Barbara is my lactation angel. She is calm, patient, personable, and very knowledgeable in her field. As a first time mom, I struggled with my milk supply and had no idea what I was doing. There were times I had a mental breakdown and Barbara was always supportive and so easy to contact, even in the wee hours in the morning and when she is off. My breastfeeding journey was tough but thanks to her, I am now fully breastfeeding my babe and going strong at 7 months! She has also helped me gain confidence. Barbara is such a blessing to nursing mamas like me and I am forever indebted to her.

Barbara saved my breastfeeding journey! My baby and I struggled with so much pain, frustration, and many tears. She explained everything so well and really helped me become more confident in positioning my baby for feedings. I appreciate her constant support and dedication to her patients. Thank you!!

Barbara has been such an asset in my motherhood journey. She initially helped guide me when my first son dropped too much weight at his first apt. She guided me with a loving and patient heart and gave me the tools to continue to breastfeed for over 6 months. Helping me to navigate feelings of failure and accomplishment along the way. She subsequently helped with each one of my children, continuing to lead with a wealth of knowledge and caring heart. We had 4 under 4 and she was pivotal in making sure each one nursed for 6-12m, including pumping and guiding me through that process as well. I have recommended her to all my friends and can’t speak enough praise for her compassionate heart and navigating new mom feeding difficulties.
