    Leah is all around an amazing doula to work with! She is knowledgeable, patient, calming, and…read moreoffers great advice to new parents during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I knew from the first introductory phone call with her that she was the perfect fit for my needs. My review will go into detail on my labor and delivery experience and how having Leah made all the difference. If you purchase the L&D inclusive package, Leah's prenatal lessons are split up into three sessions so that there is no information overload. Since my pregnancy occurred during a time when all prenatal classes were converted to virtual web based lessons (COVID concerns), having Leah come to our house and show us ball exercises and techniques in person was really helpful for both me and my husband. I went into early labor which lasted for almost a week (baby was late). It was very painful for me with an extremely itchy belly and contractions keeping me up at night. I was in tears at one point just wanting to go to the hospital, and it was helpful to call Leah to consult with her what I should do. She calmed me down, talked me through my options, understood (from my tone) my pain level, and offered positive encouragement to remind me not to give up. Eventually, I found out via a blood test that I had a liver bile complication (cholestasis) which required me to head to the hospital on short notice for an induction. Luckily Kaiser allowed two support people (protocol as of early December 2021), so when I went into active labor, Leah was allowed in the delivery room with me. Without prompting she started massaging my legs/neck/shoulders, tied back my hair, and put a towel on my forehead to help relax me. I chose to go with an epidural, so each time I needed to flip over (so that the medication doesn't pool on one side of your spinal cord), Leah would help adjust the peanut ball to be comfortable so that I could keep on laboring until it was time to push. At a critical point after two hours of pushing, the doctors told me I needed to make a choice between vacuum assist or a C Section, both of which were undesirable to me. There must have been 15 nurses and doctors swarming in my room all trying to talk to me at one time while I was trying to make a decision. Leah helped by offering a middle ground option for me to try pushing in different positions first because she sensed my hesitation to go forward with only those two options. In the very end, I still had to go with vacuum assist, but if not for the extra pushes in other positions, the vacuum attempts would have failed and I would have needed to go to the operating room. Without Leah advocating for us, my husband and I would have likely just listened to the doctor and I probably would have needed the C Section, so I'm very grateful Leah was there to intervene in a sensitive way that didn't undermine the doctors professional judgment. I also purchased postpartum visits from Leah and she is an absolute gem when it comes to being supportive of all the things a new mom is trying to figure out in the first month postpartum. She is like a baby whisperer, always knows how to calm down my newborn (he loves to fuss and cry when it's just my husband and I). I'm very grateful to her for helping with household chores, giving me time to take a nap, watching the baby, and even bringing us hot meals. She also showed us how to give infant massages and a mind-blowing way to change diapers with no hassle and no more messy blowouts. Please trust me when I say Leah is a superstar! You will not regret working with her.

We…read moreweren't sure about having a doula at first, but we heard how beneficial they can be to your delivery and we wanted to learn more. Leah met us at our house for a consultation and a friendly chat. We knew immediately that she would be a great fit for our family. Leah helped us feel comfortable and she showed genuine interest in getting to know us and our expectations for the birth experience. She was warm and kind, but we could tell she would be able to stand up for us if necessary. We especially appreciated Leah's philosophy of healthy mom and healthy baby, whatever it takes. We knew she would be an advocate for our birth plan no matter what. Leah helped make our delivery more comfortable and calm. She provided guidance for my husband and encouragement for me. She came super prepared and stayed with me the entire time to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. She tirelessly supported me emotionally and physically through her words and massage throughout my labor. We were so pleased with our birth experience and we owe so much of that to Leah. After the big day, she came by a few times in order to check on us and show us how to use things like the breast pump and baby carriers (and also get baby cuddles). She's been available to help us with any questions we have had. It was so helpful to have her as a part of our team and we strongly recommend any nervous parents-to-be to think of including her in theirs. We would definitely ask for Leah's help again!

From the very beginning, she approached everything with so much compassion, patience, professionalism, and genuine care for our family's unique needs. What I especially appreciated was how personalized her guidance was. Our twins have had different feeding journeys since birth, and Chelsea truly listened and met each baby (and me!) where we were without judgment or a one-size-fits-all approach. Her expertise made such a meaningful difference for all of us. She suggested transitioning to a different bottle when the twins were eating very slowly and tiring themselves out before finishing feeds, and the new bottles were an absolute game changer. She also properly resized me for pumping flanges, which immediately improved both comfort and milk output. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable, Chelsea is simply a lovely human being. She's warm, sweet, reassuring, and makes you feel supported during what can be such a vulnerable, emotional and exhausting season of parenthood. I am so grateful to have found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family, especially fellow twin parents navigating complex feeding journeys.

My only wish is I would have been introduced to her sooner, as it probably would have struggled a whole lot less. In addition to her attentiveness during the appointment, I appreciated the follow up to check in to confirm all was going well!

From latch, to clearing out my clogged ducts, engorgement, fears that Vivi wasn't getting enough milk, getting comfort and confidence. Allison was on speed dial and always there for me with the best advice backed with kindness and joy. Her love of babies and supporting mamas spills over. I recommend her to all of the new mamas and so thrilled to have had her shotgun through this journey. Side note for anyone reading this: If you are looking for a lactation consultant - know that this journey is not easy, but sooooo worth it and it will get easier with time. You got this mama!!!

We started with a…read morepre-baby lactation consult to help me really understand the basics of breastfeeding, what to expect, what to ask for in the hospital, etc. she sent me videos and detailed notes post call so that I had all of this on hand when the time came which made me feel very confident going into birth. My baby was born with both lip and tongue ties and was having an incredibly challenging time feeding. I texted Allison and she came over in an instant with a calm and helpful demeanor to see how my baby was latching, show me different positions and assist me with those, help me set up my feeding areas to be comfortable, told me about nipple shields and how those can help with the pain in the interim, guided me with suggestions for my mental and physical well being during challenging times, showed me how to use my pump given I had to go on nipple rest while we got my daughters ties snipped to allow my breasts to heal - but gave me the confidence in all of these new and challenging areas to continue moving forward in the best way I could. She was so encouraging, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the process it always made me not want her to leave (haha) because I felt so at ease and peaceful with her presence around. After 2 in person sessions post birth, my baby was breastfeeding like a champ. I cried tears of joy being able to feed my baby thanks to Allison's guidance and expertise. I know I will continue to lean on her and have her support me and my feeding journey for years to come with more babies, too. Cant recommend her enough! It's been almost 3 months of successful breastfeeding and my journey is far from over, but if it weren't for Allison I probably would have quit up front. I appreciate you so much, Allison!

I…read morewas 2 weeks postpartum, having so much difficulty with latching and the discomfort/pain which led me to feeling pretty hopeless with breastfeeding. And breastfeeding is one of the most challenging things as a FTM on top of everything else moms have to go through the first few weeks. It really took a toll on me. Once I got to talk to her, she gave me so much helpful advice over the phone and I instantly felt encouraged to keep pushing with breastfeeding and luckily I was able to see her the following day as well. I've seen her for a total of 3 times so far and each session she's helped me gain confidence, taught my husband and I so much, and helped me understand so much. With her careful assessment, we learned our baby had a tongue tie which helped us seek further help because this can cause pain with breastfeeding. Every time after we saw Gail for an appointment, things slowly started to get better with breastfeeding and I'm so happy we found her through my OB's recommendation. I am now 5 weeks postpartum and although it was a difficult journey, breastfeeding is much more enjoyable now. (Started to feel this transition actually after 3 weeks but this can vary for everyone depending on their situation) Thank you so much Gail!!!

When my daughter was first born, we attended the weekly Mother's Place group at PAMF that Gail hosted. Not only did I love being able to nurse openly while discussing all things breastfeeding, I was also able to use the group's convenient amenities to weigh my daughter and make sure she was gaining in those early months of life. The friends my daughter and I made there eventually became a playgroup. I cherish and miss those days! At 7 months old now, my daughter is starting solids and I'm back to work. Like most back to work moms, I've come crashing into the world of under supply (a huge fall for me, as my primary concern during our early nursing days was chronic OVER supply, to the point of constant leakage). A quick call to Gail's direct line gives me renewed hope and an action plan, every time. Without Gail and Mother's Place, I honestly can't say if I would still be enjoying a wonderful nursing relationship with my daughter today. Support matters, and Gail has been a wonderful and indispensable part of my support system.

I am writing this review because Sheila Janakos doesn't just help new parents in her store/lactation support center but she is also a generous soul who helps the community. I have been on the board of a nonprofit for 32 years now called Nursing Mothers Counsel which provides free lactation support via phone with volunteers trained in lactation and counseling support. We are a great back up source for parents who may not need the expert support that Sheila and her IBCLC staff provide, or who are in need of support after business hours. We are so grateful to Healthy Horizons for donating 4 Medela Symphony Pumps to NMC for use as grant rentals for low income families we serve. This substantial donation will certainly help many low income families in the Bay Area and Santa Cruz County. Sheila has remained an affiliate member of our small non-profit and supported NMC with donations throughout her many years associated with our organization. Thank you so much Sheila and Healthy Horizons for your generosity and support!
