Hear From Mothers Who've Been Where You Are.

Amazing is an understatement! She provided me with lots of information and answers to all my questions. She helped me with breastfeeding by teaching me how to massage and apply warm compresses to avoid engorgement. She also taught me how to release a clogged duct. Very professional and a sweet young lady. I highly recommend her for your lactation needs.

Client, Mother of Two

Navigating the world of breastfeeding can prove quite challenging, especially for first-timers after enduring a long and painful labor journey. Despite my previous professional breastfeeding education, I encountered unexpected hurdles and complications during labor. At the brink of giving up, a saving grace in the form of Maria appeared. With unwavering support, Maria bolstered my determination and shared invaluable insights. Remarkably, she identified an overlooked issue—my baby’s lip tie—and adeptly guided me in achieving a more comfortable latch, leading to pain-free feedings. Thanks to her guidance, my milk production flourished, breast discomfort and pain became manageable, and solutions emerged. In light of her exceptional knowledge, care, and gentleness, I wholeheartedly endorse Maria as an indispensable resource.
