I highly recommend the Butterfly center. Rina is very knowledgeable, caring, patient, and friendly. These classes have helped my son become more social and these have also helped ME be better prepared as a new mom. It can be isolating staying at home taking care of a little one (and quite scary not knowing what to do as they grow). These classes have given me peace of mind and both my son and I get a lot from them. It also offers and opportunity to see other moms and learn from each other's experiences. Highly recommend!

Those early postpartum months can feel so overwhelming, and having a safe space with other moms in the same stages every week made such a difference. I loved it so much that I went on to the Rising Toddler class. My baby loves NMS, too. Watching the babies interact, learn, and grow together each week was genuinely so sweet, and I really think it's been good for him to be around other babies as well. I'd highly recommend NMS Westlake Village! We'll definitely be back for future classes.

Our neighbor recommended Ashley to us, and every time we see her we thank her for the connection! We loved how Ashley got to know us and our daughter, and made a tailored, custom sleep plan that addressed the goals we had and where we were at with sleep. We have learned a lot - Ashley gave us the tools we needed to feel like empowered parents!

She's also very responsive and provides good communication via text, which is amazing when you always have a sleeping newborn in your arms! I've been working with Alice for two months now and she conveniently comes to my home. The first visit was urgent and I was able to see her in less than 24 hours of getting connected to her--I was in so much pain and she helped me establish a good latch with my newborn, which set us up for success. During our other visits, Alice has helped me with a large range of issues like managing oversupply, using the bottle, pump, etc. While the visits have been covered by insurance, she really goes above and beyond by remaining accessible to answer questions as needed. Her communication and kindness really stand out! As a first time mom, I didn't realize how hard breastfeeding would be and how many issues would pop up. It's been very reassuring to have Alice as a resource.

I met Debbie Rovin at one of the lowest points in my journey. Breastfeeding had always been…read moresomething I dreamed of, but after a 28-hour labor and 3-hour delivery, things weren't going how I imagined. My baby was having trouble latching, I was in so much pain, my nipples were bleeding, I was beyond exhausted, and honestly, I just felt completely defeated. Then I met Debbie -- and she changed everything. I was able to pump a little to get my baby through the night, and the next morning, I met with her. She is seriously the kindest, most genuine person. She made me feel seen, heard, and supported. She didn't rush me, answered every question, and stayed until I felt confident enough to latch him on my own. Now here we are, five months later -- I'm exclusively breastfeeding and have over 300 oz of frozen milk. Something that once felt impossible is now our reality, and it's all thanks to Debbie. I'm forever grateful for her.

She has such a calming aura about her and she is so patient! I think I called her back to my room maybe 10 times during my short day at the hospital. She was never frustrated with me she made jokes and assured me that by the time I left I would be able to get my baby to latch. We continue our relationship after I left the hospital and she continued to give me quality advice never pressured me to continue breast-feeding and just wanted what's best for me! Because of this woman I made it a full year with breast-feeding and supplementing because I did not make enough milk and I truly believe it is all because of Deborah! If you were looking for an amazing lactation consultant you literally don't have to look any further she has a magic about her that you feel as soon as she walks in the room! Deborah thank you for all you do not just for me but for everyone around you you are amazing!
