My postpartum experience started off a bit rocky, and Desiree came in with such a fantastic, calm, and knowledgeable demeanor. You can tell she is the best in the business, an expert and has great passion for her work. She has been there for all of my many questions, and our baby is a fantastic sleeper, since about 6 weeks old. It completely changed our experience with our first baby for all the better. Our baby is happy, healthy and well rested! Thank you Desiree.

I was FINALLY able to get my baby to nurse at home after seeing her and was beyond elated as I had not once been successful at home before this. She gave less complicated techniques that worked for me and she has a messaging system that I have used - she's so responsive. The office is also so cute and clean! I have an appointment with a different consultant next week that will visit our home. Also - Erin did not say the only way to latch was to get a tongue tie procedure like others. While we are open to getting the procedure, she wasn't so pushy about it and gave us lots of supplemental information. Thank you, Erin!

Most…read moreoften, if you have insurance you get unlimited free visits to the Milk Spot since it is "preventative care." I saw Jacquline several times and she became my friend. She is so knowledgeable and helped me with my nipple pain, helped me practice nursing positions, and measured my falange size for a comfortable pumping experience. But most of all she gave me so much confidence. I'm so thankful for the amount of times she paused to tell me, "Wow. You are such a good mom." I needed that just as much as all the practical knowledge she shared with me. I'm really blessed that she was a part of me and my baby's nursing journey. The office is located in an adorable old Phoenix house that smells like essential oils. And they have a moms group that meets every Wednesday!

This is my first child so breastfeeding was way more difficult than anyone has ever told me it would be. Started out working on getting my milk supply in, getting baby back up to her birth weight & with her lip & tongue restrictions. A dentist come to the office & used a laser to "clip" them which helped with the latch & milk transfer. Dana was great! She was more concerned & caring about baby & I than even my pediatrician!

I don't normally write reviews, but Jacqueline has been such a phenomenal resource I had to share…read moremy recommendation. She is professional, extremely knowledgeable, supportive and caring. She makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk into her office. My own personal experience started when Jacqueline was able to identify a tongue, lip and buccal ties on my 2 week old son. She provided me with a plan, exercises, pain protocols and multiple doctor recommendations to give me everything I needed to support my son. For a sleep deprived mama, it was so helpful! She gave me a detailed write up of our visit which was easy to follow. Because of Jacqueline's attention to detail, I was able to incorporate bodywork prior to the revision, feel confident following a homeopathic healing and pain protocol and confidently execute all the exercises and stretches following the revision. She was always available to ease my mind following the procedure as well. I believe the success of revisions rests heavily on the parents shoulders. You have to do it all. You need the right team of 3- a great IBCLC, a knowledgeable chiropractor to do bodywork and someone to do the revision itself. You also need to follow through with follow up appointments and commit to doing ALL the exercises and stretches. Jacqueline is a great team lead to help you manage it all! Not only is Jacqueline great, scheduling is easy, the location is convenient (with easy parking) and her office is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend her!

However, these were not working for us. We called the store we purchased the car seats from and they highly recommend Brent as a certified car seat installer. 50-70% of car seats aren't installed properly. You can't put a price tag on your children's safety. It was a very reasonable price. He did an assessment of our van, told us the best configuration for the infant seats along with our son's booster seat, and walked us step-by-step through the installation. Well worth it!

I want to start off by saying that I received lovely midwifery care from Erin, Kassie, and Chynna…read more If I still lived in AZ I would return there for future prenatal care. That being said, there are a few things I've reflected on from my time at Blossom and I have recalled a couple experiences that left me feeling uncertain and hurt. I had desired to reduce ultrasound exposure to my baby as much as possible, so I had agreed to the 20wk anatomy scan and a position check around 30wks. I requested that the fetoscope be used rather than Doppler and that no other unnecessary ultrasounds be done. I met HEAVY resistance to this request from each midwife, but particularly from Kassie who pushed my boundaries in an unprofessional way and she came off very judgmental. Rather than explaining risks AND benefits, I felt ostracized, especially when I said "is this okay" and Kassie said "well, no", but with NO ability to explain ultrasound risks to me in an articulate or evidence-based way. I truly am sharing this experience to help Blossom consider a different way to approach something like this if it arises in the future. I ended up having a hospital birth with Kassie and she truly was an amazing midwife, so supportive and a great advocate. One other issue was that after my birth my placenta was sent to pathology because of some concerns about it. Chynna told me about this in my postpartum checkup, but I was never given the report to look over for myself, and she had said that Dr. Nichelle would reach out to me via phone call to review it which didn't happen. Dr. Nichelle was also incredible during my birth and I'm thankful for her care. Again, my perinatal care from Blossom overall was excellent and I wish I had been proactive to address these issues with the midwives in person, but I also feel that it is good to share my experiences for others to know what care is like at Blossom. I do truly believe that each of these midwives care about you and your baby's safety and desire for you to have the birth you want! There is certainly more freedom in your care here than at a hospital! Thank you to my midwives and to Blossom for my experience. I look back on it fondly.
