Testimonials
Theresa has been an integral part of my breast-feeding journey with my firstborn son. She is an advocate and cheerleader, and an extremely educated Lactation Consultant with decades of experience spanning across multiple jobs in the specialty of mothers and babies. Not knowing what to expect with breast-feeding and facing multiple challenges along the way, Theresa approached every situation with empathy and research-backed suggestions and solutions. She took her time educating me about breastfeeding at our initial consult before I gave birth, which was a great way to start learning. Theresa's teaching span beyond lactation: she is certified to teach mother/baby yoga and led my son and I through a fabulous personalized yoga class that promoted movement and bonding!Our baby was born at 37 weeks and had lost too much weight within the first couple days after being born, and Theresa made her schedule flexible to come over and create a customized and rigorous feeding plan that supported my goal of exclusive breast-feeding. This plan, alongside Theresa's support, ultimately helped our son exceed his birthweight and he continues to be on a healthy trajectory with his weight and growth!I truly can't imagine persisting through my breast-feeding journey without Theresa. Thankfully, I don't have to! Postpartum life is really challenging, and Theresa has been such a positive light for me as I navigate this new chapter. I highly recommend her!

Theresa has provided invaluable support for us during my breastfeeding journey. My son was born 3 weeks early and took bottles in 1.5 hours. The LC I tried before her said exclusively breastfeeding was not a realistic goal for us, but Theresa said we could work towards it and didn't see a reason as to why that goal wouldn't work as long as I was willing to put the effort towards it. She broke it down into small problems. First, we focused on getting his bottle feedings to under 15 minutes while I pumped so I could get more rest and things were more manageable. Afterwards, we worked on bringing up my milk supply as well as breastfeeding positions and optimal positions for latching. A few months in, I now am able to exclusively nurse my son thanks to all of her support and guidance! I couldn't have done it without her expertise and encouragement.
