"Cathy was incredibly helpful to us and I can't recommend her enough! She was so kind and spent a lot of time with us to assess what was happening with our son. We have had a number of breastfeeding issues, and I was feeling very overwhelmed by it all. After our session, I walked away with some immediate things to look into and felt pointed in the right direction. I also felt like I had a renewed hope and confidence. I would recommend her to anyone looking for lactation help."~Caley
"Cathy was so helpful to me figuring out why my baby wasn’t gaining weight appropriately. This is my third child, and I was expecting our breastfeeding relationship to be similar to my first two, but it is of course unique to this baby. Cathleen helped me identify what our issue was, assured me that my supply was sufficient, and gave me manageable strategies to improve baby’s intake and weight gain. She delivered my care plan promptly and has been exceptionally available for follow up. I am very relieved to have found her and worked with her!"~Sarah
