From the very beginning of our breastfeeding journey, I felt overwhelmed, uncertain, and honestly ready to give up, but Terry changed everything. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but she brings so much warmth, empathy, and encouragement to every session. She met me exactly where I was, never made me feel judged, and gave me practical, realistic steps that actually worked. Every time I talked with her, I walked away feeling supported, confident, and hopeful again. Terry didn't just help me learn how to breastfeed, she helped me believe I could do it. I truly wouldn't be where I am today without her. My baby and I are thriving thanks to her guidance and care. If you're even thinking about getting help with breastfeeding, pumping, or anything lactation-related, don't hesitate. Terry is absolutely the best there is.

Alicia visited our family after three weeks of our baby being born. With our little boy being a…read moremonth premature, our doctor recommended formula until we had weight gain. Although I was not feeding him, my milk came in after three days of pumping. After the 2 week appointment, the doctor said he was growing well and that I could start solely breastfeeding. Although I tried over and over, I kept having my baby fall asleep mid-feed. He would wake up again within an hour because he was hungry. Additionally, I started feeling a pinching pain on the side of my body as I fed him. Trying to address the abnormal situation, we found the Lactation Consultant contact information in our Hospital packet and called the nearest one to us. Alicia responded right away and was very helpful from the beginning. On her first visit, Alicia quickly showed her expertise and professionalism - and we were happy that she adhered to strict COVID-19 protocols while in our home. She also stressed the importance of getting my husband involved to support me and the baby through the process. She helped us understand whether our baby was eating or not, and also gave us some techniques to get the baby to get a full feed (lots of skin to skin contact). Additionally, she did identify both a tongue and lip tie on our boy, and sent us to a wonderful pediatric dentist in the South Bay. A day after leaving, she continued to follow up and stayed invested in making sure that we made progress. The next day, although it was rough, she and I were texting as I tried to feed the baby - and eventually ended up Facetiming so that we could get direct support. Although I was stressed, her availability and willingness to continue helping was so reassuring! A week later, after addressing the tongue tie, we scheduled a follow-up appointment with her so that she could assess the baby's feeding now that he had a "new" tongue. And this appointment was even more helpful! Honestly, Alicia helped turn my breastfeeding journey around and I am so grateful that we were able to work with her. It has now been 3 months since she helped us, and I am currently solely breastfeeding. I love every second of it and I don't take it for granted when I look at my little babies face each feed.

From the very first message, Lisa was incredibly responsive and when I spontaneously asked if my neighbor could join, she made it happen super easily. Lisa came to our home to do the course, which made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. The course itself was hands-on, thorough, and genuinely confidence-building. I walked away feeling truly prepared, not just for starting solids with my baby, but for handling emergencies calmly if they ever arise. You can tell Lisa doesn't just teach this material, she really cares about it and she cares about the people she works with. This was actually my second time working with Lisa. I first met her as a lactation consultant and both experiences have been equally wonderful. She brings the same warmth, expertise, and dedication every time. Thank you, Lisa!

I emailed Lisa regarding her availability and pre-checked with The Lactation Network, the company she contracts with, to make sure everything was good to go with my insurance. I heard back within 24 hours from both TLN and Lisa; we were able to set up a home visit appointment within the week. Lisa was extremely friendly and professional during our sessions. She helped measure me for new pump flanges, made suggestions for positioning comfort, and observed my son feeding to make a diagnosis regarding potential latch issues. She offered a number of oral exercises to help my son's latch and provided an EXTREMELY THOROUGH folder with pictures and descriptions of the exercises so I was not relying solely on memory. The folder also had a ton of other useful info from breastfeeding tips and tricks to local professionals, including pediatric dentists and OTs. Lisa also provided a comprehensive write up for my son's pediatrician with her observations and recommendations. Like the folder she provided, it was extremely thorough and detailed. Her professionalism and attention to detail is next level and she is incredibly nice and easy to talk to. I never felt judged or unheard. We scheduled a follow-up in-home appointment which was just as helpful as the first session. A few weeks later Lisa, followed up by email to check-in to make sure my son and I were doing well. She cares about her patients and I know that I can reach out if we run into any other issues. If you are struggling with breastfeeding or latch trouble contact Lisa! She's wonderful!

A huge chuck of cash up front as retainer is a little iffy you have to think about it Because there is no garentee in anything at all if she be a good fit .... Or her partner is... once you pay half the money upfront weather you like her or not This is it . You won't get your money back So you take your risk .... I think anything more than 2000$ as retainer fee especially not with agency is scammy to me unless you been introduce n recommended by family friends n you know them etc .... Not saying they scam you just that if it turnout not being a great fit there is no refund So need to double think before anything ....

She has the rare gift of balancing a reassuring confidence with a nurturing and calming presence. (She also has a great sense of humor, which can be a welcome breath of fresh air when you're exhausted!) As a first-time dad, I especially appreciated the reassurance and guidance she brought into our home during those early weeks. Our son felt instantly comfortable with her, and she even coined a nickname for him that has stuck to this day! Through her guidance, support, and newborn care education, she truly helped us get off to the best possible start as new parents, and we're hugely grateful for her. After the first month of working with her, we decided to continue with a series of sleep coaching sessions. When she returned after a couple of months away, it felt like no time had passed -- our son definitely remembered her. Just two weeks in, and our 3-month-old is already sleeping 8 hours. It honestly feels like a miracle. Thank you so much, Veronica -- we truly appreciate your care, your guidance, and the confidence you brought into our home during such an important time. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for exceptional postpartum support, newborn care education, guidance for new dads, or sleep coaching -- she truly makes a difference.

Linda was able to come out asap and she very much helped me! We realized he did better on a nipple shield and have been using one the last two weeks. He's been getting stronger and able to breast feed no problem. During our first session, she was able to confirm that my insurance would cover a postpartum Doula. So I get 11 sessions through Kaiser, which has been wonderful! So Linda comes to my house once or twice a week to help me in my recovery and breast-feeding journey. It has been really nice to have the support and the help. She's really been great! We will be working on getting him off the nipple sheilds, hopefully in the next few weeks. But having the help at home has really been great as well as the lactation support. I would definitely recommend calling her and seeing if you were insurance will cover visits from her.
