I cannot say enough about Karissa. Having had problems breast feeding with my first child, I was…read moreprepared to have issues with my second, but wow, it was so much worse! I reached out to multiple lactation consultants as I was desperate to continue breastfeeding my daughter, and Karissa was a godsend! She not only answered my desperate call on a weekend, she was in constant contact to ensure things were going appropriately. And when they didn't, she made sure she did all she could to get us on the right track. This meant that she texted me, emailed me as well as made additional home visits to follow-up. She realized I needed to go by to have an exam and imaging by my OB as well as recognizing a previously undiagnosed tongue-tie in my daughter. As a result, the speech therapist she referred by daughter to was also amazing (as in, spent over an hour at each visit discussing diagnosis and treatment options). Today, my daughter is 7 months old and is happily breast feeding. I have been able to build up a supply and have done so without pain or complications. It is truly a miracle that both of us are where we are today, and I truly owe all of this to having been treated by Karissa.

I appreciated the support across my pregnancy - 2 in home prep visits, emails with recommendations based on the week of pregnancy, and regular text communication - as well as the invaluable support during labor and birth.

I wish I would have taken advantage of the yoga classes, but it didn't work out in my schedule. Katie ended up in the birth room with us. She was such a great comfort and aide, she even took some pictures with my phone for me so we could remember the moments. Highly recommend!!

I can't recommend Victoria highly enough for both lactation and postpartum support. As a postpartum…read moredoula, she is extremely communicative and prompt. She's warm and fun, and I had no trouble trusting her with my brand new baby because she is such an obvious professional. She advised us on baby care, gear, and cloth diapering and cooked some really wonderful meals. I think the best part of having a postpartum doula in to help after you have a baby (as opposed to family) is that they know TONS about newborns and recovering postpartum, but they aren't attached to their opinions like your mother-in-law would be. Victoria is like your super-knowledgeable yet judgement-free BFF. In terms of breastfeeding support, Victoria is not a militant, exclusive breastfeeding only type lactation consultant (like some you might have met). Her goal is to support you in reaching your breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be. As a result, she really listened to me and asked intuitive questions to discern what was and wasn't working as I tried to breastfeed my first baby. As she helped me solve early breastfeeding struggles and new ones emerged, she offered concrete strategies that were tailored to my specific issues (big baby, cracked nipples, oversupply). She empowered and guided me to find the latch that worked best for me and my baby. I came out of that really tough first month or so with way more confidence that I had going in. My baby and I continue to have a great breastfeeding relationship, and I credit that to Victoria.

I took a lactation class with her, got in-hospital lactation support right after the birth, and she worked with me for weeks afterward as I got the hang of nursing my baby. During the hectic first weeks of motherhood, I had a lot of anxiety around breastfeeding. Thanks to Victoria, I gained confidence in myself and my body's ability to produce milk for my baby *and* practical skills. Since breastfeeding is a journey, not a destination, she's my #1 resource should any other lactation challenges come up!

Kyrsten is the owner and pelvic floor therapist at this clinic. She is an experienced and…read morecertified occupational therapist who was previously working in acute care/ICU at Duke. She provides a very warm, welcoming, comfortable, and nurturing environment. On top of being a pelvic floor therapist she is a postpartum corrective exercise specialist and has a wealth of knowledge and experience on perinatal pelvic floor disorders, and C-section recovery and scar treatment. The clinic itself is nestled in Hillsborough and shares a building with a dental office. It has good parking with a small lot outside. The facility is extremely clean. Kyrsten provides a lot of free stuff such as her 0-6 month postpartum guide, and has an array of perinatal samples to try in her office (Hurraw lip balm/certified organic vulvar cream/stretch mark creams/lubrications etc.) What I like about this business is that Kyrsten not only provides 1:1 patient care, but has also created an inclusive community with the Hillsborough/Chapel Hill/Mebane/Burlington moms called Nurturing Moms. She is out in the community providing patient education courses at a local yoga studio on top of free hang out events that moms can bring her kids to.

I think it might be helping reduce sore muscles, I just can't tell yet ( sore since last weekend workouts;) I read some research in Cryotherapy last night...it's said to likely burn up to 800 calories after one 3 min session due to the blood vessels rushing from the protected core to all the areas once you're out.
