I had such a wonderful experience with Stacey! She was incredibly supportive, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She provided helpful guidance, answered all of my questions, and made me feel more confident in my breastfeeding journey. I never felt judged or pressured—just genuinely supported. I would highly recommend her to any mom looking for encouragement and guidance with breastfeeding!

Stacey was amazing and helped me tremendously!!! I’m a first time mom trying to navigate breastfeeding. Unfortunately, in the beginning I had a shallow latch without realizing and the damage lead me to need to pump and use formula while I was healing. Stacey helped us get back to solely breastfeeding right away YAY! Her positivity and guidance kept me feeling hopeful that we were doing everything right and can get back on track without giving up. Scheduled a follow up as well for reassurance and she said to reach out at any point if I still need anything. Would recommend her to any mom going through the breastfeeding journey!

Book the consultation! What an investment in myself and my baby. I was having aversions and pain and considered hanging in the towel and switching to formula which would be a huge financial strain but I felt desperate. I had previously nursed my other for 18 months but I was suddenly experiencing symptoms with my 2 week old. Being heard, supported and guided was so valuable and she is so kind and informed! Absolutely recommend!

One thing I really appreciated about Stacy is how down to earth she is! She came to my home when I was a week pp and I felt very seen, heard and supported. My experience with other LCs from the hospital, I always felt like they wanted me in their corner and choosing what they preferred and didn’t actually listen to what I wanted to do. I really felt supported by Stacy and loved that she asked why questions- making sure she understood where I was coming from and making sure she wasn’t missing anything so she can help me in the best way she could!

Stacey was amazingly helpful. She is sure to go over all of your questions and address all of you and your babies needs. She shares all of her knowledge and experience with you and is thorough with her recommendations for the best feeding experience for you and baby. Highly recommend for any women who are breastfeeding!

I had such a great experience with Stacey. I had breastfed before but had terrible nipple damage and latch issues and turned to exclusively pumping. I was really nervous about trying again. She came to my house and was so kind, calm, and supportive the entire time. She made me feel comfortable and encouraged, and really helped me with reintroducing breastfeeding in a way that felt manageable and positive. Her support meant so much during a stressful time, and I’m so grateful for her help. I would absolutely recommend Stacey to any mom needing breastfeeding support. Now I am able to breastfeed my little girl a few times a day and hope to exclusively breastfeed soon!

Thanks to Stacy and Lactation Express, I am confidently breastfeeding my almost 4 week old. At our first consultation, Stacy went over proper latching, checked my son’s mouth and tongue for ties and function, and even weighed him before and after our feed so she could calculate how much he ate- which eased my anxiety that I wasn’t producing enough milk. Stacy then came again to teach me about pumping and paced bottle feeding. I am so grateful for all of her help and expertise. Stacy is professional, patient, and so kind. I would highly recommend any new mom needing guidance on breastfeeding or pumping/bottle feeding to reach out to Lactation Express !

Stacey was incredible. From the moment she walked into my house to when she left she was very attentive, kind, and informative. I was having issues breast-feeding my one month old so I ended up switching to pumping/bottle-feeding but by the time she left, we were back to breast-feeding and we have continued to do so sense. If you’re looking for help on your breast-feeding journey, I definitely would recommend reaching out to Stacey.

She is incredible, I was really doubting myself, but she helped my baby latch and gave me so much confidence. Her support truly made all the difference for me and my baby.

Stacey came to my home when my son was one month old, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her support. As a first-time mom, I assumed everything would come naturally and was hesitant to ask for help, but Stacey immediately put me at ease. She explained the basics clearly, answered every question, and helped me build confidence in advocating for myself and my baby. I booked two appointments (one for breastfeeding and one for pumping), and both were incredibly informative. Thanks to Stacey, I now feel confident in feeding my son, knowing when and how to pump, using proper positions, and so much more. Her guidance was truly invaluable. I highly recommend Stacey and her company to any new parent looking for knowledgeable, compassionate support.

Stacey is a lifesaver! I had a rocky start to my BF journey with pain, bleeding, and other concerns. I was desperate to find an IBCLC ASAP and found Stacey in a FB group. I reached out and she responded back right away and was able to set up a home visit for the very next day. (this was right after Christmas, which makes it even more amazing!) During the appointment, Stacey instantly made me feel comfortable and safe. She was fantastic about asking for consent before doing anything. Stacey determined that the latch was the issue and she helped fix it right then and there! The pain was immediately better and everything was able to heal and improve soon after using her guidance. Stacey saved our BF journey! She is truly an expert in her field. Stacey provided a superbill to submit to insurance and it was fully covered! Even if it wasn’t, I would gladly pay out of pocket. Thank you Stacey for your help! We are so grateful for you!

My son is 12 weeks old and I have been almost exclusively pumping since I had him. Recently I ran into some issues and was almost about to quit pumping entirely until someone recommended I have a consult with Stacey. I connected with her and immediately knew I was talking to the right person! Stacey made sure I felt comfortable and also made sure my specific needs were met. She truly saved my pumping journey and I am forever grateful!

Stacey was amazing in helping me on my breastfeeding journey. She did not pressure me to do anything that made me feel uncomfortable and make the whole process very calm and educational. Stacey not only helped my baby latch, but she also made sure I was okay and answered every question I had. I highly recommend Stacey if breastfeeding is something you aspire to do!

After hitting a rough spot with breastfeeding I searched for someone who would be the right fit. After looking at the options in the area I was drawn to Stacey after I visited her IG. It wasn’t her following that impressed me but because I could tell she was both an expert and relatable. I was sooo thankful she was able to fit me in the next day, any mama struggling with breastfeeding knows how urgent something like this is! Stacey was able to give me 2 simple fixes that I would not have been able to correct on my own. She also pointed out a few areas to watch out for without instilling fear on exhausted parents 🙃 I would highly recommend Stacey for her experience, kind personality, and bedside manners with our baby. So glad we had Stacey to sow into our breastfeeding journey.

I have so many good things to say about Stacey! As a first time mom to twins, I had so many questions to ensure I was supporting my babies. Booking my appointment was so simple through her website. She was timely, professional, and offered specific knowledge to improve my breastfeeding and pumping journey. I am now more confident breastfeeding my twins and proper flange fitting has greatly improved my pumping experience.

I’ve worked with Stacey after both of my babies were born and can’t recommend her enough! She was so supportive, friendly, and reassuring both during and after our sessions. My babies were so comfortable with her which put me at ease. And both times she helped me reach my feeding goals and gave me the confidence I needed to pursue breastfeeding longer than I ever thought I would.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Stacey with Lactation Express!! I am a FTM living in Ocean County and I had a few different questions and concerns about breastfeeding prior to Stacey coming over for a home visit. Stacey did a weighted feed and observed me breast feeding my daughter. Not only did Stacey provide me with helpful, concrete advice to improve breastfeeding for myself and my baby but she also made me feel so much more confident. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I reached out to Stacey on a Monday and she could not see me until Wednesday but she could tell I was concerned and called me within minutes of me reaching out. Even prior to meeting her in person, she made me feel so much better! She also followed up and checked in the day after we met. I could not recommend Stacey enough! I will certainly be using her again for any questions and concerns I have about breastfeeding!

I reached out to Stacey after my 2.5 month old had a tongue tie release completed. She immediately made me feel comfortable and shared a lot of valuable information. By the end of our visit, Stacey felt like family. It was so helpful, I booked a future pumping session prep appointment for when I am traveling for work. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable that never makes you feel rushed.. look no further. Stacey is IT!!!

- Stephanie Kaiser

I had trouble getting my baby to latch from the day my baby was born until I met Stacey. She has given me such great advice and was the support and push I needed to not give up. I couldn’t and wouldn’t recommend anyone else but Stacey!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Stacey. From the very first appointment, she was warm, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made me feel completely supported, listened to all my concerns without judgment, and provided practical, effective solutions that truly made a difference in my breastfeeding journey. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to overcome challenges I thought would end my breastfeeding goals. Between latching troubles, milk transfer issues, and even a pumping schedule- She was patient, encouraging, and always just a message away when I needed extra reassurance. Her calm presence and expert advice were exactly what I needed during such an emotional and vulnerable time. I genuinely don’t know what I would have done without her. If you're a new mom or struggling with breastfeeding, I can't recommend Stacey enough.

I reached out to Stacey for help nursing my 2 week old. I was dealing with pain and relying on a nipple shield to get him to latch. Stacey was very professional, thorough, and kind towards me and my son. We were able to get a deep latch right away and I have so much more confidence in nursing. I’m so glad I reached out to Stacey.

It was a pleasure working with Stacey as I started my breastfeeding journey with my second child. Stacey made me feel comfortable, supported and answered all of my questions- she is very knowledgeable and made me feel more confident about how to improve my breastfeeding experience for baby and me.

After struggling to nurse with my first child, I made it my priority to make it work with my second and have the experience I’ve always wanted. Stacey came to my home and provided me with all the tools, tips, and tricks to have a successful nursing journey. I immediately had no pain with nursing and felt more confident after our visit. Her professionalism and skill set is so valuable! Forever grateful for her!

Being a new mother and wanting to start the breastfeeding journey I eagerly booked an appointment with her. Stacey is the Lactation Fairy Godmother! She helped get me started on my journey and her education and advice helped me able to get into pumping. She knows her stuff, extremely knowledgeable, empathetic and sincere. Definitely the perfect person to help on the breastfeeding journey.

I cannot recommend Stacey from Lactation Express enough! I reached out to her during a time of complete despair...I was 8 months postpartum, had just returned to work, and was dealing with a sudden, severe drop in my milk supply. When I called to schedule an appointment, I found myself crying on the phone, and she was so kind, compassionate, and understanding. She immediately made me feel heard and supported, and went out of her way to come see me the very next day. During our appointment, she was incredibly thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. She took her time to talk through every detail of my situation, never once making me feel rushed. In fact, we ran over on our appointment and she was just as attentive and caring as she was at the start. She discovered that I was using the wrong flange size on my pump, which no one else had ever caught, and properly sized me, which made a huge difference. Not only did she help save my breastfeeding journey, but she also offered valuable advice for other areas of improvement moving forward. One especially meaningful thing she did was capture a few beautiful, candid photos of me breastfeeding my baby. It was something I hadn’t realized I was missing...and now I have these precious keepsakes to remember this special bond. Her quick response, empathy, and genuine care meant the world to me, and I could never thank her enough for the support she provided in such a vulnerable moment. If you’re looking for a compassionate, skilled, and truly wonderful lactation consultant, I cannot recommend her more highly.

Stacey has helped me to continue my breastfeeding journey when I was a hair away from giving up due to latching issues. She is so personable, knowledgeable, and truly gave me the confidence back that I needed to continue my journey. She came to my house and was respectful and prompt. I always feel relieved after our appointments conclude. I would definitely recommend seeing Stacey even if you do not have any issues just to find out more information you may not know!

- Brianne Nyisztor

Stacey was absolutely amazing!! I would have honestly given up without her. Breastfeeding did not come easy and that took a huge mental toll on me early postpartum. All I wanted to do was breastfed my baby. I was using a nipple shield and was feeling discouraged by it, but Stacey gave me the reassurance I needed, encouraged me to continue to try latching intermittently and then one day at 2 month old my babygril finally latched! Her services are well worth it!

- Katrina Jimenez

I was definitely feeling very discouraged on my breastfeeding journey due to consistent pain before I met Stacey. She helped me find a better latch with my little so that I could continue breastfeeding! She was patient, gentle and extremely knowledgeable. I even did a session with her on pumping in preparation for going back to work and all the anxiety I had about pumping went away after our time together!

I chose Stacey because of her stellar reviews, and if I could rate her higher than 5 stars I would. Stacey fit me into her schedule when she could sense I was struggling. She is a professional with a wealth of knowledge and experience. She gets to know you, your baby, and your individual circumstances. She advises without judgement or bias, and supports you in your goals, whatever they may be. She is personable and kind, considerate and relatable. She instilled confidence in me and my future journey, and it is relief to know that I have someone to turn to that will guide me if I need without judgement. Thank you, Stacey for your care and for sharing your expertise!

I was experiencing a lot of pain while breastfeeding my 2-week-old, even though this wasn’t my first child or my first time breastfeeding. I wasn’t sure if Stacey could help, but I was desperate—and it turned out to be the best decision I made. Stacey was incredibly thorough, respectful, and helpful. She taught me how to latch properly, and I felt immediate relief after our consultation. Things have only improved since. I’m so grateful to her and wish I had reached out sooner!

- Blimie Heller

If I could give Stacey 10 stars I would! I set up my first appointment with Stacey when my daughter was about one week old which was a postnatal home visit that included a weighted feed. Stacey was so thorough during this appointment and reassured me that my latch looked great, and my daughter was eating plenty! She was so kind and gentle which is exactly what I needed being postpartum. My second appointment with her was a ‘pumping’ appointment since I was entirely unsure of how to use my pump at home. Stacey was so knowledgeable when it came to how to use them and explained everything so perfectly to me. She watched me pump and helped me give my daughter a bottle for the first time! I could not recommend Stacey more and will definitely be using her for all of my future lactation services! :)

We are incredibly grateful for Stacey’s support throughout our breastfeeding journey. From our prenatal consult, she educated us thoroughly, preparing us for what to expect. After our baby was born, she followed up and provided reassurance, and her home visit when our daughter was just one week old gave us the confidence we needed. Stacey’s ongoing education, personalized recommendations, and strategies have been invaluable as we work toward exclusively breastfeeding. Her expertise, compassion, and dedication have made all the difference in our journey, and we feel so fortunate to have had her by our side.

I was recommended to Stacey by my sister after I delivered my second baby. Even though I nursed my first child until she was about 20 months, I needed a refresher course. I scheduled an appointment for Stacey to come for a home visit about a week after we got home from the hospital. She did a before and after weighed feeding, did an oral exam on my son and noticed a tongue tie which was resulting in a shallow latch and exhausting feedings for baby and painful sessions for me. Stacey was able to help show me more effective nursing positions until we had a follow-up appointment with a pediatric dentist. My son is now 16 months old and we are still on our nursing journey. I have and will continue to recommend Stacey to all expecting moms who are hoping to have a successful nursing experience.

Between the hormones and sleep deprivation I was LOST when it came to breast feeding. I thought it would be no problem but I was always worrying if I was doing it right and if she was getting enough. I reached out to Stacey for help during my most vulnerable time and I’m so glad I did! She was so kind and I felt so safe with her. Even just the peace of mind was worth it. She identified a tongue tie in my daughter that we had to address as well. Very thankful for her in my corner during my breastfeeding journey.

My daughter was a premature baby with an upper lip tie, and I struggled significantly with her latch, compounded by worries about my milk supply. As a result, she was losing weight and had to go to the doctor weekly for weight checks. I arranged two at home visits with Stacey to address the latching difficulties and my daughter’s ongoing weight loss. After our first session, my daughter regained her birth weight within a week. There were many moments when I felt overwhelmed and unsure if I was doing right by her, but Stacey’s patience and expertise helped me persevere. Thanks to her guidance, I successfully nursed my daughter exclusively for a full year. I truly wouldn’t have reached this milestone without her support. My daughter celebrated her first birthday on Saturday, and I’m filled with gratitude.

I met Stacey at the bedside in the hospital after I had my 2nd baby. With my first baby, I was never able to breast feed him and wish I had Stacey’s support back then too! Stacey visited myself and my second baby at my home in September and gave me so many pointers and tricks for latching and nursing my baby boy! Almost 3 months later, his latch is MUCH better than at the time of our consultation with her and he is thriving! So thankful for Stacey and all of her help and positive encouragement!

I met Stacey while I was pregnant and was immediately drawn to her. I knew my goal was to breastfeed, and I knew it would be hard, so I planned to work with her right away. And I am so glad I did. I have had two home visits with Stacey: the first was a breastfeeding consultation and the second was to help me learn how to use my pump. Four weeks into being a breastfeeding mom, I'd be lying if I said nursing wasn't still hard; however, Stacey has been essential to my journey and to helping me navigate the physical and emotional challenges of the process. She is extremely knowledgeable and extremely kind--two qualities I look for in any medical provider. I am very grateful for her care and would recommend her services to any breastfeeding mama looking for in-home support.

I can't express enough gratitude for Stacey at Lactation Express. From the moment I met her, her warmth and compassion put me at ease. Her personable approach made discussing breastfeeding challenges feel comfortable and natural. Stacey's expertise and guidance have been invaluable to me on my breastfeeding journey. She listens attentively, offers practical advice, and genuinely cares about her clients' well-being. Thanks to Stacey, I feel more confident and empowered as a new mom. Five stars doesn't seem like enough to rate her exceptional service!

Stacey has been an incredibly valuable resource for our family from day 1 with our firstborn back in 2020. Her warmth, patience, and hands-on approach along with her knowledge and expertise gave me the tools and confidence I needed for a very successful breastfeeding journey. She listened to me and understood my goals and was determined to help me find success. With our second child in 2023, I met Stacey again in the hospital and she provided the same energy, care, and guidance. When I developed mastitis, I reached out for a home visit and she was able to get me scheduled almost immediately. She took her time, made sure I was comfortable and was extremely thorough and available for help until I recovered. She was able to identify all of our feeding challenges, explained and showed me how the anatomy as well as positioning impacts feeding, and she provided multiple resources to help me address everything efficiently. Her love of mothers and babies is evident in her work and the way she cares about her clients as well as their goals and well-being. I am truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her services to anyone who hopes to successfully breastfeed. Thank you, Stacey!

Stacey was phenomenal! She came to my home the week before I returned to work from maternity leave. She answered all of my questions on pumping, helped me find the right flange size and eased my anxiety about providing enough for my baby while away. I can’t recommend her enough to expecting or new moms, I wish I had reached out sooner!

Stacey was a necessity for my breast feeding journey with my first newborn. From the time my baby was 10 days old, Stacey was so thorough, receptive and knowledgeable. I initially encountered some issues with my little one while breast feeding, but thanks to Stacey, her assessment and recommendations, we are now doing great at 7 weeks! My baby latches better and my breast milk supply has increased to meet my baby’s needs. It shows that she really loves what she does and is enthusiastic about helping fellow moms, all while still being respectful to what choices you make for you and your little one. I cannot recommend her enough to every new or soon-to-be mama I know!

I met with Stacey twice, first through a virtual session for a newborn and breastfeeding education class while I was pregnant and second when my newborn was about a week old through a home visit! I had reached out to her because I wanted to learn more about pumping. She was able to do everything from the comfort of my home including showing me how to use my pump, reviewing breast milk storage guidelines, ensure I was using the right size flange, and more! I would definitely recommend her services for any new moms or any moms that want to know more about effectively breastfeeding and pumping.

Stacey is an amazing resource! She came to my house on her day off after I had reached out to her extremely stressed because my baby was only 1 week and had lost 10% of his birthweight. The pediatrician had me supplementing him with formula and I was so defeated since I really wanted to exclusively breastfeed. She was responsive as soon as I reached out, made time to come to my house on the weekend instead of having me wait until her next available appt which was the following week, and was able to get my infant back to exclusively breastfeeding within 1.5 weeks. She is knowledgeable, really listened to me and was patient with my many questions. Through weighted feeding, observing me and baby, and through discussion she was able to provide me practical guidance without being pushy or judgmental. She was able to help me identify that I was potentially sabotaging my milk supply and helped me course correct right away. I hope every mother who is struggling with breastfeeding is lucky enough to find Stacey and not give up!!

Stacey is such an encouraging provider. She has helped me to work on weaning my baby off of the nipple shield. In turn she has instilled confidence in my ability to feed my baby without the shield and improved my relationship with breastfeeding. Stacey was helpful in teaching me how to pump for my baby when I return to work and how to incorporate a bottle into our current routine to make my transition back to work smoother. I have recommended her to many of my friends and I urge you to seek her advice and guidance in this crazy time of motherhood.

After a month of difficulty nursing which included pain, improper latch and an absolute dread for every feed, I scheduled a home visit with Stacey. I can honestly say, if I hadn’t, I may have given up on my plan to exclusively nurse all together. Her knowledge, skill, genuine care and kindness set her apart. She came up with a specific care plan individually catered to mine and my baby’s needs. After my first meeting with her, I quickly saw an improvement and had my first glimpse of hope. Thank you Stacey for being an integral part of my nursing journey. I cannot recommend her enough!

5 stars is not enough. Stacey is absolutely amazing. She is so knowledgeable with her profession and so good at what she does. She makes you feel so comfortable and is truly someone who provides you with support during a time it can certainly be most needed. She really helped me go from feeling hopeless to hopeful in only a few short visits. I would recommend her to anyone and certainly use her again if needed in the future. Again can’t say enough good things about every aspect of Stacey and the information she brings and the help she provides! Thanks!

Such a pleasant experience with Stacey! She was so gentle, kind, and helpful! We were having some difficulty with feeding our little one! She provided us with plenty of recommendations to help us with the feedings, as well as some other things that we didn’t even realize that we could improve! Her pre- and post-feeding weigh in gave me all of the reassurance that I had been needing to know that my baby was eating enough! My only problem is that I wish I reached out sooner! We will definitely be using Lactation Express in the future and am recommending it to all of my pregnant or postpartum manas!

I was introduced to Stacey by a good friend of mine when I had my son. I was in a panic at home on a Friday evening with a newborn who was already down 8% birth weight and wasn’t latching. I called Stacey after 6pm hysterical asking for help, she didn’t have any apts available on her website but she made herself available. She talked to me over the phone that night, calmed me down and gave me tips. That Monday morning she came to my home and helped me with so much, she even saw my son had a tongue and lip tie after Drs in the hospital told me he didn’t have one! I was obviously very concerned over his weight loss so she weighed him before and after feedings to reassure that he was in fact getting milk and eating. Almost 8 months later now and I am still EBF my sweet boy. I couldn’t have gotten this far with out Stacey’s help. I am so thankful for her!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Stacey! She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She answered all of my questions, gave useful advice, and was wonderful with my newborn daughter. Highly recommend!! Update on 3/13 - l had a second appointment with Stacey. I messaged her with some urgent questions and she accommodated a last minute consult. She completely helped my situation, gave me great advice, and helped me feel way more confident. I really could not recommend her enough! She truly cares about the moms and babies she helps and it shows!

Great experience ! Found Stacey on Google. I needed someone to come out ASAP. As a third time mom, every baby breastfeeds differently. With all my knowledge, I was still struggling. My baby would latch then push off. Stacey came to our home and we went over everything. As my newborn was learning how to feed still, she gave me some great advice on how to make sure I don’t loose my supply. She was extremely sweet and patient.

Stacey was absolutely wonderful and so incredibly helpful with getting my son to breastfeed better. My son spent 5 days in the NICU and it was a real struggle with breastfeeding. He was unable to nurse for the first three days and then had latching issues once we actually started trying. We were still having issues when we came home and I was resolved to pump exclusively so he would still get breast milk. Stacey gave me great advice and showed me the best ways to get him to latch and different cues to look for when he’s nursing. I’m very happy to say I’m now only nursing him and he’s doing amazing! I haven’t needed to pump in almost a week now and I’m so happy to have that time back in my day to spend with my son and my husband. So grateful for everything Stacey has done.

Stacey is so helpful and thoughtful! I couldn’t recommend her services enough. I think every mom could find her services useful. With my baby in the NICU and receiving little to no help at the hospital, she immediately messaged me with tips on pumping and guidance on what to do. Afterwards, I scheduled an appointment where she came right to my house that was simple and easy. Once my baby is home, I plan to schedule again on help with breastfeeding. 10000% recommend!!

Stacey has went above and beyond for my daughter and I. Breastfeeding was incredibly painful for me and stacey came over and saw that Ally had a tongue tie. She also helped me position her better to make her latch better. She takes the time to answer all of my questions without any hesitation. She has made this breastfeeding journey amazing and with no signs of stopping. We're 5 months in and I could not have done it without her.

Stacey is wonderful! She came highly recommended from one of my friends and I first met her at an event in Pt Pleasant. I started following her on social media and learned she offers a prenatal breastfeeding education class and highly recommended it! It was so informative and helpful to have gotten all of the information before delivery! I now feel prepared and empowered to start my breastfeeding journey once baby boy gets here and I know I have an excellent resource to reach out too with any questions!

I had an amazing experience with Stacey. I had my first baby in July 2021 and Stacey came to my house when she was about 2 weeks old. We were struggling with a shallow and very painful latch. With Stacey’s guidance, the latch was corrected and my BF journey greatly improved. It’s no longer painful and my little one is growing and gaining beautifully. I have recommended her to several friends and she has been such a great resource to us all.

After a rough experience breast feeding with my first child, I knew I wanted help to successfully breastfeed my second. I had Stacey come for an in-home visit when my baby was 3 days old and am so glad I did. She assessed my daughter for tounge ties and found a upper tie. She was very knowledgeableon what a upper tounge tie could effect and on the steps to take to get it further evaluated. Stacey then helped me fix my hold and how I was getting the baby to latch. Stacey was great about watching first and then giving gentle advice on how to fix what I was doing. I felt like she really took time to make sure I was feeling more confident in getting the baby to latch correctly. Since Stacey came I have been more successful in my breastfeeding journey and Stacey has checked in to see how I am doing with it. I will definitely be recommending her to moms!

I found Stacey through a hospital recommendation when my daughter was 4 days old. I was immediately impressed by her website and the available information, so I scheduled an in-home visit with her. She arrived right on time, which was so helpful as it was just about time to nurse again, and she got right to work weighing our daughter and asking questions about our progress. She was able to tell me, show me and guide me through correcting our shallow latch issues. She assessed our daughter for a lip tie and provided some suggestions that we could explore if we chose to. Her approach was professional but gentle and I knew she really cared to be sure we felt confident before she left. She followed up after the visit with encouragement and gentle reminders. We’ll absolutely be scheduling a follow up after her lip tie eval and recommending her to friends. She is truly the only reason we’re still breastfeeding 2 months in!

Not only super sweet and kind, she is an RN and knows her stuff! Stacy is so passionate about helping mommas through the insanely challenging time of learning to be a momma and learning to breastfeed- I’d hire her in an instant if I was a new mom again!

Stacey is wonderful! I can't recommend her enough. I made an appointment with her just as I was getting ready to throw in the towel on breastfeeding. I had looked at reviews for other consultants and messaged a few but they just weren't the right fit. Stacey is very relaxed and has a great calming personality that helped me to feel at ease. She showed me how to correct a painful latch and made breastfeeding a much more pleasant experience for me and my daughter. My daughter just turned 3 months old and our breastfeeding journey is still going strong thanks to Stacey. She also helped me to fit my breastpump flanges properly before I returned to work to maximize the amount of milk I could pump. If you are looking for a sweet and understanding BCLC who will listen to you and help you with your specific needs, give Stacey a call, she is awesome!
