Sophia came in with a wonderful & calm energy and she gave me lots of suggestions on how to make the latch much more comfortable. She designed us a plan to breastfeed more as that was my goal and she followed up with me. After a few weeks, I had no more challenges with the breastfeeding! Fast forward a few months when my daughter was no longer accepting the bottle (what a switch)! Sophia came back in again with her wonderful, calming energy and got my daughter to drink from the bottle and gave us pointers on how to do it ourselves. Now we are successfully able to switch between breast and bottle, no problem! Thank you Sophia, you have greatly aided my breastfeeding journey!

Sophia is hands down the best lactation consultant I've ever experienced/worked with. I wish I had…read moremet her when I had my first baby as she is currently helping me on my breastfeeding journey with my second child after my son's tongue and lip ties were released. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, patient, provides evidence-based recommendations and truly prioritizes mom's wellbeing as well as baby's. My husband was able to join us for part of her in-home visit and said he learned so much and we both felt so much more confident and empowered. She immediately sent a full plan via email reiterating the tips and info she shared during the visit for reference. Lactation support and education should be accessible to every mother when considering the immense benefits of breastfeeding - and Sophia made sure we had all the tools for success, making herself available at any point in the future for any other questions we had. On top of it all, she is a lovely human who is genuinely passionate about what she does and strongly advocates for mom and baby. Highly highly recommend!

Melissa came to our house, checked everything out, we did weighted feeds, she gave lots of super helpful tips (even though this was my second baby). In no time, baby girl was eating without issue! So well in fact, that we had to have Melissa come back out now that baby is 5 months old, and now wouldn't take a bottle. With baby starting school soon, we knew we had to get her to take a bottle in the near future. We tried about 5 types of bottles over the course of a few weeks, with several types of nipple flows, and all we got was screaming and bottle refusal. Then I remembered that Melissa also helps with bottle refusal and gave her a call. Melissa recommended a type of bottle that often works in these cases, came over, and had our baby drinking out of the bottle on the first attempt. We've had no issues since! Truly a miracle! I wish I had called her again sooner, we could have saved a lot of money and anxiety! Cannot recommend Melissa highly enough!

I had such an amazing experience at the Marietta location. My daughter and I worked with Michelle…read morewho was such a sweetheart and very patient with us. I had first time mom concerns about how much milk my daughter was transferring in her feedings. Michelle patiently walked me through what was normal and healthy for newborns and expectations for my daughter. She put me at ease and provided techniques to assist me with helping my daughter transfer more milk in her feedings. These techniques worked, as I discovered in my follow up weighted feed that my daughter was now transferring more milk!!! She sat with me during a feeding and observed. It didn't feel intrusive or intimidating. She showed true concern and had me talk her through my concerns. Lastly, she assisted me with properly using my breast pump. I had been using the incorrect flange size and experiencing some discomfort during my pump sessions. She quickly looked at me and guided me to the correct flange size and my pump sessions have greatly improved with me now getting 2+ more ounces than o previously had. This facility is such an amazing resource and the staff is awesome!

She helped us diagnose, treat and work through my sons oral ties as well as educate us on how to help his reflux. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to breastfeeding and babies.

I had to go out of town without my son for 24 hours (he was 6 weeks at the time - crazy I know) and was unsure how to go about stocking up my breastmilk and introduce a bottle to him. Bethany came up with a plan of action and although I was nervous, the day went flawlessly. He took to the bottle, had plenty of milk and has had no trouble breastfeeding since. Her follow up emails were super thorough and filled with a ton of information that I continue to reference. She has kept in touch since our appointment and it's clear that she has a genuine interest in her clients' well being and success. I'm so grateful for her and couldn't recommend her enough. If you need a lactation consultant, Bethany is the BEST.

Next while I was doing my paperwork the young white lady picked up my son with her hair not pulled back . Her hair came to her mid back... so just think about all that hair that went into my sons face ... ugh! So not cool nor sanitary!! While waiting on the NP the conversations the ladies was having was mind blowing. I get you can talk about anything, but since it's a big open space with just foldables to separate the rooms you have to watch what you say... I had to wait over 15 min for the NP (I was the only one in the office) and they was out talking about they "sugar daddies ".... At this point I had to text my boyfriend that I'd never return back there. Pretty clean room... but professionalism is not key there.

We were fairly new to GA and I procrastinated so bad on finding a doula we actually met Melissa…read moreafter baby Declan was ready here (he decided to come early and I am the queen procrastinator). I found her on Yelp and she was my savings grace. Always on time, upbeat, and encouraging me to sit down, relax, go nap/shower and offering me help. Upon first meeting we hit it off so well but I'm a slight introvert so her first time arriving to my home to help I was nervous and didn't really know what to expect but sure enough she showed up with a smile and some comfort for me and my kiddos. Day 1 she came with some toy dinosaurs for my older (2yo) to play with- I thought it was the sweetest gesture to think of him. She happily baby wore 3w old Declan while cleaning around the house and filling in so I could get in some much needed self care. Look no further y'all Melissa is great!

We were on the fence about hiring a…read moredoula, but after talking with Melissa both in our initial interview and then later during our home visit, we knew that having her as an advocate was worth the investment. We interviewed a few doulas and decided to work with Melissa because she brought the most experience and professionalism to the job. Not only was she able to bring her extensive knowledge of pregnancy and birthing to all of my questions, she also, when appropriate, could chime in with her personal experience as a mother. While I was pregnant and after my son was born, Melissa was always available to answer any questions and address my many worries as they came up. What I have really valued was that she was proactive- she would reach out frequently just to make sure things were going ok. This was especially helpful in the weeks after birth as I was struggling with breastfeeding and being a new mom in general, and Melissa was able to be a sounding board for all of my concerns. I always know that I can reach out to her with seemingly trivial questions and have her validate my concerns, listen, suggest solutions, or provide additional information. Finally, Melissa was wonderful during the birth! When things started to go off plan, Melissa helped me think through and feel comfortable with what was happening. During the labor, I will never forget Melissa's cool hands and soothing words swooping in to calm both me and my husband. Somehow, in the middle of helping me labor, she was also able to take pictures on her phone of the whole birth, and the first moments of our son's life, that we will cherish forever. After the birth, she was there to help me breastfeed for the first time and stayed with us until we were ready to go to the recovery room. I recommend Melissa to anyone who is looking for a doula!
