This is my 2nd experience with Dr Cara- I had my own toes revised at her office and was super…read moreimpressed. I decided to bring my 2nd baby to her for eval and released. With this being my 2nd baby I didn't expect to need much support beyond the tie revisions and wound checks. Boy was I wrong Emily, Dr Cara, and rest of the staff were amazing and I would have given up on breastfeeding if it wasn't for all their support and encouragement. Matter of fact when baby wasn't gaining I told Emily I was just going to give her formula and her kindness and words of encouragement kept me moving along. I got a clog right a week after delivery and literally tried everything to get it out, unfortunately nothing worked and it developed into mastitis, we tried all the other things at the office (ultrasound, hospital grade pump, castor oil, sunflower lecithin) and 3 antibiotics with no luck. Dr Cara worked with her network to get me seen ASAP for aspiration which unfortunately made things worse because we found out after cultures came back I had MRSA infection and it just spread i. The next morning I contacted Emily and Dr Cara and they helped me get into a great breast specialist the next day. I definitely needed it and after they drained out much of the infection (and put in a drain) I felt much better. It's seriously been a traumatic birth and first month so their kindness, professionalism, knowledge and quick help was so appreciated. I'd recommend anyone to see them for any lactation/breastfeeding help/support needed.

If you do not necessarily believe in science, this place is for you. They recommended homeopathic…read moremedicine which is essentially diluted to the point of water and proven to be psuedoscience. They then referred me to a chiropractor for my baby (what?!). I know there are lots of woo-woo chiropractors out there so I wrote and asked if the provider was vaccinated. Jenny Dubisar of Expressions of Life Chiropractic is not Covid vaccinatined and is performing work on newborn infants. Now I wonder is AZ Breastfeeding staff is vaccinated and I'm kicking myself for not asking. Lastly their website said my insurance plan would cover services it did not, and their partner Expressions of Life is threatening me with cancellation fees for her lack of vaccination. Essentially punishing me for not wanting to put my babies life at risk. Again, if you don't care about science this is the place for you.

Erin at AZ breastfed babies is the fourth lactation consultant we have seen for our newborn (others…read morewere from different places) and after our appointment with Erin we had the best results! 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!

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Bower and her professionalism while treating my daughter. My…read moreDaughter was suffering from excessive spit, frustrating nursing sessions, difficulty with bottles, difficulty with pacifiers, in the 20th percentile for weight, throwing up at every meal, on medication for acid reflux since she was 2 months old and many many other issues. I had mastitis unfortunately and did not know all of this was related to tongue tie. With the help from a slew of professionals (Jacquline Kincer at Holistic Lactation) & ( Dr. Trobetta at Gentle Touch Chiropractic) we set up an amazing team for my daughter to have on her side. My daughter is 5 months old and was not rolling over due to her stiffness stemming from her mouth. She was on medication for "acid reflux" as prescribed by her pediatric doctor. After having body work at Gentle Touch Chiropractic and then having Dr. Bower Release my daughters ties she began to roll over and her "Acid Reflux" disappeared. We have no spit up, no throwing up of meals, no more medication and a happy baby. She is able to stick her tongue out of her mouth. I believed something was not right with my daughter and her pediatric Dr. told me any ties released would "naturally" release when she hits her face as a toddler. This outdated and terrible response to a concerned mother bothered me and Dr. Bower assured me that to prevent further issues releasing her ties would help her developmentally and wow was she right. My daughter finally fits into her clothes in her age group she isnt months behind anymore. Dr. Bower was professional and very calm when she took my daughter. She was swaddled and had homeopathic remedies that helped before and after the tie. She also showed me the stretches before the tie release and let me record her doing it so I would not forget. Everything about her was calming and inviting. She reached out to me numerous times after the procedure to make sure my daughter was progressing properly and asked for updates. I never felt alone or as if it was done and I would never see the Dr. again or have any random questions answered. I was always listened to and felt complete trust in her practice. I would recommend her over and over again to any mother struggling with their child. Even if your child is older its not too late to help them. I am so thankful she is apart of my daughters army! A decision I will never regret making.

I hired Michelle as my birth doula through Modern Mama and overall had mixed feelings about the…read moreexperience. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and I am thankful for the role she played in my birth. During transition and pushing, she offered guidance and support that was helpful in those intense final hours. I do believe she understands birth well and brings expertise to the room. That said, there were a few things that did not sit right with me. At multiple points during contractions, when I looked up, she was visibly on Facebook and Instagram. I understand that long labors can involve downtime, but she was only physically present at the hospital for a few hours during transition and pushing. Given the relatively short window of in person support, it felt disappointing and inappropriate that she was on social media during that time. It made me feel like she was not fully present in such a vulnerable moment. There were also moments where her reactions felt disproportionate, such as when the toilet water unexpectedly splashed up. Her response heightened the situation rather than helping me feel grounded and calm. In addition, I found the overall value of the package to be underwhelming compared to other doulas I interviewed. Many offered formal childbirth classes (which were extra through MM) and ongoing support groups as part of their services, whereas Modern Mama primarily offered monthly mini classes on rotating topics, which did not always feel directly relevant or comprehensive. For the investment, I had expected more structured education and support. Though I was appreciative of the nice photos that were included. I am grateful for her knowledge and the role she played in helping bring my baby into the world, but I do wish the level of presence, professionalism, and overall value had been stronger throughout the experience. I likely won't hire Modern Mama again although I don't have experience with the other doulas.

As first time parents, we found that we didn't have a true understanding of what was best to do once we brought our little guy home from the hospital. Sure - we had read a lot and had additional support to help us get ready, but with Modern Mama, we found a professional who specializes in exactly what we needed - "what does good look like?" / "what should we be doing?" / "what are we doing right/ wrong?" From the moment that Kristin walked into our door, we were met with a calm and welcoming presence that shared recommendations for getting to sleep, eat, and dressed appropriately. She shared with us what most parents do and what is truly a choice for us. What's more, she was an incredible support for my wife who was breastfeeding for the first time, encouraging her and helping her to establish appropriate techniques and set her up with pumping appropriately, which would have taken us weeks without the support. Lastly, Kristin also followed up with us multiple times after the nights that she had stayed, seeing how we were doing and following up with great resources tied to the questions that we had + other professionals that could help with some of the areas that we were looking to develop. We'd highly recommend the support from Modern Mama and specifically Kristin as a doula for and first time parents - I truly believe they were a primary reason for us to start off on the right foot at home. (For reference, we had the 3 night package for the first couple of nights at home)
