Great flexibility with scheduling and meeting location, and very friendly! Emily has a lot of knowledge and was great at adapting to our unique situation and providing the kind of support we needed. I liked that the LCs weren’t pushy or judgy in any way. I would recommend Good Life Lactation to anyone just starting out or struggling to feed their baby.

Emily is truly the best. Reflecting back on this past year, I can confidentially say that Emily made the single biggest impact on my son’s first year of life even though we only had a handful of sessions together.<br><br>We sought lactation support when my son was a week old because I knew something wasn’t right and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. I didn’t feel like I got a ton of support from lactation at the hospital I gave birth at and the concerns I brought up to doctors at the hospital and pediatrician where minimized because we had a somewhat difficult birthing experience.<br><br>I filled out the intake/pre appointment form and at our first meeting with Emily, it was very clear she had spent time reading it and took time to note my concerns. We were able to hit the ground running because of that. She was the first medical professional to really look at my son’s skull- the thing I was most concerned about- and tell me she saw what I was talking about. She validated my concerns with his skull “appearance”. I almost cried with gratitude because isn’t every mom supposed to think their baby is perfect? She was the first medical professional who made me feel like my concerns were valid, my intuition was right and that I wasn’t just a bad mom who thought her baby looked weird.<br><br>Because of her validation and advice on what to talk to our pediatrician about, we were able to get a referral to Children’s Mercy which sent us down the whole process of diagnosis and ended up needing two neurosurgeries and helmet therapy to address a fused suture in my son’s skull.<br><br>Through the diagnosis process, Emily supported our breastfeeding journey that was complicated by my son’s condition. She helped me figure out pumping and I was able to successfully exclusively pump for over nine months! It obviously was not what I had envisioned for our breastfeeding journey, but because of my son’s condition it was the best, most sustainable option for my family. Emily worked with us to figure that out and I truly am so thankful I was able to provide my son breastmilk as he went through his surgeries.<br><br>Without Emily, I know we would not have advocated for our son that early and he would not have been diagnosed until much later, when the options available are a lot more invasive and difficult. His condition can cause developmental delays because of pressure on the skull, which they alleviated when he was 6 weeks old. Because of the early intervention we had available to us, my son is thriving. Genuinely so thankful. For a vulnerable first time mom with concerns, Emily was the best person to support my family!

I had an in home visit when my daughter was 3 weeks old with Audrey and she was absolutely amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and she’s incredibly knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions, set up a plan for us, and sent tons of resources for me to refer back to. It was so individualized and helped set me up for success with breastfeeding! I definitely recommend Good Life Lactation and was so happy with the help we received from Audrey!

Audrey has been wonderful assisting me with my breastfeeding journey. It was so helpful having someone be able to come to my home and assist me. She is also very responsive to texts and I appreciate that. I definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful experience with Audrey and was so thankful she came to our house, making life postpartum with a newborn so much easier! Our visits felt relaxed and always supportive in our breastfeeding journey! I would definitely recommend Good Life Lacation to any momma friends in need!

Audrey was very knowledgable and personable. I was very grateful for her insight and suggestions on how to improve my daughter's latch and best suggestions for triple feeding until we had a better handle on things.

Audrey came out to assist me and my newborn with his latch and our feeding schedule! She did a weighted feed and gave me lots of positioning ideas! After she left, I felt much more confident in breastfeeding!

Audrey was incredible to work with!<br>My girlie (third baby) was 5 days old when I reached out to Good Life Lactation with a concern about an oral restriction and pain with breastfeeding. Audrey came to my home the next day. She was calm, comforting and knowledgeable- the kind of feeling you get around your own mother. She filled my toolbox with tools including confidence, oral exercises, newborn stretches, a team approach if needed, postpartum support for myself and a peaceful mind. She checked on us after the visit, too! I am so very grateful for Audrey and how simple this was on my end. I would recommend her to my own sister (but she lives in London!) and best friends!

I highly recommend Good Life Lactation! As a first time breast feeding mom I truly had no clue what I was doing. Natasha was so helpful in guiding me with my supply, positioning, latch, and ways to make it an easier process. It was very helpful for me and baby and I am so glad I did it!

Emily was such a calm presence and wonderful to work with. I learned so much from her and am very grateful for all of her time and guidance.
