We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathleen. From the moment we met her, she became…read morean essential part of our pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. As a doula and IBCLC, she brought an incredible wealth of knowledge, compassion, and calm to a time that can often feel overwhelming--especially as first-time parents. Our daughter arrived three weeks early, and thanks to Kathleen, we felt prepared and supported every step of the way. She helped us understand what to expect and guided us with care and empathy through each stage. Her support didn't stop at birth--Kathleen was invaluable during the postpartum period as well. She quickly noticed feeding issues with our daughter and helped us navigate them with expertise and reassurance. I truly believe that the only reason my daughter is exclusively breastfed today is because of Kathleen's guidance. What made her stand out even more was her ability to make us feel safe, informed, and confident in the choices we made for ourselves and our baby. She also recognized signs of postpartum anxiety in me and connected us to helpful resources without hesitation. With no family nearby, we were nervous about going through this alone--but Kathleen stepped in and truly felt like family. If you are looking for a doula and/or IBCLC, look no further. Kathleen is a gift, and we are so grateful she was part of our story.

I found Kathleen right when I was about to give up on trying to nurse my daughter. I had already…read morebeen through so much (preterm 33 week emergency c section, severe preeclampsia, nicu stay) and on top of everything else, it turned out that my sweet preemie had tongue and lip ties which were preventing her from effectively removing milk. I had been to a few lactation consultants before meeting Kathleen and literally none of them were able to spot this. I was getting useless advice like "make your boob a taco" or "bring baby to boob, not boob to baby". Kathleen saw it though and that was a true game changer! Meeting Kathleen was a lifesaver. She came to my home for our visits when I was really struggling and gave me actionable, manageable things I could immediately do that day to improve my situation. Besides identifying my daughter's ties, she also gave recommendations for other professionals we could use that would help and an action plan for how to move forward. She is incredibly knowledgeable in a way that I don't feel all LCs are. Thanks to Kathleen, I am still breastfeeding my 17 month old and I truly attribute much of that to her help. Working with her feels like working with a mom friend that has your best interests at heart, but also knows what the heck she is doing. I recommend Kathleen to all my mom friends and she will be one of the first I check in with to book if and when I get pregnant again!

When my one month old son was gasping for air (March 2021) while he was nursing, I thought what the heck, and made an appt here. The nurse tried to diagnose my son with both a tongue and lip tie, as well as speaking unprofessionally about how "bad" his torticollis was to the person she was training. She took photos of the inside of my child's mouth with her cell phone. She said if I'd like to see a cranial physical therapist I should just go to the one attached to them in their building because Sentara has "such a long wait list". After leaving, I immediately called my son's pediatrician who got him in to say that he does not have a tongue or lip tie. I have also seen a specialist since this visit for my son's torticollis who said it was a very mild case and he recommends we just come back in 6-12 months to see how it progresses. Flash forward to last week (July 2021), I get a call about a mistake Tricare made with my insurance claim for the pump I received in Jan. Tidewater called me while I was at lunch with my husband saying I needed to pay for the breast pump out of pocket immediately over the phone. They said I had a separate insurance (which I don't) and I literally thought it was a scam as she wanted me to read my card information over the phone while I was at a crowded restaurant. The entire process has been frustrating, but there was never any mistake on my part with the billing. I got it figured out, but the people I had to speak to from this business spoke to me in a very rude, condescending, and unprofessional way throughout the entire experience. I would recommend you go somewhere else for your lactation needs.

I was in so much pain at that point, that I was ready to give up.
