Sima was wonderful! This was my 3rd baby. I had never used an in-home lactation consultant before…read moreand wish I would have with all three children. Sima was warm, friendly, and professional. She immediately let me know the things I was doing right. She also helped me with some issues I was having with my newborn including: --Newborn being up all night and sleeping during the day. Her tips helped the baby move into a daytime routine. --Incorporated my husband by teaching him to use an eye dropper and ensuring to feed the newborn only when she is sucking. This allowed me some MUCH needed extra sleep. I no longer feel like I'm in this alone. --Newborn wanted to feed for over an hour. The newborn still cluster feeds; however, her advise helped me recognize when the baby was actually hungry vs. comforting herself. This aided significantly in cutting down the amount of time she is up at night --Nipple discomfort and soreness. I have cracked and bleeding nipples. She gave me recommendations on how I can promote healing and lower pain. She also has a nipple cream in her arsenal that helps with recovery. --Newborn biting. She gave me tips on how to educate the baby not to bite during breastfeeding Overall, having Sima come to my house was a positive change for myself and the rest of my family. It took only a couple of days using her advice to feel more like myself instead of an exhausted, inpatient, and sore Mom. Granted, the newborn is only 1 week old. I don't expect her to sleep through the night; however, Sima helped in getting me 3-4 hour blocks of sleep instead of an hour here and there. It's life changing. Sima is absolutely wonderful. I will recommend her to everyone I know having any type of issue with breastfeeding.

I worked with Sima at A Mothers Touch and had a great experience! Her support and recommendations…read morehelped my son and I get back on track with breastfeeding. She was incredibly gentle with both mom and baby, was not judgmental and made small tweaks instead of major changes that would be hard to implement. Sima is easy to get in touch with through phone or text and her personal follow ups after the session let you know she really cares about her clients. I am a second time mom and originally thought we wouldn't need a Lactation consultant again but every baby is different and I'm so glad we got in touch with Sima.

I'm so glad places like the Mama Hub exist - what a tremendous and much needed resource here in…read moreDetroit. They have weekly classes and get-togethers, as well as pop-up events, all the with aim of providing space and connection for parents. During my little's first three months, I attended their Mama Circles and their breastfeeding support group. Both of these groups were super supportive and non-judgmental, and allowed me, a first-time parent, to ask all the little questions that I had about raising a human. Plus, they usually had great snacks at these groups. Now, as my little is over a year old (cue sobs), I get to utilize their new space in a different way: fun classes! We've checked out their Bilingual Storytime and Rhythm/Motion classes; both classes were thoughtfully executed and engaging. Parenting is hard, and googling stuff on the interwebs just isn't the same as having a good conversation with a fellow parent who is going through the same ish that you are. This is why the Mama Hub is so great - you get to share in the experience and make some new friends in the process. Thanks, Alex & Jalyn!

We chose to…read moreuse her services when our second child was demonstrating a few issues - she was wonderful to work with. First, I used her website to submit a request for consultation at 3 AM (newborn!) she emailed me back by 8 am with a few opportunities to meet. She came to my house, weighed the baby, did an interview with me and then I demonstrated nursing where she showed me a number of holds, resources and tools to use to help my baby. She was calm, funny and very at ease with my baby - I learned a lot from her. She offered her services throughout our nursing career via email and phone at no charge (unless she needed to come do a home visit again) Highly recommend her services to any breastfeeding mother.

The place now called Optalis is the worst! The staff yells down the halls to each other, and ignores patients; twice i had to go there in person to get my mom assistance after her requesting it. Unfortunately, while looking fora new place she got sick and had to leave via ambulance to the hospital where she spent another week recovering from her 10 days at Optalis. BTW, there is no doctor on the property; nurses consult via phone, if he can be reached; their words no mine. my complaints to admin were not addressed! Under no circumstances would I ever recommend you send a loved one there; especially one who cannot advocate for themselves!!!!! This is not a place of peace and healing. far too much neglect and excuses. I heard "No one told me that, or its not her chart", so many times, i kept to yes or no questions. As a final note, you can observe that the room accommodations are old and worn out. The beds are antiquated and the lockers were recycled from another place, as they have not tops on them and appear out of place. The rooms never have chairs for visitors and the bedding and towels are all threadbare and rough. My mom's personal blanket was "lost" even though she is bedridden. I wanted to ensure an accurate CURRENT experience was listed for this place. I wish i could have left a great review, but that would require my mom healing there, not being carted off, in worse physical shape through neglect, in an ambulance. BTW, only once while discussing lack of consistent care did any of the staff provided directions to the proper channels to complain. The place is simply awful and should not be allowed to care for the infirmed.
