Janelle is kind and understanding and non judgemental to anything you may have been going through with your baby, and she helps you fix even when you think it's going to be impossible for your child!

She always took the initiative to check in and see how we were doing, was always proactive about sharing endless resources, was always extremely prompt in answering questions I had and providing tips and was always so positive and chirpy. As a first time mom I had so many questions and Brandi made me feel so empowered in asking questions- there was no such thing as a silly question. My birth was a dream come true and Brandi was extremely instrumental in how my experience turned out! Please do yourself a favor and hire Brandi to walk alongside you during your beautiful maternity journey.

Thank you soo much Brandi for all you've done!!

I was fortunate…read moreto meet Lee at a time when I had determination to make positive changes in my relationships with my children, but was frazzled and lacking the tools to do so. Lee's Heart-2-Heart parenting classes changed my mind-literally-about how to parent my children. Lee's intimate, empathetic mentoring style is priceless support as I navigate this journey. Lee's engaging guided imagery and role play exercises, along with personalized troubleshooting and problem solving and home study assignments cover a complete scope of learning styles and activate students on the deepest level to facilitate positive change. On top of all that, she is on-call to answer your questions at any time. What you will learn by taking this course becomes a part of your parenting DNA. Short, simple, intuitive directives are easy to recall in the heat of a toddler melt-down, or a kindergardener's act of defiance. By following the heart-centered parenting model Lee teaches, communication and teamwork in my house improved dramatically. I am impressed with the changes I've seen in myself and my family since completing Lee's Heart-2-Heart parenting course 6 months ago, and I continue to earn dividends daily. I have immense gratitude for Lee and her dedication to help parents change the world a little bit every day through Heart2Heart parenting, and highly recommend Lee's services to facilitate you joining us on this positive parenting journey!

Sandra has been beyond helpful! We were struggling with how to best parent our 4 year old - from…read moredefiant behavior to staying in bed to not listening. Enter Sandra. She's a real life Supernanny without the cameras. Her approach is based on the RIE method which was new to us. We have had her come to our home weekly for the past 2 months and the change is noticeable. She will step in and coach you through how to both acknowledge your child's feelings and assert your role as a parent in a loving way. We can't imagine where we'd be without her! She's been instrumental in helping us become patient, understanding parents. Although we are still learning but we definitely are on the right path thanks to her guidance. If only we had called earlier.....

We met with Sandra to help with our two year old as we were having major bedtime struggles. Our…read moredaughter was going to bed at 11pm in our bed because she was resisting sleep so much. We were all beyond tired (also having a newborn who was waking through the night) and at a loss of how to get back on track. Sandra immediately assessed our situation and started sharing some parent coaching tips to help us know how to respond to our daughter's protests (and more importantly said, her needs). Sandra also followed up with articles and podcasts, all of which were beyond helpful. I have to say that Sandra left us with not only hope that things would get better if we continued her recommendations, but relief that we didn't have to resort to external tactics (we were using a sticker chart as reward for sleep and it was failing miserably). Instead, we found that we as loving parents have the power to respond in certain ways to help meet our daughter's needs. She started going to sleep around 9pm within days of having Sandra over. That is still later than we like but after a lot of work and many weeks we have reached a spot where our daughter no longer protests bedtime. And just yesterday she told me when she was tired and ready to go to bed! It has been a difficult journey and we probably could have gotten there sooner had we done more work with Sandra and sooner. I am so happy that what Sandra has shared with us can now be useful for other situations as well such as potty-training.

I was ready to give up but decided to give a lactation consultant a try before throwing in the towel. I used mg insurance website to find options and selected this location based on reviews. I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Laura. She instantly put me at ease. After learning about my birth story and our journey she helped me learn to use my pump, size my flanges and was able to get a good latch within minutes. I was skeptical about if I could take what I learned and replicate it once home. I am happy to say I've done it twice since getting home today. I look forward to my follow up appointment and working with them to continue to improve my supply.
