What My Clients Are Saying

02/16/2023

Sarah, thank you so much for all of your help and for being so kind. You were such a light during our hardest days and we cannot thank you enough! Lots of love to you!

I just wanted to take a minute and give my absolute praise to Sarah and her dedication to breastfeeding mamas out here. I think I have met with her only a few times but every meeting I learn more and more from her. I had my second baby 5 months ago and learned so much more information to apply this time around than I ever did with my first baby. I had a severely disappointing lactation consultant with my first baby and it only instilled fear and guilt about the pressure of breastfeeding overall. Sara has opened a completely new door for me- everything from position change, anatomy of my baby, tongue exercises, latch position and way to improve it, head/neck exercises, ways to get rid of hiccups, social media pages to follow, correct pump parts and where to purchase them, the list goes on and on. I wish so badly I would have met Sara sooner. It’s obvious that she is very passionate about lactation and breastfeeding. She makes me feel completely comfortable and hears my concerns. I hope that every mom who chooses to breastfeed gets the chance to meet Sara. She’s wonderful.

12/28/2022

Sarah, thank you for all you have done for me and probably will continue to do for me during my wild breastfeeding/exclusive pumping ride. The times when I have felt hopeless you have been there to help. I turn to you and will continue to turn to you over every doctor I have had…You are gifted! Even when I’ve needed someone to talk me through whatever, you’ve helped! We thank you 1000x over.

02/18/2022

Sarah, we can’t thank you enough for going above and beyond for Avery. You have helped to make this process so much easier.

-

02/17/2022

Sarah is literally the best! Emmett’s feeding probably would have never improved if it wasn’t for her. I have never met such an attentive caring person in my life. I am forever grateful for her.
