Rosemary is an absolute gem. I reached out to her late in the evening, desperately needing help…read morewith early mastitis and severe engorgement just four days after giving birth. To my amazement, she came out to my home at 10 PM and stayed for nearly four hours -- patiently working with me until I was comfortable, confident, and set up for success. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but also so down-to-earth and personable, which made an overwhelming and stressful situation feel much more manageable. Even after the visit, Rosemary continues to check in and offers support via text whenever I have additional questions -- whether it's about my own recovery or ensuring that my son is feeding properly. I truly don't know what I would have done without her help during such a critical time. If you're in need of lactation support, I cannot recommend Rosemary highly enough!

Thankfully, my sister recommended Rosemary to us and she saved us from resorting to using formula, which I was very against. She not only came to the comfort of our home and helped us with the process, but she was very patient and highly informative with knowledge regarding our baby's development and a proper approach in how to get our baby to latch onto his mom's breast. I highly recommend contacting Rosemary if you are in the same position my wire and I were. You will definitely not regret it!

I can't recommend Sara enough! I was struggling with breastfeeding and experiencing so much pain…read morethat I stopped breastfeeding altogether and began exclusively pumping. Sara was kind, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made me feel like I wasn't the problem and reassured me that breastfeeding challenges are completely normal. Instead of only focusing on my baby's latch, she took the time to identify that my baby was also having sucking issues. She patiently worked with both of us, showed me exercises to improve my baby's sucking, and taught me how to achieve a deeper, more comfortable latch. She also took the time to make sure I was using my breast pump correctly, helped me find the right flange size, and explained why it made such a difference. She reassured me that I didn't have to push through severe pain while breastfeeding and that it was okay to give my body time to heal. She created a plan that allowed me to continue protecting and building my milk supply while gradually working toward comfortable breastfeeding. Thanks to her guidance, I'm finally able to breastfeed with little to no pain. I'm incredibly grateful for her kindness, expertise, and genuine care. She truly goes above and beyond to support both moms and their babies, and I highly recommend her to any new mom looking for compassionate and effective lactation support.

Highly recommend her and would sign up for one of her sessions again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I found her through Yelp and had a great time in her Lamaze class and early infant class. Sharon was so welcoming and made the experience as first time parents so special for us and eased a lot of our anxiety. I don't think I would have been as mentally prepared as I was if I did not take her classes. I would even say emotionally too because I had to do a lot of healing with losing my first angel. Thank you so much Sharon. Our little Rami is doing wonderful. You were such a great impact on our journey as first time parents and have our upmost respect. Please keep doing what you're doing because first time parents really need you!

My Postpartum Doula Workshop experience was truly life changing. It was positive, eye opening,…read moreinspiring, and, at times, overwhelming in the very best way. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in such a safe, welcoming space. The energy was incredible, and being surrounded by such a wonderful group of women made the experience even more special. There was so much learning, sharing, encouragement, and connection. And Kathrin, our trainer, was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge, passion, the way she guided us through the workshop made such an impact on me. She created an environment where I felt comfortable learning and truly taking in everything this beautiful work has to offer. Honestly, I would do this workshop all over again not because I needed to, but because I would love to experience that same energy and connection with another group of women. Every group brings something different, and I can only imagine how beautiful each experience can be. I highly recommend Kathrin's Postpartum Doula Workshop to anyone who is interested in becoming a postpartum doula. It is an experience I will carry with me as I begin this new chapter. Lizette

I don't know how I would have survived my pregnancy or birth without Jaquelin's help!! From the…read morebeginning of our relationship (while I was still pregnant), she was very supportive and helped me learn more about what I was going through via personal meetings, phone calls, email & web articles. She has a very calm and attentive nature (and I love her South African accent!) During my labor & delivery (32.5 hours!) her assistance was invaluable, since my husband did not want to be in the room at all - since he was afraid of passing out...lol! She knows what she is doing to keep you and your family comfortable and to move the process along. I don't remember a lot about that weekend as I was exhuasted, in pain, & eventually took some drugs to help with the pain, so it was great to have Jaquelin's story of my birth, with all of her notes! She also took some still photos with my camera, so I would remember this important moment in my life! If you are even thinking of hiring a doula, look no further! Her postpartum visit was also very nice & I can honestly say that she was much more than just another body in the delivery room...I now consider her a family friend and we stay in touch often. She is well worth the money that she charges for her services...I only wished that insurance would cover it. Either way, if I did it again, I would still use her. She made the whole experience as comfortable as it could be! :)

Especially when C sections and medical interventions are at their highest. I was told to do some research on how to avoid unnecessary C sections and this eventually led me to a doula. I was planning to move back home to California from Florida. I looked up doulas in the area. When Jaquilin returned my phone call I was a mess and nervous over becoming a new mom & screwing it up! She brought peace to my heart answered ALL my questions which brought hope for what was about to come. I was not sure if I could even hire a doula and still living in Florida at the time. I can remember standing in one the isles of a grocery store in Florida. I was so concerned over fish oil in DHA inside the prenatal vitamins. I called Jaquilin, feeling silly because she hadn't been hired yet, but she returned my phone call over such a silly question like that or, "I ran out of my prenatal vitamins and it's only been 2 days. I'm worried about the baby!" She was there and helped bring peace to me! I knew then, standing in the middle of the store that she was the doula for me! I moved back to California, finally at 7 months. When I hired Jaquilin and started the lamaze classes with her they were intimate, small and fun. Very "homie". As well as extremely informative. I felt free to ask any questions. Any! Our choice for birth was for it to be all natural, but in a hospital (we chose the UCLA midwives Westwood. Also an A+ experience) As I'm writing, I'm thinking there is just too many wonderful things and experiences with jacqueline to to say! So I'm writing a list of the 1st ten things hat come to mind below!! My experience far superseded what I paid for and what I expected. I have the most memorable, REAL and intentional birth to thank from her support! 1. She was there for me after the birth, more than she "should" have. In regards to me being at risk for post Partum depression. Supported me all the way through & called in to check up on and make sure I made the phone calls I needed. 2. Jaquilin came over at exactly the right time during my labor. Supported me in all the ways I wanted and needed in order to move into active labor and through the pain. 3. Helped me with my birth plan and met me For walks in the park. 4. Helped me find organic and holistic approaches to many things. 5. The birth!!!! The birth was exactly what I asked for. Exactly!!!! She believed in me the whole time and I in turn believed in my bodies ability to do exactly what it needed to do. 6. I used her experience and knowledge with birth as my guide. I needed her to know when I was ready to go the hospital (I know I would have gone way to soon if I didn't have her!) and because of that there was no need for the hospital to do "hospital things" I was ready! 7. I showed up at 7 centimeters. (All the nurses and the midwives were impressed) I couldn't have done that without the support from my doula Jaquilin. 8. An hour after arriving I gave birth to Liam! Beautiful, all natural, healthy and strong! 9. She was there the whole way through, to the end & then some. 10. I didn't receive any narcotics or epidural. No medical interventions. I was aware. My birth was intentional and I was empowered. Thank you Jaquilin for helping me achieve the birth I was meant to have

Carrie was a miracle worker. My wife and I had to start our newborn daughter off with formula at…read morethe hospital, and when we got home we tried to do an immediate transition to breastfeeding. And thus began the most hellish 24 hour period of our lives. My wife would spend hours trying to breastfeed, and we just plain didn't know what we were doing. Our daughter would struggle with latching and become frustrated and combative. When she did latch, we didn't know if she was getting any milk. Each feeding went like this, with our daughter becoming progressively poorly fed and more distressed. Feedings became lessons in frustration with ourselves and our daughter became so irritable and upset that she would fight us during changings, feedings, and nap times. She was screaming, kicking her legs, red in the face, pretty much non-stop. It was horrible for our mental and emotional health, and the next day we were drained and at the breaking point. We knew we needed help. We were fortunate enough to find Carrie online, and when we contacted her she responded immediately and saw us within the next couple hours. She arrived at our home for a consultation and spent the first hour just asking questions, observing how we fed our daughter, and learning about our and our daughter's needs. After that, she spent the next hour giving us pointers and showing us correct feeding technique, answering all of our questions about nutrition, feeding patterns, bottle feeding vs breastfeeding, and helping us craft an overall feeding strategy. This allowed us to gently transition from formula to breastmilk over the course of a few days, teaching our daughter the right habits for latching and feeding, and teaching us the right mentality and approach so we had the right expectations for ourselves and for her. Within a couple days, our daughter was on a healthy schedule of feeding at the breast, topped off with a few milliliters of formula to ensure she was full and getting enough nutrition. A few days after that, and my wife was able to fully feed our daughter using breastmilk alone AND she was able to produce enough milk with the pump to build up a surplus. This was such a night-and-day change that we almost couldn't believe it! Carrie, thank you so much for your coaching and your support. You've been there for us at all hours. Your advice is a perfect blend of goal-setting and pragmatism. Your calming presence in this process has meant so much to us. You're the best!!

She came over twice to help me, and she was so supportive and kind. Exactly what a new Mom needs. She also explained the technique in a way that finally made sense (other LC's were confusing.)

It's such a vulnerable time, and breastfeeding can be such an emotionally loaded challenge for so many women. I'm grateful I had Carrie to help us on this journey and to meet our breastfeeding goals.
