Months later I needed to follow up worrying about my supply and my daughter's symptoms. Through her compassionate education and some practical tips I was able to rest my worries. Sure enough my daughter and I are smooth sailing again with so much less worry and so much more confidence.

I can't express enough how transformative our experience with Roza, our lactation consultant, has…read morebeen. From the moment we met, her expertise and confidence were evident, immediately putting us at ease. Roza is not only highly knowledgeable about breastfeeding techniques and challenges, but her genuine support and encouragement made all the difference in our journey. It was my second baby so I felt confident before she was born, having very positive breastfeeding experience with my first. I thought the 4 different lactation consultants that did 10 minute drop by's at the hospital were more than enough. Until I realized, something was really wrong. My second baby wasn't eating, she was clicking and wasn't keeping her latch. I am so thankful my sister found Roza. She was highly recommended by many moms, and we decided to have an in person visit. Thank goodness we did! She weighed my baby before and after feeding, guided us and pointed us in the right direction. She validated my feelings, gave consideration to my maternal instincts and just gave us all the tools we needed to make it work. She took the time to listen to our concerns and tailored her guidance to fit our unique situation. With her help, we were able to overcome a hurdle that once felt insurmountable to me. Roza's calm demeanor and positive attitude inspired us to keep going, and her wealth of experience shone through in every session and communication (which she doesn't just leave you hanging- she's on call available for questions, clarifications, support and hope). She checked in on us repeatedly until she was sure the issues were resolved. Thanks to Roza, our breastfeeding journey has taken a beautiful turn, and we feel more empowered and connected than ever! My little baby girl is a whopping 22 lbs at 5 months and she's latching and breastfeeding like a champ now! Roza saved not only my breastfeeding journey, but saved my baby a lot of pain and frustration, and for that, we are forever indebted to this wonderful woman. I wholeheartedly recccommend her to anyone seeking guidance in their breastfeeding journey!

I gave birth at the beginning of the month and had some difficulty getting baby to latch. My…read morepediatrician put in a lactation consult for me but everywhere was booked until the end of the month. Breast feeding was something I really wanted to do so my husband and I decided to make the investment and have someone come help. I saw the amazing reviews for Mahmee so I gave them a call, they were booked but they gave me the number to Linda Hannah. She was an absolute lifesaver, angel, miracle! She managers to squeeze me in 2 days later and came to the house. Within 5 minutes baby was latching! She gave us a lot of good info and even told us she was available by phone call/FaceTime if any difficulties came up and would even come back without additional cost if needed. Baby has been latching and doing amazing ever since. If breast feeding is important to you then I highly recommend investing in having Linda come work with you. My husband and I were so happy with her and I highly recommend her to everyone.

I was told "we don't breastfeed at any cost" and didn't feel shame about any decisions we made which was a huge help. I also love being able to use the app to ask follow up questions. We went in person to their offices but I believe they also do house visits which would be very convenient if you don't live close.

Her words helped me along with her showing me what I can do differently. I just want to say thank you for everything, I will definitely recommend her to all my friends!

Gentle Nurturing is Leslye Adelman, and Leslye Adelman is a horrible person…read more Short version: -did not follow through on her promises from day one -yelled at me and HUNG UP ON ME the first/only time I called her -charges $10 for her breastfeeding support group at A Mother's Haven...there are excellent FREE ones available in the area, trust me -is NOT worth your time or money. Long version: Last Friday, my doctor started me on antibiotics for a case of mastitis. I was shaking uncontrollably with a temperature of 101.2, was aching from head to toe, and was generally just miserable. By Sunday the temperature and body aches were gone, but the lump in my breast had grown to the size of a golf ball, and I was having terrible pain with just moving side to side. I called my doctor and she told me that I had one day to aggressively try and break up the clot, otherwise I would have to be admitted for IV antibiotics and a breast surgery consult. Of course this was upsetting. I started to follow her instructions, taking hot showers and kneading the lump, which was excruciating. I decided to call Leslye and see if she was available for a home consult, to offer her expertise and at least tell me if I was doing things correctly. Now, here I have to tell you that at both of my previous consults with Leslye, at our pediatrician's office, she told me that she was available via phone or text, 24/7, and that if I had any questions I could contact her. I texted her once, just after our first consult, because she was supposed to email us a list of baby apps she recommended. She never replied to that text, nor did she ever send us the promised email. That was over 3 weeks ago. On this day, Sunday, I called the first number she gave me, but there was no answer, so I left a voicemail. Then I decided to try the second number. I was in agony, exhausted, and desperate. The second number rang, then suddenly Leslye picks up and says, "STOP CALLING ME", then immediately hangs up. I was dumbfounded. I hadn't been harassing her...far from it. For a brief second I thought perhaps she thought it was someone else, so I sent a quick text message saying as much, as well as identifying myself and letting her know I needed her lactation expertise. Her phone sends "read receipts", so I saw that she promptly read the message, but I received no response, nor a call back. As I said, I was in pain, hadn't been able to rest because I was constantly showering, massaging, or pumping, and was completely terrified that I might end up back in the hospital. When Leslye hung up on me, I just started bawling. I certainly had NOT been calling her excessively....this was my first time! And at a time when I really truly needed her, her response was "STOP CALLING ME". I have already found another lactation consultant, and let me tell you, the difference is astounding. There are enough great LCs out there that you DO NOT need to suffer through dealing with Leslye Adelman. My husband and I are so absolutely turned off by her behavior that we have even reconsidered taking classes at A Mother's Haven, where she also does some work. Parenthood and breastfeeding is already so stressful and exhausting. Please listen to me and don't add more stress to your life...avoid this woman.

I had Leslye come to my house one Sunday evening to help address some feeding issues and some milk issues in general. She was so very helpful and took as much time as I needed from her that night. Since that visit I have contacted her a few times by phone and text. I did not get a text reply but ALWAYS got a phone call back from her. Not always immediately but we need to remember that if she is with a client then she will not take calls - I get it! Leslye also helped me with dosage of supplements to help maintain my supply and always wanted to know how I was progressing. Leslye - if you are reading this, THANK YOU! I went to BF support groups at the hospital that I delivered at but got far more personal attention from you. You were one of the main reasons I am still nursing my son at 13+ months. I would highly recommend using Leslye for support for BF'ing.

Even after the visit, Rosemary continues to check in and offers support via text whenever I have additional questions -- whether it's about my own recovery or ensuring that my son is feeding properly.

I love that she is data-driven and lays out the science behind what is happening and potential solves. We know that all babies are different and she's ready to react in real-time to our baby's exact needs and patterns. As a first time mama, I often don't know what to ask upfront but Candice's text-first based approach is so helpful because I can ask questions as things come up rather than feeling pressure to have all my questions saved for a session. And then of course we schedule sessions when we need. She is such a delight to work with and I am so happy to have her as my breastfeeding bestie - TRULY.

Rebecca has been the greatest source of comfort and strength for me and my family as we had our…read morefirst child this year. I began with Rebecca's prenatal yoga classes in my second trimester after being fortunate enough to team up with her to be my birth doula. Even virtually, Rebecca managed to cultivate a deeply loving community. I looked forward to each class, which had the perfect balance of practice and open shares from each participant on our pregnancy journeys (the high highs and low lows). I can say without question that Rebecca made what could have been a traumatic birth experience into one that I look back on with empowerment and even (some) joy ("some" cause, I mean, c'mon it's still childbirth). I was in agony in early labor and when she arrived, Rebecca's energy, focus, and experience completely shifted my experience. She knew exactly what I needed in terms of positions, massage, partner support, and how to best communicate with the medical team and advocate for myself. And when you get Rebecca for birth, you get her for life too! Rebecca's postpartum visit to our home was incredibly helpful to me and my partner in terms of the next steps and how we can support one another. She also connected me with a lactation consultant that we desperately needed when I was having nursing troubles early on. I've also enrolled in one of her Mommy + Me classes and she has, ONCE again, been a saving grace during an unavoidably challenging time. Having no immediate family in LA, it's critical for me to have a community of mothers I can turn to, and this class has given me just that. Not only do I have the classes and peers to turn to, but Rebecca continues to make herself available to me via text to answer any (usually anxiously silly) questions I have. Any parent will know that sometimes you just need to ugly cry in front of other people who know exactly why you're ugly crying, and this class makes space for that as WELL as opportunities to learn what the heck it is I'm supposed to be doing. Rebecca meets each of her clients (and babies) where they are, providing support, love, wisdom, and a safe, judgment-free space to feel every feeling that comes with parenthood. I am forever grateful to have her in my corner, and you will be too!

I am very grateful for having a mentor who is so enthusiastic about wellness and spiritual growth and to be a part of a community that she continues lead and nurture.
