See What Clients Are Saying

“Heather’s calm and encouraging manner was very reassuring and helpful when I needed support with nursing my newborn. If you’re having trouble and are stressed about breastfeeding, I highly recommend her.”

“Breastfeeding was an unexpected hurdle when I brought my first born baby home. With Heather’s expertise, gentle guidance, patience and reassurance I was successfully able to navigate breastfeeding my daughter until she self-weaned at 18 months old. With my second child I developed mastitis, which had been one of my greatest fears. Heather coached me through the steps to take and I was better in no time, I am beyond grateful!”

“I worked with Heather after the birth of my first child, Stella. Her knowledge and support were invaluable to our nursing relationship and led to a wonderful breastfeeding experience for 15 months! She successfully helped Stella and I with shallow latch, nursing positions and boosted my confidence when things were tough. Thank you, Heather!”

“I highly recommend Heather for your lactation needs. Without her help, there is no way I could have nursed my twins, especially with only one breast producing breast milk. She helped support, reassure and guide me. I will always remember and appreciate her help.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Heather! She is the only reason I successfully breastfed my first for a year. Through mastitis, nipple damage and intolerances. I don’t think I would have lasted two months if it weren’t for her support. She cares and will go above and beyond to make your breastfeeding experience better!”
