I first worked with Sophia just a few days into my breastfeeding journey. The latch was extremely…read morepainful and I was worried about how much milk the baby was getting. Sophia came in with a wonderful & calm energy and she gave me lots of suggestions on how to make the latch much more comfortable. She designed us a plan to breastfeed more as that was my goal and she followed up with me. After a few weeks, I had no more challenges with the breastfeeding! Fast forward a few months when my daughter was no longer accepting the bottle (what a switch)! Sophia came back in again with her wonderful, calming energy and got my daughter to drink from the bottle and gave us pointers on how to do it ourselves. Now we are successfully able to switch between breast and bottle, no problem! Thank you Sophia, you have greatly aided my breastfeeding journey!

Sophia is hands down the best lactation consultant I've ever experienced/worked with. I wish I had…read moremet her when I had my first baby as she is currently helping me on my breastfeeding journey with my second child after my son's tongue and lip ties were released. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, patient, provides evidence-based recommendations and truly prioritizes mom's wellbeing as well as baby's. My husband was able to join us for part of her in-home visit and said he learned so much and we both felt so much more confident and empowered. She immediately sent a full plan via email reiterating the tips and info she shared during the visit for reference. Lactation support and education should be accessible to every mother when considering the immense benefits of breastfeeding - and Sophia made sure we had all the tools for success, making herself available at any point in the future for any other questions we had. On top of it all, she is a lovely human who is genuinely passionate about what she does and strongly advocates for mom and baby. Highly highly recommend!

We probably would have given up on our breastfeeding journey by now if it weren't for Bre and all of her help.

I got response that they put in a request for my refund but it's in process and they have no timeline when it will be sent.

TL;DR: Stop searching and book with Atlanta Lactation!! Lerae and Nakaiya completely transformed my…read morebreastfeeding journey and gave me confidence as a first-time mom. As a first-time mom, I thought breastfeeding would come naturally. My baby was born 3 weeks early, and we struggled from the start. By 3 weeks old, he was in the 2nd percentile for weight, and I wasn't sure I'd be able to build a milk supply. Working with Lerae and Nakaiya at Atlanta Lactation was a complete turning point. They created a personalized plan for us and met with me weekly to adjust it as needed. They were incredibly supportive, never pushy, and always encouraged me to follow what worked best for me and my baby while providing expert guidance. They also helped me so much with pumping--everything from creating a schedule to using wearable pumps and even figuring out milk storage for travel. That support made a huge difference in my confidence and day-to-day routine. After 5 weeks, my baby graduated at 8 weeks old, now thriving, chunky, and fully nourished on breastmilk. It truly felt like something I wouldn't be able to achieve before working with them. The care and compassion from this team is unmatched. I also love that they offer continued support through groups, classes, and guidance for transitions like returning to work or starting solids. I can't recommend Atlanta Lactation enough--this was one of the best decisions I've made for both me and my baby.

I can't find the words to describe how incredible Atlanta Lactation has been. As a first time mom,…read moreit feels so isolating and overwhelming-- never knowing if you're doing the right thing or not. The first few weeks postpartum are so stressful with so much emphasis on making sure your baby is eating enough. I couldn't have survived without Atlanta lactation. I loved working with Jessica who was so friendly, professional and a wealth of information! It is so clear she has a passion for helping moms and babies. Jessica and the whole team were amazing. They always answered my questions promptly--no matter how big or small. They followed up with me while I was in the hospital to see how things were going with breastfeeding. They answered several panicked calls from my husband when we were having issues with latching. Jessica worked with me to help me become comfortable breastfeeding addressing some limited mobility issues. She even dropped off different nipples to try out to help us workshop what would work for my baby. Even when Jessica wasn't available, the owner, Katherine, or another colleague would quickly respond. Truly truly amazing team, thank you all!

She gave me a list of doulas to reach out to and once I spoke with Kayla and Skyla, I felt that I would do myself a great disservice if I didn't go with them. They were available to answer all of my questions at anytime I would reach out and I always left the conversation feeling more educated. Even though I couldn't have my water birth due to Covid, they were still sure to keep me feeling at ease with going through the natural birth process. Skyla accompanied me in my birth and she was an absolutely wonderful support person. I know I probably hurt her ears with my screaming but she continued to help me push through the pain. I definitely recommend their services and will use them again in the future!

And educate you in areas you choose and also necessary aspects of becoming birth and becoming a parent. We also teach communication with your baby which is not a standard practice for a doula. But it is a standard practice for us :). We also specialize in aromatherapy. The use of essential oils both on the body and in the air to stimulate energy or calm and relax the birthing client dependent on the need. They are also used to manage pain. Crystal energy work is another option. All stones have their own vibrational energy. And by lining that vibration with the body's natural vibration correctly you can also calm the body. Lactation assistance is help in the art of breastfeeding. We assist you with proper latch and with information on resources as well as items that will help you get through it with the best results.

Don't go there! There're many Lactation consultancies in atlanta, and I would suggest new moms who…read moreare struggling with bf look elsewhere. Save yourself from the frustration and go find other location consultants who actually care. They came highly recommended by a friend, so I had high hopes of them being able to help me with my low supply issue. So I made an appointment with them and they sent one consultant over. I asked the consultant to check to see if I had clogged duct, she said "maybe". Then I asked her to show me how to do hand expression, she said "oh just go to this website and watch the video, they do it better". Seriously?? Then why do I pay you to come here?? So basically, she had wasted 2 hours of my life by telling me keep doing what I had been doing, and did not give me any suggestions to increase my supply. It also didn't help that she was kinda rude. I just had a c section 2 weeks ago, and the consultant was asking me to hold her heavy scale while she gets the booties off her shoes. This consultation was completely useless and I was very unsatisfied, so I called the company and asked to speak with the owner Sharon. She wasn't there when I called so I told the receptionist what happened and asked her to let Sharon know and give me a call. Well, Sharon was obviously too busy and said she would call at certain time then texted me saying she wasn't available. So eventually I was able to speak with her. She wasn't apologetic on the phone and kept on asking me questions of the visit that's irrelevant to how she's going to resolve the issue that I just wasted $220 and 2 hours of my life! Her tone was more like an interrogation than trying to resolve issue. She kept on saying that the consultant spent 2 hours at my house, so I need to pay her. But honestly, I'd rather she spends 5 min at my house and gives useful information that actually helps! Sharon didn't offer any of resolving this, not like " we'll send a different consultant over, or we'll refund you", none of that. She basically just said "too bad, you gotta pay us". As a new mom who's already struggling with bf, I don't need this extra stress in my life. So I just count the $$ I paid to them a loss. And I'm sharing my story to future moms so you don't have to go through the same frustration. STAY AWAY!!!

As a first time mom who was also planning a low/no intervention home birth, I was overwhelmed and…read moreclueless about where to start. I started interviewing doulas and midwives when I was only 3 months pregnant. After contacting Cynthya thru the Happiest Doulas website, I spoke with her and knew immediately that I needed the support of a doula from The Happiest Doulas as a part of my birth team. I requested a consult with Jeni Standard. Jeni's biography resonated with me the most because she had studied functional nutrition, and was certified in both nutrition and lactation. As a sufferer of Celiac Disease and someone who struggled with getting pregnant, I knew she would be a great resource and offer the support and understanding I needed. And I was so right - Jeni was the calm to my storm! She was there to comfort me after after some scary experiences. She also had great reading recommendations, as I was avidly reading all the books while pregnant. We had so many questions after our son was born and Jeni was so supportive and responsive. Because she is also a certified lactation consultant, she was able to support my decision to breastfeed, despite many obstacles. She followed up with me many times after our son was born, and I still feel like I could reach out to her just to catch up! Included in my birth package were 10 weeks of birth bootcamp classes. Our instructor, Alexa Gumm, was so wonderful! Her warmth and experience made our weekly Sunday classes something that my husband and I truly looked forward to. It turned out to be a great bonding experience for the two of us. We learned so much - from what to expect during labor (we got to watch videos) to info on breastfeeding. The classes were great for me, but mostly, I wanted my husband to really understand the process. He is not the type to read books, so a class was perfect. Alexa made sure the "dads" understood ways to support their partners during the birthing process. Alexa would have been so proud of my husband because he remembered everything she taught us during class and he was really supportive while I was in labor! She even followed up with me after our son was born and gave me some recommendations that were really helpful. I am so thankful Cynthya brought together the wonderful group called The Happiest Doulas! I will surely call on them again in the future when I plan my next birth. Cynthya was so kind and helpful as well throughout. I feel as if I gained 3 wonderful friends by the end of my pregnancy.

The resources Cynthya provided made me and my husband feel informed, extra prepared and confident as we navigated all the choices we needed to make. From the moment we met Jeni, she made us feel so at ease and excited about our labor and delivery journey and she created such a calming and sacred space in the hospital for us. Jeni advocated for us when we needed it and provided emotional and physical support that made me feel safe and empowered the entire time to have an unmedicated birth. Her post partum visit saved my breastfeeding journey where she gave us valuable advice and almost 5 months later, I am still happily breastfeeding. We couldn't be more grateful for Happiest Doulas!!

While waiting on the NP the conversations the ladies was having was mind blowing. I get you can talk about anything, but since it's a big open space with just foldables to separate the rooms you have to watch what you say... I had to wait over 15 min for the NP (I was the only one in the office) and they was out talking about they "sugar daddies ".... At this point I had to text my boyfriend that I'd never return back there. Pretty clean room... but professionalism is not key there.

She was with my Husband and I for every step of the way (triage to an hour or so after the baby arrived) and she respected/supported EVERY decision my Husband and I made. She never once appeared tired, impatient, or frustrated with the birthing progress. We had a completely natural birth (in a hospital setting) but having Shiphrah and my Husband there made me feel like I was in the comfort of my own home- despite all the unnecessary hospital chaos that was happening around me. I would definitely use her again! I still think about the back rubs, the counter pressure, hugs, breathing techniques, leg rubs, smiles, reassurance, and just calm spirit she maintained to help me through such a painful & beautiful time!
