Stephanie was an important professional during my pregnancy and postpartum experience. I did not have a good breastfeeding experience with my first child, and I wanted to make sure I had support with the second. Her consultation with me before giving birth gave important education and support. I felt prepared for breastfeeding after giving birth, and seeing Stephanie at my house during the first week postpartum was incredible. She was professional, knowledgable, and relatable during my time of need, and I am grateful to have found her as support in the specialized area of lactation.

Stephanie is a FANTASTIC LC! I had an LC with my first baby, but found Stephanie for my second and I am SO, so grateful. She’s knowledgable, experienced and oh so patient. She was an absolute Angel while I went crazy postpartum. I ended up having some issues with my supply and my son gaining weight, and she supported me through one of the hardest times in my life- my hormones and anxiety were off the chart and she patiently answered every one of my questions, encouraged me and honestly put up with me when I was really not myself. She went above and beyond. Thank you for saving my supply AND my sanity! If you’re considering an LC, I wouldn’t hesitate to go with Stephanie. She’s honest and will go above and beyond for you.

Stephanie was so incredibly helpful! I had a very fussy 6 week old baby and I was quite sure what the issue was. As soon as I requested an appointment I was able to see her within 3 days and she even shared recommendations on the days leading up to my appointment. She help us determine that my son was feeding just fine but has a high palate, which I knew nothing about, and needed different soothing mechanisms (something I never would’ve figured out on my own). She also referred us to a nearby chiropractor, which was another game changer. I can’t thank her enough for checking on me to make sure there was progress and I’ve even referred her to 2 other friends that found very similar success!

Stephanie has been one of the biggest reasons that my son and I have had such a successful breastfeeding journey over the last 10 months (and still going strong!) She helped us through an initially painful latch, a tongue tie diagnosis and guidance towards a release, milk supply regulation, and clogs/mastitis. She is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and so caring. I would highly recommended her to anyone looking for lactation assistance!
