Kind Words

  • A woman breastfeeds her baby, with a man smiling nearby, in a warm, intimate moment.

    Heather has been such a blessing to our family. She has aided with not only my breastfeeding journey, but so many other aspects of motherhood and postpartum. She has understood my goals and offered incredible advice and wonderful resources I wouldn’t have had without her. I highly recommend Heather for all things postpartum and motherhood, she is very knowledgeable and just a truly amazing person! Keegan

    Heather s beyond exceptional. I have done home visits, office appointments, and virtual sessions. She is always extremely prepared and knowledgeable about whatever your feeding challenge may be. I saw her initially for general help with breastfeeding and then again around 6 months when my baby developed a bottle aversion. I plan to see her for all of my future lactation needs! I recommend her to everyone that I can! - Morgan

    Heather is so incredibly down to earth & genuine! I messaged her out of desperation that my newborn wasn't nursing/latching and she was so quick to respond and assured me she could help. She put me at ease at our first meeting and was very casual and just observed us nursing, gently offering suggestions. This is my 8th baby to breastfeed and I'm still learning different techniques. I would recommend Heather to any mom needing assistance with feeding! -Jennifer

    I had a wonderful experience with Heather! She helped me navigate some very challenging breastfeeding issues with care and compassion. I loved that she did home visits, especially as we figured things out with our first. I also highly recommend the infant massage class.. it was wonderful to learn techniques, meet other local mamas and bond with baby! - Jordan

    Heather was so great with me as a very anxious first time mom! She helped me though the first few months of breast feeding by keeping me calm, reassuring me, and being there when I needed her. She is such an amazing resource and always eager to help, I loved all of the information and guides she provided me with! We are currently going strong at 6 months of EBF and without Heather helping us through our first couple of hurdles I don't know if we would have made it this far! - Dani
