Additionally I was challenged with more misinformation about breastfeeding my baby. Thanks to the help of yelpers, I found Christina! She made an appointment with me as soon as possible and brought her scale. My baby was very fussy and Christina helped me to understand that sometimes it's not soothing techniques and maybe it's an underlying issue that's going on that was causing the fussiness. Furthermore she helped me understand how lactation works and has helped me gained more control over my milk supply. I got a lot of my sanity back once I was able to have a more balanced lifestyle while being able to feed my baby. Christina is so sweet. She really cares about moms and is there to talk to in case we just need someone to talk to. She is always open and willing to have a direct conversation without the fluff. I really appreciate finding her and being able to work with her.

Dr. Richard is thorough in the examination and truly addresses your concerns.

From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by Ashley's beautiful smile. It's so comforting to be greeted by such a kind and warm person--my baby immediately feels that positive energy. Then there's Doctor Koleen, who has such a fun, intuitive, and genuinely caring personality. My baby always enjoyed her gentle stretches, and Doctor Koleen reassured me that everything was okay while also teaching me helpful techniques to reduce the clicking. Since then, we've continued to see her through every important milestone--crawling, walking, and beyond. I truly enjoy our visits so much that even when there's no specific reason, I still want to go! In fact, I'll soon be making an appointment with her husband, Richard, for myself. Breastfeeding has caused quite a bit of tightness and discomfort in my shoulders, and I trust their care completely. Thank you, Doctor Koleen, for being so genuine, kind, and attentive from the very first day we met you. Thank you for recognizing my dedication as a mom and for your kind words--they truly mean so much to me. God bless you, your family, and your business. We love you

If I could give Auntie Evonne more than five stars, I would. She has been such an incredibly…read morespecial part of our family's journey, supporting me through breastfeeding both of my babies, and I truly cannot put into words how grateful we are for her. With my first baby, I was stepping into motherhood and breastfeeding for the very first time, and Evonne walked alongside me through that entire journey. She didn't simply tell me what to do. She taught me, encouraged me, reassured me, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience into something genuinely beautiful. She came to our home, made herself readily available when we needed her, and cared for me with so much warmth and love that she quickly became "Auntie Evonne" to our family. What makes her even more extraordinary is that her support extends far beyond lactation. She understood that breastfeeding isn't just about mom and baby. It involves the whole family. She took the time to teach my husband how he could support me and be an active part of our breastfeeding journey, which meant so much to both of us. She also has an incredible understanding of babies' bodies. Both of my children experienced body tension, and Evonne was able to identify areas that needed attention and work with them so gently. With my baby girl, we noticed that she strongly favored one side and was beginning to show signs of torticollis. Evonne knew exactly which areas and muscles needed some extra love and tenderly worked with her. Every single time Auntie Evonne left our home, I could see and feel a difference in my baby's body. She was more relaxed, more comfortable, and simply seemed to feel better. And somehow, that's still only a fraction of what she has done for us. For each baby, Evonne took the time to help me figure out which breast pump worked best for my body, properly size my flanges, and adjust our approach based on what that particular baby and that particular breastfeeding journey needed. She has helped us with babywearing and carriers, teething, bodywork, chiropractic resources, and so many of the little questions that inevitably come with having a baby. Her knowledge is incredible, and her network of trusted baby and postpartum professionals is extensive. If she doesn't personally provide something, chances are she knows exactly who to call. But what I love most about Evonne isn't something you can learn from a textbook or certification. She genuinely loves and cares for the families she works with. You feel it when she's in your home. You feel it in the way she handles your baby, the way she listens to a worried mom, the way she includes your partner, and the way she celebrates the little victories with you. Breastfeeding can be emotional, vulnerable, exhausting, beautiful, and sometimes incredibly hard. Having someone like Evonne beside me changed my experience of it. She didn't just help me solve lactation problems. She helped me feel confident and supported as a mother. There is a reason we call her Auntie Evonne. She came into our lives as our lactation consultant and became someone our family absolutely adores. We recommend her to practically every expecting and new parent we meet, and we will continue to do so. If you have the opportunity to have Evonne support your family, take it. She is truly one of a kind. Auntie Evonne, you ROCK. We love you, and thank you for loving and caring for our babies and their mama so incredibly well.

Evonne was so helpful online and was able to troubleshoot and help me remotely! It was really impressive and surprising to me just from seeing things through video, she was able to guide me through some things. That's how expert she is! When I met her in person, she was able to evaluate any issues physically and helped me be able to latch better through in-person instruction. I was so in awe of how she was able to maneuver my newborn and she has such a calming presence for both new moms and babies. I highly recommend Evonne and her services. She is extremely professional, helpful, experienced, and has such a warm demeanor -- which is so welcome during this potentially fraught time for a new mom. I will say that breastfeeding is no longer daunting to me after working with her.

Dr. Christine Nguyen is a godsend. I was in contact with her from the moment I was pregnant and she…read moreassembled an entire team for me to work with. Elena Vogel was my lactation consultant, Dr. Kolleen Gregory was our infant chiropractor, and Dr. Choi is currently our pediatric dentist. Dr. Nguyen evaluated Adam the morning after I gave birth. He wasn't able to latch all night so she came to the hospital and said he had a tie. I was adamant about breastfeeding so after we were cleared by our doctors, we checked out on the second day and went straight to our appointment with Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Choi. Dr. Choi, who did the laser treatment on his tie actually found that it was much tighter than they originally thought, so I'm thankful I did it. It was a few seconds and it was done. Adam cried and truthfully screamed a bit, but stopped the second it was done. He had already settled down by the time he was back in my arms and we went home. The post-op care was heavily stressed by Dr. Nguyen. She was very thorough and careful when explaining how to do his oral stretches. She emphasized that the post-op care wasn't just his mouth, but his whole body. She was so incredibly knowledgeable on how the body functions as a whole and how it all ties together, so the movement and stretching of his mouth and entire body is all important. I'll be honest and say that I didn't want to do any of it because my cooter was healing and I was still in pain from just coming home from giving birth. It was all very fresh. But I looked at my baby and decided I'm his mom and this is my responsibility. Every single day for the next 3 months, I set aside the bare minimum of 5 minutes but realistically it took 15 minutes to do thorough movement for my son. I put in the work. I took videos and sent them to Dr. Nguyen and she would give me feedback. Call me crazy but my son was and is an "easy" baby. Be it a blessing of luck with a combination of effort and work, I see results. He eats a variety of foods, hitting all his milestones, and developing beautifully. I can't wait to have another baby lol.

Would I recommend Brandi Jordan as a sleep consultant? Not unless you're a celebrity or have…read morethousands of dollars to waste. For the average parent, you'll likely spend thousands of dollars only to end up back where you started--with vague, generic advice you could easily find online and some added reassurance. Brandi's approach offers little to no long-term guidance. She works on a day-by-day basis without providing written materials or a structured plan to follow, which makes it nearly impossible to build consistency once the sessions end. It feels like being handed a toolkit for a toy bike when you're trying to fix a kitchen sink, completely mismatched and ultimately unhelpful. Throughout our experience, she asked for detailed information about our child's sleep schedule, feeding patterns, and behaviors, which was time-consuming to document. Yet, those details seemed disregarded, as the feedback almost always boiled down to a generic "you'll have to let the baby cry," delivered in a reassuring but repetitive way. Months later, we're still struggling to get our child to sleep independently. We received no follow-up documents, no lasting framework, and no practical tools to help us move forward. After spending over $1,000, we were left feeling misled, frustrated, and uncertain about what to do next. If you're considering hiring Brandi, I urge you to think carefully. Save your time, energy, and resources. Look for a consultant who offers structured support, written guidance, and consistent follow-through; not someone whose attention is divided elsewhere. Parents deserve more than being treated like another number in the queue. Updated response to Brandi... I actually worked with you in April 2025, and communication stopped soon after the contract period ended. We followed your instructions exactly as outlined. Not every child responds the same way, and sometimes a more individualized approach is necessary, but it became clear you didn't have the time or availability to provide that level of support.

TW: postpartum depression, prematurity, self-harm…read more There's a reason there are very few reviews more recent than 2021, and they are negative. We contracted Brandi Jordan as a sleep consultant in June 2025 when we were in a truly desperate situation; I was hallucinating from sleep deprivation and suffering terrible postpartum depression. In hindsight, I figure that's how we fell for this. We paid over $1500 and here's what we got: a single one hour Zoom, a single 30 minute phone call about a week later (for which she was 20 minutes late), and 30-40 days of "text support," though there were several instances where she did not respond for three days despite our texts. I felt "left on read." To be fair to her, it was in our contract that this is what we could get: a one hour zoom, up to 3 follow-up calls and 30 days of text support. When I signed the contract, I did think this was sort of minimal, but I was desperate and figured "hey, maybe she can work magic." At our initial Zoom call, she said she had "never met a baby that couldn't sleep through the night after 2-3 weeks, max," so we were thrilled and hopeful! Now I know why this is true; she doesn't actually *meet* the babies- It's all virtual! She absolutely cannot work magic; please don't fall for this marketing that preys on desperate parents like we did. I feel stupid for having believed her. As other reviews have said, there is no individual tailoring, and the method she uses is essentially soft Ferberizing: letting the baby cry and cry with intermittent check-ins that get progressively longer. This was torture for all of us. Our baby was born extremely prematurely at 26 weeks and spent nearly 3 months in the NICU before coming home on oxygen. We did this contract when she was about 9 months old (6 months adjusted). We were obviously all still traumatized, and she had a lot of difficulty self-soothing at all. There was no troubleshooting about what how her and our individual situation might be contributing to sleep issues. Listening to her cry for 90 minutes in the middle of the night resulted in my self-harming several times (again, I had bad PPD). We did it though, because Brandi told us to. How it would work is that every morning we would text Brandi how the night went, and she would maybe respond that day saying something like "okay let's do that again" or "let's push this feed back 15 minutes" or something. A lot of the time she just wouldn't respond. I gave two stars because after the 30-40 days, our baby was sleeping a bit better than at the beginning (only 2-4 wakeups a night instead of 10). Additionally, this is way too expensive for such minimal support. You can find all this information online (Ferber with intermittent check-ins and dream feeds). Maybe if you have a normal or semi-easy baby this would work, but otherwise only time will help. Our baby is now 1 and wakes up about once a night every other night; only time got us here.
