Testimonials

  • “Katie quite literally SAVED our breastfeeding journey! After months of troubleshooting why our feeding sessions were so hard without success, I invited Katie to my home for more individualized advice. It was so nice working with her in the setting that I feed my baby in every day, and she was able to get an up close look at our struggles and offer her input. When she assessed my baby’s suck and said that she suspected a tongue tie, my mind replayed the words of the providers who told us that tongue-tied babies don’t gain weight the way my daughter was gaining weight and dismissed it as a possibility. However, with Katie’s recommendation I made an appointment with a pediatric dentist who confirmed that my girl had both a severe tongue tie and lip tie. After getting them revised, I have a new baby! Where nursing sessions used to be full of frustration and tears before they ended with a bottle, I am now getting the soothing and bonding experience of breastfeeding I’ve longed for all of this time! I am also using the positioning techniques that Katie showed me and it’s saving my back and neck! I will forever be grateful to Katie for restoring my hope when I was on the absolute brink of giving up, and I will sing her praises to all of my mama friends!”

  • “After a labor and delivery with a handful of complications, we had been warned that breastfeeding might be a challenge. We reached out to Katie to get some support and ensure we were doing everything we could to start out on a successful breast feeding journey. Katie helped us with different positions, pain management and feeding best practices. It’s also so comforting to have someone to reach out to when navigating breast feeding for the first time. For example, what the heck do I do with engorgement or is this normal?! She helped build our confidence to know our baby was getting everything she needed. I highly recommend working with her.”

  • “As I embarked on the breastfeeding journey again, and as a second time mom, I was on the fence as to whether I should seek help. Since it had been a few years, I decided to and was extremely glad I had chose Katie to help guide me! Her gentle and caring demeanor put me at ease, allowing me to ask questions. She was so thorough and knowledgable! I found her follow up resources to be very helpful and refer back to since we covered so much in our visit. Katie also discovered that my son’s mouth had several ties and urged us to seek additional guidance; even providing trusted referrals. Her network was wonderful as well. Katie’s care was incredible and will have an impact on my son’s health way past our breastfeeding journey. We can’t sing Katie’s praises enough and know you’ll love her as well! “

  • “Katie’s advice is always accurate and effective!

    I was having tension headaches from breastfeeding and she showed me a different position to feed my baby and that relieved me from the pain. She made my feeding experience so much easier and relaxing!”
