What Clients Are Saying

  • If I could give Katie ten stars, I would. As a first time mom I didn’t know much about my milk supply or even how to breastfeed my baby really, there’s more to it than most people think. I’m so grateful to Katie for taking the time to not only help teach me the best way to feed my son and educate me on my supply (how to main it, good foods to eat, supplements that help), but she’s given me amazing references to people in my area that help with tongue ties and body work. She’s incredibly knowledgeable in so many different areas, I can’t recommend her enough!

  • We are so incredibly grateful for Natalie. When I first met her, I was freshly postpartum, coming from another consultant completely frustrated, in tears, and ready to give up nursing altogether. Natalie immediately made me feel supported, heard, and hopeful.

    -New parent of 1

  • Katie is an awesome lactation consultant. Very knowledgeable and experienced with tongue tie babies. Katie carefully listens to the parents concerns and has a holistic approach to help the family to achieve their feeding goals. Meeting Katie truly safe my breastfeeding journey and my family is forever grateful that we crossed paths.- Tatiana
