We were referred to Cristy by our pediatrician to do a weighted feed and assess our latch with our three week old baby. She was so responsive, she came to see us the same day that I reached out! She was so helpful and reassuring during our home visit, and I really appreciated her multiple check-ins throughout the week later to make sure everything was going well. I would highly recommend Ladera Lactation for any new family looking for lactation support, she is an excellent resource and so sweet! Thank you, Cristy!!

I can only base this off of an initial consultation, but I had an excellent first experience with…read morethe Breastfeeding Center of OC! I met with Frida, and she was truly so helpful and supportive. She gave me her full attention during the consultation and was not only informative, but also very real and authentic. She gave me some helpful insight into how the breastfeeding process typically goes and also provided some hands on teaching moments to help me feel more prepared. Prior to visiting the BF Center, I'd taken a couple of breastfeeding courses online; but there is something about meeting with someone 1:1 (especially someone as kind and supportive as Frida) that really helped set my mind at ease. I'm looking forward to continuing to meet with her postpartum!

The Mommy Center has been such a wonderful experience for both me and my daughter. Michelle and her…read moreteam have created such a fun, welcoming, and judgment-free space where moms and their little ones can connect, play, and feel supported. I've taken two of their mommy-and-baby class series, and I loved both of them. Each series includes special touches like each week is a different topica mini photoshoot, a swim party, and so much more, which makes it absolutely worth every penny. Carmen, who helped lead the group, is amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always makes me feel heard. She gives thoughtful advice and truly cares about the moms and babies she works with. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. I've also attended several music classes with Michelle, and those have been some of my favorites. My daughter absolutely loves music time, and Michelle does such a great job keeping the kids engaged and entertained. We truly love The Mommy Center and are so grateful for everything they offer!!

I met Ashley at a moms' event inside the Mommy & Me Center, in the same building where she's…read morelocated, and from the very beginning, I could tell she was special. Her warmth and confidence in her passion shine through instantly. I had heard her name mentioned so many times during my pregnancy, so I was thrilled to finally meet her and book an appointment. Ashley provided me and my husband with thorough care--not only preparing us before our baby arrived but also supporting both my husband and I plus our little one afterward. As a first-time mom, I'm incredibly grateful for her guidance. Breastfeeding felt overwhelming at first, but Ashley made the process clear, supportive, and manageable. I truly can't recommend her enough.

Ariana was recommended to me from a list of local IBCLC's. My daughter was a 4 month old chronic…read morebottle refuser and after seeing/talking to tons of lactation consultants and OT's we were losing hope and very frustrated. Unfortunately Ariana was no longer local to my area but regardless she responded promptly and offered a virtual consult. The virtual consult was so helpful. Ariana suspected my daughter wasn't lateralizing her tongue effectively enough causing the bottle refusal. She worked with us on exercises we could try and even referred us to a local chiropractor. After our consult Ariana followed up with an email of suggestions and tools which has been immensely helpful. Ariana has been so patient, answering every question thoroughly. We haven't been able to get my daughter back on a bottle but she is now taking a straw cup at 21 weeks old and I solely attribute that to Ariana's help. We can now rest easy knowing my daughter will be nourished while I'm away at work. I whole heartedly recommend Ariana to anyone. She is a god send.

She gave lot of amazing detailed information that no one else had given me, really gave me hope and trust that the work we are putting in is worth it. She saved my sanity and I will continue to use her during my feeding journey with my son until we feel confident we know what we are doing!

Soon after she went on medication for reflux our nursing journey really began to improve. Dawnita always had great advice, she dove into the numbers with me and as a type A mom I really appreciated it. She always equipped me with what to say to our pediatrician and together we really helped my baby thrive. I saw Dawnita both at my home and her clinic a few times and both experiences were great her scheduler Shawna was also extremely responsive and helpful. I didn't have great experiences with the LC at the hospital and clinic, I was so nervous meeting Dawnita but she instantly put me at ease and offered great advice. I can't recommend Dawnita enough!

Especially recovering postpartum, her support was so reassuring when you feel like you cannot feed your baby! A few weeks later, we are back to almost exclusively breastfeeding. We are so grateful to have found Dawnita!

I could not have been more wrong. I was completely blown away by how much I learned, used, and genuinely needed. Each week brought in a different expert, and the range of knowledge was incredible. Everything from marriage and relationship tips to improve the flow of your household, to managing toddler behavior, baby and toddler sleep, even a professional that helped me identify diastasis recti. There was something valuable in every single session, no matter how many kids you already have at home. And then there's the community you build. Having a weekly group of intelligent, supportive women to lean on during one of the most overwhelming seasons of life was invaluable. Its the kind of thing you don't know you need until you experience it. Becca, our group leader and the owner, made all the difference in our group. She's warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly has an amazing network of resources, because every week felt exactly like what we needed. Highly, highly recommend to every mom, no matter how many babies you've already had. Thank you Becca and NMS Team! Appreciate you all so much.

We recently completed a week of intensive therapy with OTEIM.For nearly two years, I researched…read moredifferent therapy options and even spoke to two other facilities that offered similar programs. But it wasn't until I had a conversation with Erinn that I felt a deep sense of clarity. After praying about it, I knew in my heart that OTEIM was the place we needed to invest our time, energy, and resources. From the very beginning, the staff at OTEIM--Jillian, Erinn, Mr. Alan, and every single intern and team member--showed us what it means to be truly dedicated. They are incredibly knowledgeable, but beyond that, their hearts are fully in it. The love, patience, and genuine care they show to each child is something you can't teach--it's just who they are. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in. The space is thoughtfully laid out, calming, and child-centered. And perhaps most importantly, our child felt safe, seen, and comfortable--which, as any parent knows, is everything. We felt that comfort too. It's not just therapy here--it's a full-circle support system that honors both the child and the family. We only did one week of intensive therapy, but I truly wish we could have done more. God willing, we will be able to return for additional intensives in the future. If you're considering intensive therapy, give OTEIM a try. There is so much intentionality, love, and professionalism here. They're not just doing a job
