Safiya was truly a lifesaver for us. We had a very rough start with breastfeeding, my wife was in a lot of pain due to latch and tongue tie issues, and by three weeks our baby was mostly bottle-fed. From the very first session, Safiya was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. She took the time to walk us through different techniques and, more importantly, gave my wife the confidence that she could do this. Within just a few sessions, our baby became predominantly breastfed, and we're now comfortably working bottles back in. Breastfeeding would have remained a distant dream for us if not for Safiya and Simply Lactation. We're extremely grateful and would highly recommend her to any new parents struggling early on. read more

Let me just say Venessa is heaven sent! She is amazing at what she does. As a first time mom with a son who has both a lip tie and tongue tie, I was very discouraged and disappointed with the struggles of latching my baby. Not only did she fix it almost instantly but she gave me knowledgeable information on other issues that always ended up working without a doubt. She assisted me in so many ways when it came to being a first time mom and always encouraged me and reminded me of how well I am doing. God bless you Venessa! read more

Hiliary was amazing! She came out a few different times to my house because I was having difficulty with latching. I was able to confidently get my daughter to latch due to Hilary provide assistance and reassuring me throughout the process. I would also send her a message and she would get back to me immediately. She also provides remote sessions if there are questions you need answered and feel more comfortable with talking to her rather than texting. read more

Hilary was very helpful and came up with many solutions to tackle problems I was having. Simple and easy to schedule and very responsive!

Highly recommend!!! Safiya helped me so much get a good routine and plan in place for exclusive pumping. There was zero judgment when I told her I didn't want to nurse anymore and only pump. Safiya helps with sooo much more than just latching so if you're on the fence about needing help, just make the appt girl read more

Dawn was so helpful and very knowledgeable. I had a ton of questions on breastfeeding and pumping, and she answered each one with thorough explanations behind each answer. She was so sweet with me and my newborn during a stressful time and gave me reassurance that we were doing things right and recommended what to improve. So easy to have her come to the house too. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely incredibly service! My wife spent days in pain trying to pump/breastfeed our newborn and eventually we came across Simple Lactation.

Looking forward to their follow-up communication and visit in the future. They are a GREAT service, readily available and incredibly affordable. read more

Safiya is very knowledgeable and kind. She knew very quickly what my issue was and gave me simple steps and the confidence to fix it.

Safiya is amazing! She is extremely accommodating, very knowledgeable, and so kind and patient. I was getting ready to possibly give up and Safiya has given me resources and the confidence to continue. She was also able to diagnose a lip and a tongue tie that had been missed by my sons pediatrician.

It's hard to find people in this day and age that are not solely driven by money. I called Safiya with concerns about lactation, and she helped with pointers to increase my supply over the phone (mind you we never met before), she also sent me some great resources. I thought she was going to charge me but she didn't - she simply helped me. She was very knowledgeable, polite and kind. I couldn't be more grateful. You were so resourceful Safiya - we need more people like you in today's world. read more

I cannot even find the words to express how thankful I am for all your help Ms. Safiya! When I was just about to give up due to my frustrations, you restored the strong conviction I had about breastfeeding. I was at wits end! I am so glad I found you otherwise I would have walked away from this whole ordeal. Again, I will forever be grateful for everything you've taught me. Breastfeeding is such a pleasurable bonding moment with my son, and that is because of you, thank you!!! read more

Safiya came to see us when I was at the end of my rope. I am a first time mom and also had a breast reduction and lift done in 2012. I had never planned on having a baby and breastfeeding wasn't even something that crossed my mind then. Well, then life happened. Met my soul mate and we got pregnant two wks after our wedding. I was devastated at our 2wk checkup when my son hadn't gained his birth weight back. I was trying so hard and researching everything. Three wks later I called Simply Lactation and they sent Safiya just two days later. She gave me exactly what I needed. Support. Confirmation. She praised all my hard work and gave me the confidence I needed to keep fighting for our breastfeeding goals. She evaluated my sons tongue and lip ties and did two weighted feeds for us. Her knowledge, patience and understanding were invaluable. I would recommend her to any mom. read more

Safiya is incredible! She made herself available to my son and I as soon as she could (even over the weekend and after hours) and gave recommendations over the phone, before she showed up at my door. She could hear my desperate need for help but never once made me feel like I was being dramatic. Instead, she listened carefully and gave her best tips until she could stop by for a visit. Once she did make her visit, she was kind, nurturing and empathetic to my lactation issues. Safiya gave me feedback, offered new ways to feel more comfortable and even scientific context for some of her suggestions. She made me feel empowered as she walked out the door. Moms out there, HIRE HER! Don't be a skeptic about needing a Lactaction consultant like I was. Safiya will definitely help with any issues to make breastfeeding a positive experience! read more

I really want to think Safiya for come in when she did because I was succesfull from a enlarge breast and cracked nipples and my nipples was too big for flanges on my pump and didnt know what size i was and at this point ready to give up But Safiya come and show me how to compass myself and she was also able find the right size flange and get them the same day because they dont sale my size in store thank you so much read more

Safiya helped me as a new mom of twins with several breastfeeding obstacles. The twins were born slightly early, fatigued with jaundice, and had tongue and lip ties that prevented proper latching. I also had low milk supply issues to work through. I realized the babies were not getting enough milk and was extremely worried and frustrated. Safiya provided in-home consults, which was important, as I would have had trouble getting out with 2 newborns. She took the time needed to observe and review our situation and make recommendations and provide hands-on training that was specific to our family's needs. Safiya was calm, caring, and knowledgeable. I don't think I would have made the progress we did without her help. We are very grateful for the help she provided us. I highly recommend her. read more

The consultation with Safiya was a life-changing experience. I was about to give up on breastfeeding my baby, which was going to be sad for me because my newborn son was so eager to latch on and breastfeed. However, since I did not know the proper technique to latch him on, my nipples had been badly traumatized with gashes and bleeding. I was very apprehensive about continuing breastfeeding and was going to just pump the milk and bottle-feed the baby, as I had done for my first child since he had difficulty latching as well. My husband contacted Simply Lactation and Safiya came over for the consultation. She was very calm, focused, and patient with me. She could clearly see that I was full of fear of being further injured. She set small goals and helped me through feeding my son and that feeding was a success. She also examined my son's tongue for tongue-tie and she mentioned that he had some and we should get it further evaluated. She referred us to a doctor in The Medical Center. Getting the procedure done to correct the tongue-tie was very simple but it changed everything for breastfeeding my son. His latch improved significantly so that he is feeding much more efficiently and it drastically reduced my pain level. If Safiya had not taught me the correct technique and had not made us aware of the tongue-tie, I would have given up by now. But, I have breastfed my son for a week now and I hope to continue doing it as long as I can. Safiya was accessible by phone and text after the consultation and she continued to answer all our questions and get us through further obstacles this week. Safiya is a blessing, and don't think twice about calling her if you are having breastfeeding issues, just go ahead and do it! You will never regret it!!! read more
