The first week with our daughter was great, but the second week was when it all got really hard. I…read morehad cracks on both nipples (more of a laceration on left) and felt as though I was breastfeeding endlessly. I desperately wanted full time nursing to work with her, as it was 50/50 nurse and bottle feed with my first - so, when she cried, I nursed. I very quickly knew something wasn't right. Between the pain (I wanted to puke every time she latched), the exhaustion from tireless nights of waking every 1-2 hours as well as the fact that she couldn't even drink from a bottle I did the only thing that made sense: a google search of "lactation consultants in Goodyear" and found Summer. I kicked the idea around for a day or two thinking "we could do this on our own" or "she will figure it out" to ultimately wish I had called the day I found her! Summer helped us through all of our challenges and concerns and brought it to our attention that our daughter had a tongue and lip tie. We quickly followed all of her recommendations (body work, then tongue and lip release, then more body work) and have been the happiest household ever since. She was an absolute beacon of hope and ray of sunshine through a very difficult time. I am so grateful my desperate google search brought me her and all of the wonderful professionals she surrounds herself with! *** Fast forward 4 months... things were wonderful until about a week ago. I was having some Vasospasm's and discoloration of my nipple while pumping. I reached out to Summer once again (because I still did not want this breastfeeding journey to end) and she was able to ease my mind and provided physical relief ONCE AGAIN!!!! She came over the same day for a new consultation and recognized that a minor change on flange style and size was likely the solution. She took her time helping me try different kinds of flanges and confirming I was pumping properly. I'm back on my way to repair physically and can get through my pump sessions much more comfortably! Summer is truly amazing and I'm so grateful I can continue feeding my daughter!! I would have quit at week 3 PP, but I'm so glad I made a simple call instead!!

I was FINALLY able to get my baby to nurse at home after seeing her and was beyond elated as I had not once been successful at home before this. She gave less complicated techniques that worked for me and she has a messaging system that I have used - she's so responsive. The office is also so cute and clean! I have an appointment with a different consultant next week that will visit our home. Also - Erin did not say the only way to latch was to get a tongue tie procedure like others. While we are open to getting the procedure, she wasn't so pushy about it and gave us lots of supplemental information. Thank you, Erin!

I had needed to supplement with formula and was still trying to breastfeed as much as possible but it was so hard knowing if my baby was getting enough milk and on one side it didn't seem like he was latching very well. Lori showed me correct positioning for me and the baby in order to get a better latch. I can definitely tell a difference in how my baby is feeding and he seems much more content during and after the feedings. It's still a work in progress but each day gets a little easier and it's such a relief!

She has been there for all of my many questions, and our baby is a fantastic sleeper, since about 6 weeks old. It completely changed our experience with our first baby for all the better.

She makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk into her office. My own personal experience started when Jacqueline was able to identify a tongue, lip and buccal ties on my 2 week old son. She provided me with a plan, exercises, pain protocols and multiple doctor recommendations to give me everything I needed to support my son. For a sleep deprived mama, it was so helpful! She gave me a detailed write up of our visit which was easy to follow. Because of Jacqueline's attention to detail, I was able to incorporate bodywork prior to the revision, feel confident following a homeopathic healing and pain protocol and confidently execute all the exercises and stretches following the revision. She was always available to ease my mind following the procedure as well. I believe the success of revisions rests heavily on the parents shoulders. You have to do it all. You need the right team of 3- a great IBCLC, a knowledgeable chiropractor to do bodywork and someone to do the revision itself. You also need to follow through with follow up appointments and commit to doing ALL the exercises and stretches. Jacqueline is a great team lead to help you manage it all! Not only is Jacqueline great, scheduling is easy, the location is convenient (with easy parking) and her office is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend her!

But most of all she gave me so much confidence. I'm so thankful for the amount of times she paused to tell me, "Wow. You are such a good mom."
