enjoyably. She’s also one of the most kind positive energies you could ever grace your space with. If there is ever a time she is questioning something tricky, she has an arsenal of a network to refer and tap into. I have found the most fabulous speech therapist, myofascial therapist and cranial sacral therapist through Amanda. She helped me build out the dream team that was specific to my babies needs. I truly feel like I owe her the world ❤️🥹
