I cannot recommend Rachel enough. As a first-time mom, I was feeling overwhelmed to start breastfeeding, but meeting with Rachel before baby arrived made all the difference. She provided invaluable information and guidance that made me feel much more prepared and confident. Rachel has met with us serval times now, and has been a constant support throughout my breastfeeding journey. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate lactation consultant, look no further. Her expertise has truly made a difference and I am forever grateful for her help.

I had a fantastic experience with Rachel. She has such a comforting demeanor, is highly professional, and always provides clear, easy-to-understand explanations. Her support made a huge difference in my breastfeeding journey for both my children.

We are so appreciative of Rachel’s guidance and expertise! She’s been a huge help in me and my family’s nursing journey and is kind, responsive and reassuring. She has always been quick to support and offers so much wisdom while we navigate all the changes our baby undergoes. We can’t thank her enough for her support!
