Karen Z. is truly amazing!! I’m a first time mom and breast feeding. She truly helped me to feel better about everything!
Misfortune Mod (Misfortune14486)
Suzanne is amazing! Highly recommend!! Super sweet, helpful, and very knowledgeable!!
Breana Uzeta
She spent a lot of time with us doing evaluation and addressing all our issues! I feel much more comfortable with breastfeeding and got a lot of tips for pumping and much more! Anyone struggling with breastfeeding should book a session with her! The only regret I have is waiting 2 weeks before I reached out for help!

Brandy Lightfoot!! A woman who honestly cannot be described in a simple Google Review. A 100/5 star human being. Going into the hospital I planned on having a natural birth and breastfeeding (I took the classes & everything) and I left with a precious baby, a Caesarean birth, and my baby on formula (due post opt infection that led to swelling and unable to latch). Brandy came over on our FIRST visit and took a hopeless situation and turned it into magic! We latched and have been breastfeeding ever since that very first time (now 6+ months). Brandy gave me the tools to work with my specific challenges and my babies and helped us create a bond that every woman dreams about having with her baby. Brandy helped me get my supply up, manage my supply, helped me when I traveled (pumping schedule), taught me about bottles, feeding, pumping, etc., and has been the most helpful resource on my motherhood journey. Brandy is a true earth angel and has the kindest heart. She not only helped me breastfeed but she also helped me as a mother and a woman regain my confidence and strength. I owe so much of my journey to this woman! If you are on the fence do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with Brandy, you and your baby will thank me, I promise. Good luck on your journey!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathy Lenert. She has gone above and beyond for me and my baby . Her support has been genuine, patient, and deeply compassionate during one of the hardest phases of new motherhood. She always makes me feel heard, understood, and cared for — not just as a feeding parent, but as a whole person. After my son’s tongue tie release she went above and beyond to call me to check in and was very supportive.
Her guidance has made such a difference in our breastfeeding journey, and I’m truly grateful for her dedication. She is a rare gem and I recommend her wholeheartedly to any new mom.
