I am so grateful for Kristen’s lactation support and counseling- working with her was the best decision I made for my breastfeeding journey. Kristen listened to my concerns, helped me troubleshoot issues, and was truly the first provider that empowered me as a breastfeeding mama. Kristen’s support was unique because she offered tangible things to work on but was also empathetic in validating the emotional and mental load of breastfeeding. The education Kristen provided, along with her support and encouragement allowed me to make the most informed decisions for how to best feed my baby and take care of myself. Kristen helped me gain so much confidence in my own lactation knowledge and I look forward to continuing to breastfeed my baby for as long as she wants!

To be honest, I didn’t think I would breastfeed but I knew if I could try and make it work, I would need help since I was so unprepared. Kristen has done everything from video call with me to work on latching the first night I got home from the hospital to being my first resource when a problem/concern arose. She has a way of sharing her knowledge in such a gentle, supportive way and I probably wouldn’t have made it through the tougher times if I didn’t have her. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to be so consistent and successful if Kristen wasn’t in my corner!

Kristen’s caring nature and excitement for teaching was apparent from the first minute of our discovery call and I immediately knew I needed her in my life. She helped me through all kinds of scenarios, including finding out my baby was breach at 36 weeks resulting in a c-section. Kristen helped me start harvesting colostrum and I was able to provide those nutrients to my baby postnatally. We then worked through tongue and lip ties and were able to wean off of a nipple shield and supplemental formula. Fast forward 8 months and my supply is enough to feed my child solely and she is growing perfectly with what my body can make for her. I wouldn't have been able to do this without Kristen’s continued support!

My goal was to nurse my baby for at least 6 months. Thanks to Kristen’s knowledge and support, I was able to go 10 months and that has become the thing I am most proud of in my life. Kristen was there for me through every up and down. She always validated how I was feeling, educated me, provided me with resources, and supported my decisions. I never once felt judged as a mother and I knew I could go to Kristen with ANYTHING related to my baby. Thank you again, Kristen!

Kristen has been with me through my entire breastfeeding journey. She has helped me through so many things, from engorgement and a strong let down, to clogged ducts and a milk bleb. I’m not sure I’d still be breastfeeding if it weren’t for her help and support. Breastfeeding really is challenging at times, but Kristen helps lessen the load and gives sound solutions to not only troubleshoot issues that inevitably arise, but also just be an encouraging cheerleader for you!

From 8 months pregnant: Kristen has been such a good support for me throughout my pregnancy. There have been so many moments where I have seen things about breastfeeding on social media and it gave me anxiety, but I could just message her and she would help ease that anxiety. I feel so prepared and confident going into my breastfeeding journey because of her, and knowing I’ll have her there throughout the journey. This is the type of support I think all expectant/new moms NEED. She’s a literal gem.
