She displayed an extremely high level of compassion and genuine concern for both my and my newborn's well-being, helping us navigate issues related to engorgement, breast-milk supply, pumping, and latching. She makes herself readily available to clients, offering "real-time" troubleshooting advice via text messaging. Her support and encouragement had made all the difference for us, and I can not recommend her services more highly!

I can't recommend Maria enough! After struggling countless times to get my baby to latch--even with…read morehelp from nurses at the hospital--I was feeling discouraged. But during our session, she showed me a simple trick using a nipple shield that made an immediate difference. Beyond her expertise, what really sets Maria apart is her ongoing support. She doesn't just come for a visit and leave you in the dark. She stays in touch through text, helping troubleshoot issues and following up until we both feel another visit is necessary. Her responsiveness and dedication gave me so much confidence in my breastfeeding journey. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and truly supportive lactation consultant, Maria is the one! I'm so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to any new moms needing guidance.

Coming to health:latch and Dr Thomas was a God send, the procedure took no time at all! She was a little uncomfortable for the first few feeds but after that she eats wonderfully, is much more satisfied after a feeding and has a much deeper latch. They used a super bill as well so we were able to bill to our insurance and be paid back as well. Now at 6 months we are even happier that we did this for her long term health, its such an amazing change! Thank you so much!

Aylie was truly meant to be part of our journey as we navigated postpartum life. We feel incredibly…read morefortunate to have found her. This past summer, she supported us after the birth of our second son, and her presence immediately put me at ease. With her nurturing energy and vast experience with newborns, I trusted her with my baby completely--probably even more than I trusted my own husband (sorry, babe!). From the moment she arrived, our little one felt completely safe in her care. What sets Aylie apart is her ability to anticipate needs without ever being asked--whether it's loading dirty dishes into the dishwasher or folding the mountain of laundry lingering in the corner. She is completely nonjudgmental during such a vulnerable time (did I mention the piles of laundry and unmade beds?), and has an intuitive way of making everything feel more manageable and smooth. If you're lucky enough to have Aylie as your postpartum Doula, I promise she will make your experience 10 times better. P.S. It's a major bonus that Aylie is DONA certified and covered by Carrot Fertility for postpartum Doula support!

We hired Aylie Millar pretty quickly- our interview with her automatically felt comfortable and…read moresafe and she just felt like a good fit. And what a great choice she was! Aylie is a consummate professional and a person whose peaceful energy and quiet confidence I can only hope to match someday. Aylie did a home visit before our little one arrived, which allowed us to touch base on her methods and everyone's expectations. She reiterated that she was here to help- whether that was with the baby or with chores or whatever else we needed that fell within the contract. Once our baby was born, she coordinated times throughout the week that she could come by. We tended to ask her to come in for a few hours in the morning. Among the things she helped us with were chores (I don't think we had a concept of how quickly laundry would pile up for us!) and caring for the baby while we got in some self-care. Often, that would cover us while we showered or got in a much-needed nap. More important than anything else, more than the very useful cleaning and tidying, more than the holding and soothing of our baby while we took care of other things, was the peace of mind that Aylie provided. As first-time parents, we had so many questions. Some of these we would text her and some we would write down to ask her about. In this way, she helped us develop confidence and skills. She coached us through babywearing with a wrap and through our baby's first bath. She also helped me troubleshoot breastfeeding. She has so much expertise and it was by far the thing I found most valuable about this experience. Aylie is a wonderful human being and an exemplary postpartum doula. I highly recommend her services to anybody- new or experienced parents!

Since the procedures, my newborn has been feeding great and gaining weight, and the several follow up appointments have been just as good, Emily provided techniques on different positions, how to adjust the latch, and queues for when baby is done eating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fern Lactation! They are just great people and glad they were apart of my postpartum experience! Furthermore, the scheduling process was great! They were able to text to help set up appointments and made it so streamlined and less stressful! THANK YOU!

Her office is so clean and cozy, and from the first second, Emily was extremely warm and welcoming.

She always includes my partner in the appointment and our results were instant. I am now able to breastfeed the way that I wanted and also in a way that works best for our lifestyle and we have continued to evolve with each appointment. I highly recommend Emily, she is so kind and compassionate and she gets the desired results for your breast/chest feeding journey.

After waiting for 2 1/2 weeks for items to arrive, I got into my appointment 40 minutes after the scheduled appointment time, wrong sizes, gal didn't remember what she had set aside for me because they were mixed in with other items, no clue how to fit a bra cup size with or without a prosthesis.

She got several sessions of cranio sacral therapy and it worked like magic! It does take a few sessions before you can see the results. I am forever grateful to Dr. Karin for helping my grandmother feel better. I also got cranio sacral and chiro done with Dr. Karin for myself. I didn't have anything bothering me per se, except maybe my stiff back and some back pain, and Dr. Karin made me feel SO much better. The biggest difference I see is my general well being. This may sound strange, but I haven't been really listening to music for the past few years now. After getting cranio done, I started wanting to listen to music again which in turn made me feel even better and created new inspirations in my life. It's like she removed some "blockages" in my system. When you get cranio done, you can "feel" it in your body and this experience is hard to explain, but it's very positive and very real. Dr. Karin is very knowledgeable and explains all of the anatomical processes during cranio and chrio. I will absolutely be back for follow up treatments and highly recommend her to patients of all ages.

Pregnant and postpartum moms - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY…read more We signed up for doulas for 12 weeks while I was pregnant and put down the deposit (roughly $10k). Our needs changed postpartum and when we went to update our timeline we were told that the deposit we put down would not be applied to the updated timeline - basically we were asking for $8k in services and even though we had already paid $10k we were told that we still needed to pay more. They quoted the handbook which was not noted in the contract we signed and we were never told of this "policy" while interviewing or signing the contract. We received the handbook after we had signed the contract. We worked out an agreement after pointing out how ridiculous this was and we felt it was still worth it to move forward as we were hopeful that they would provide the services they promised. Over the course of four visits we had two different doulas. Both were very polite and nice but had totally different levels of care. The first doula set timers on her phone to wake up and check on our daughter as well as wake and bring her to feed so that she didn't go too long without eating. As a mom that is EBF this was immensely helpful and she was great to work with. The second doula was polite but did not take care of our daughter. She slept so deeply that did not wake during my daughter's feeding cues/crying. I awoke to engorged breasts and when I checked the monitor I could see my daughter fussing in her bassinet while the doula slept on. I also saw that she had set the temperature of the room to 74 degrees. For a 6 week old that can't regulate heat this was VERY concerning. I went to wake my husband to figure out how we could change it to a safe temperature and then went downstairs and woke the doula while getting my daughter from the bassinet. My daughter was so overheated that she could barely finish one side even though she regularly finishes both. While I was feeding her, this doula fell asleep again and when I brought my daughter back she did not wake to me entering the room- I changed my daughter's diaper and only after returning with a light on did she wake up. We were scheduled to have her for the next month and my husband and I did not feel comfortable leaving our child in her care again. When I emailed the company to cancel (on a Thursday with our next visit being a Monday), I received an OOO message from Lynette Wilson the Director of Operations. The following day (Friday) I forwarded the message to the scheduling team and did not receive a response. When Lynette returned that following Monday she did not ask why we were suddenly cancelling but did try to tell us that she was going to charge us for not cancelling 24 hours before the shift even though the message was sent several days before. Only after I was able to get Lynette on the phone (you cannot contact anyone in the office directly) did she relent. I also brought up the concerns with the doula - again she did not once ask why. She did not seem to care or bother to offer solutions but rather wanted to end the conversation. We've spent $10k+ for 4 nights. Pregnant and postpartum moms - this company does not care about you or your child. Their team of overnight doulas is sporadic in their level of care and created an unsafe environment for my child. This company only cares about squeezing you for money during one of the most stressful and vulnerable times of your life.
