I am so glad I made an appointment with Tracey! I booked an appointment as soon as I knew my induction date and she helped me get off to a great start with my breastfeeding journey. She checks in and follows up and is there to answer any additional questions. She was very caring and knowledgeable!Definitely helpful, especially with a premie who needed to be fed constantly. I've already recommended her to all my friends who are pregnant! read more

Right when Tracey walked into our house, we felt a wave of warmth and comfort. The breastfeeding journey is challenging for every Mom and for my wife, Tracey helped change the breastfeeding trajectory for our daughter. What we loved about Tracey 1. She took the time to listen to us and we had her undivided attention for the whole time she was here. She provided solutions and we were able to put them in practice almost immediately 2. She made both of us feel confident. Not only a clear plan for my wife, but also what things I can do to support and effective strategies that I've been using every day since she was here 3. She created a custom plan that she sends over the same day. It's customized based on the things we discussed and a great reference point 4. Extremely responsive. We have been texting her afterwards and she gets back to us extremely quickly. Overall, couldn't recommend Tracey enough. We are very happy that she came to help us and recommend her to anyone going through the breastfeeding journey! read more

I reached out to Tracey when my son was about 2.5 months old because he was struggling with gas discomfort. Tracey provided a very gentle and calming experience for him. During the session, he was very relaxed and even fell asleep. After the session and following the recommendations she shared, I noticed he was much less fussy after breastfeeding, and his gas symptoms noticeably improved. Thank you, Tracey! read more

Working with Tracey has been such a gift. First and foremost, she is such a gem of a person. Her combination of infant bodywork and deep lactation knowledge helped us understand what was going on with my daughter in a truly holistic way. Nova responded beautifully to Tracey's soothing touch and was noticeably more comfortable after our sessions, even sleeping so much better afterward (which is huge for our reflux-y baby!). Each session left me feeling clearer, more confident, and genuinely supported. If you get the opportunity to work with Tracey, run don't walk! read more

Tracey was an incredible help during the chaotic first few weeks postpartum. She's a knowledgeable, responsive, and empathetic lactation consultant who made a real difference in our journey. We're so glad we had her support! read more

Working closely with Tracey over the past year has been an absolute gift and an essential part of my postpartum and breastfeeding journey. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a natural way of making both my husband and I feel so at ease as new parents. From the moment she walked into our home, she was instantly comfortable with us and our newborn, which helped us feel the same. In those early days, I had a negative experience with a pediatrician that triggered a spiral of anxiety. As soon as I connected with Tracey, that anxiety was lifted. I felt like I had someone on my team who truly understood and supported me. Tracey introduced me to the tools and techniques I needed for a positive and successful breastfeeding experience and she consistently made time to check in with me one-on-one, which meant the world. I also started attending her mom meet-up groups, which became such a special part of my postpartum journey. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with other moms and learn from both Tracey and the group. (the first time my son and I ever rode in the car together was to visit Tracey!) She creates such a safe and welcoming space, and I truly can't recommend her enough. I'm so excited to continue taking her classes as my son gets older. Tracey's support has been invaluable, and I'm so grateful to have her in our lives. read more

I highly recommend Tracey as a lactation consultant and infant cranial sacral therapist. After a difficult nursing journey with my first, I knew I wanted someone skilled to help me with my twin boys. Tracey is very informative, patient, kind and non judgemental. I appreciated how she worked with my needs as well as the needs of each individual baby. At the end of a very thorough session Tracey did some cranial sacral therapy my sons. They were in heaven and slept the rest of the afternoon! My boys are a week old and I'm happy to report that I have no nipple damage, a healthy milk supply and two very good latchers! I just wish I had Tracey the first time, it would have made a world of a difference! read more

I highly recommend working with Tracey during your lactation journey! My prenatal chiropractor encouraged me to reach out to Tracey after I reported a sudden significant drop in my milk supply after receiving some poor advice from another healthcare provider. Prior to our first session, I thought my breastfeeding journey was completely doomed. I had a complicated pregnancy that ended in a late pre-term delivery where there was a hyperfocus on my son's weight and volume of milk consumed per day while in hospital. My drop in supply left me feeling doomed and inadequate to care for my son via breastfeeding, which is critically important to me, especially with so many other things going sideways. Tracey was quick to respond to my request for a consultation. While awaiting our appointment she was able to connect with me virtually to help provide some advice on boosting my supply again before our session later that same week. Our session was fantastic. Both my husband and I felt empowered with knowledge and a solid plan after our session. Following our session Tracey has been providing us regular support in our journey. She's very patient and understanding, and she goes above and beyond to offer assistance and resources. read more

I highly recommend working with Tracey! I had several home sessions with Tracey and learned so much from each session. Most importantly, I always felt so much more confidence in my breastfeeding journey after meeting with her. She is incredibly patient and comprehensive - she helped us with latch, posture, pumping (and cleaning), bottle feeding, and overall baby wellness. A few other things that I loved: Tracey follows up with detailed notes and checks in to see how we are progressing after each visit. She clearly loves babies and goes above and beyond to make sure every aspect of breastfeeding a wonderful experience for both baby and mom. She is very flexible with timing to make sure that the session works well for baby's feeding schedule. Tracey is a huge reason for a successful breastfeeding journey so far, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her :) read more

Tracey is incredible! I was looking for a LC proactively and I truly believe my breastfeeding journey wouldn't have been nearly as seamless without her. Tracey came armed to our appointment with lots of wonderful knowledge about breastfeeding and was critical in helping me feel confident and secure in my breastfeeding journey. She is super responsive and extremely patient and understanding of new moms and the million questions they might have. She helped me understand proper latching techniques, how to manage during the first few weeks as my milk came in and my baby was changing and growing. I have been so grateful for her help and expertise as I established breastfeeding for my little one. It is clear she care so much for her clients and truly wants to create life long relationships. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a LC and also for anyone starting this journey with plans to breastfeed. read more

Tracey is a "must have" for your breastfeeding support system! She is both professional and incredibly empathetic. I've had a few in-person sessions with her to discuss best latching positions, pumping strategies, and an overall plan for my breastfeeding journey. It has all been such a game changer for me as I navigate being a mother to an adorable preemie. Tracey also makes herself available via text, providing ample support and helpful suggestions along the way. I cannot underscore the importance of a supportive lactation consultant for all breastfeeding mamas (regardless if you're on your first, second, or third child), and Tracey is someone I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat! read more

Tracey is the best and she has been essential to my breastfeeding journey and the transition into motherhood, overall. She's very kind, knowledgable, responsive and helpful. I'd recommend Tracey in a heartbeat. She started out as a LC and now I consider her a friend. Thank you! read more

I highly recommend Tracey! She has been nothing short of amazing in my breastfeeding journey. Tracey helped me understand how much milk my baby was getting from me, which eased my concerns if I can properly feed him. She shared a ton of great advice from how to improve our latch to what pumping supplies and settings fit me best. Finally, she set up a plan for us to move to exclusive breastfeeding. Tracey has a huge breadth of experience and her book on lactation only proves it. read more

Awesome, life saver and God sent! I was recommended Tracey by my pediatrician, and no doubt she's the best lc in town! Everyone had told us, including the hospital lcs that our baby won't be able to latch. But just in 10mins of our first appointment, Tracey was able to get our baby girl to latch and drink. Other things that i love about her - She's super professional! Is always very responsive and now she's a hit within my friends circle/new-mom group as well! I love her approach of a single in-house consultation and free communication afterwards. It makes things super easy! She's very personable, kind, a great listener and super thorough. I loved how she asked me a lot of questions to learn about my background and what's going on. I love her and Highly recommend her. read more

Tracey was really patient, kind and helpful in improving the latch of our newborn daughter. She was really thorough in evaluating everything, from posture, even making sure I was using the correct flange size for pumping. Loved that she sent a write up of my care plan and that I could follow up with her with any questions or concerns. Highly recommend! read more

Don't hesitate to book Tracey! Tracey's visit with us in the hospital and at home paved the road for us to have a smooth, peaceful experience when our baby was born. When I first saw her, I had bloody nipples due to a poor latch, and I assumed I just would have to get used to it. That was not the case luckily. Tracey was very detail oriented in her assessment of the latch and provided us easy to follow education and resources, and she even involved my husband by providing him with techniques to improve our baby's latch. By the end of our first session, my husband and I were SO relieved, and I was able to feed without the prior discomfort. She even followed up at our home to help me with pumping when I was ready. During this vulnerable time, I developed the confidence I needed through Tracey's skilled, compassionate, empathetic, and patient approach. I would recommend her again and again! read more

We owe our breastfeeding success to Tracey! She guided us from our baby not latching at all to exclusively breastfeeding. Our baby did not latch/ breastfeed for his first few weeks (I had to pump and feed him via SNS and then bottle). We saw Tracey when he was 3 weeks old and were successfully breastfeeding by 4.5 weeks! She's also helping me wean off the pump since he's exclusively breastfeeding now. I recommend her to everyone I know who is looking for breastfeeding support, whether they are just looking to improve latch or need extensive help like we did. Having Tracey in our home was such a wonderful experience during such a stressful time on our breastfeeding journey. Her presence is calm and peaceful, and she has an incredible wealth of knowledge. She has an answer for all of my many questions. After assessing his mouth/suck, she observed that our baby had tongue mobility issues and suggested that he might have a tongue tie and lip tie. She recommended that we reach out to a pediatric dentist to have his mouth examined and the ties released, which was critical to our success. The providers at Kaiser didn't notice/recommend that we get his posterior tongue tie released, so had it not been for Tracey, we wouldn't have had this very important procedure done. She supported us with the decision to have his ties clipped and checked in with us regularly afterwards to ensure everything was going well. One of the aspects of Tracey's services that I value most is the continued support. She checks in via text and email, and continues to send resources as time goes on. I can't emphasize this enough: she is wholeheartedly available for additional support after the initial home visit. Is it so reassuring to know that she is still there for me when I have a question or need help! I truly feel that she is invested in our breastfeeding success. She also provides a great book that she wrote. I've referenced it several times when I've gotten a plugged duct, engorgement, etc. It's a great resource to keep by my breastfeeding station to read while pumping and breastfeeding. I plan to reach out to Tracey for baby #2 in the future to get us on track with breastfeeding, regardless of whether we have issues or not. She saved us-- we could not have done this without her. read more

Tracey won't do in-home consultations for people living in apartments. Although this is due to the pandemic, I thought it was important to share with other moms who are struggling with breastfeeding so that they know right away if she will be willing to help. I wish I had known that sooner so I could use my time more efficiently to find a solution to my breastfeeding difficulties. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Tracey! She was super responsive and communicative about setting up our initial appointment. She was lovely in person, and was very professional. She took great care to help me understand tips and tricks, she was fabulous with our newborn son, and she provided tremendous follow up. I found the whole process of finding a consultant covered by my insurance (Cigna) very frustrating and am SO SO glad to have found Tracey. read more

Any lactation consultant can tell you about nipple shields and pumping; Tracey is more than that. She is an incredibly kind, patient, and responsive person, someone you want in your corner to help you navigate not just breastfeeding, but also raising a baby. My LO started nursing at around 5 weeks, after I forced her to. (She had nipple confusion starting on day 3 and my pediatrician suggested I could force her to nurse by not offering the alternative--a bottle). I reached out to Tracey because of our late start to nursing with the hope that she could guide me through my breastfeeding journey. Looking back, I would say I was a hysterical and extremely needy client. My LO seemed to always be crying inconsolably and I was still battling PPD. Everything that seemed to be wrong I blamed on breastfeeding--her poor sleep, fussiness, refusal to eat. I was obsessing over the number of diapers and my LO's weight, and concerned about low milk supply and that maybe my LO was just too old to learn how to nurse effectively. I texted Tracey constantly, often with the same annoying questions over and over again, both breastfeeding related and other, and sent videos of breastfeeding difficulties for her to troubleshoot. She was always super patient and kind to me. She was extremely responsive, always available to console and reassure me, and never gave up on me. At ten weeks, I finally learned that the majority of my LO's troubles and fussiness were because she had trouble breathing (she had a cyst, slightly larger than half an inch in diameter obstructing her airway--which we had removed) and not breastfeeding related. Still, I am so grateful to have had Tracey in my corner during my most difficult time. I really really struggled and I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Tracey to reach out to. Breastfeeding is difficult, raising a baby with complications even more so. Tracey, if you are reading this, thank you; I really appreciate having you. read more

Highly recommend Tracey. She was spot on about her diagnosis. She was professional, methodical and thorough. We were able to get on a plan and schedule that worked after. She's clearly very good at what she does. Also gave us a book that she's authored on lactation. I loved her confidence in the recommendations she made. Tracey took extra precaution to ensure that we had the least exposure during COVID. Her process was completely hands off and yet extremely effective. As someone with a newborn, I appreciate the social distancing. read more

Tracey came to our home two weeks after I gave birth to help with nursing. She was extremely helpful and informative. I instantly felt confident in what I was doing. I am currently 12 weeks postpartum and she continues to be super responsive and helpful with different issue I've been having like clogged ducts, milk blisters, pumping and latching. If you are considering a lactation consultant I would highly recommend Tracey! read more

Tracey Lactation helped me through several breastfeeding challenges during the first 6 months of my son's life. She was responsive in setting up our first meeting. During our appointment, I felt very relaxed around her. Tracey provided actionable steps to help my son and I breastfeed better. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Tracey. read more

i cannot recommend tracey enough for moms! tracey was extremely helpful for my family during the first weeks of my daughters life. we had an issue with her weight - tracey not only helped coach me through it but really brought me ease and peace as well. tracey is extremely convenient for moms - comes to your house, brings you an amazing book and is SO responsive. she will call you and text you and her response rate is so fast. i felt like she should have charged us for another session but it came with the initial fee! you truly feel like she is on the journey with you. 100% recommend working with tracey!!!! read more

When I had the same issue with my second baby as with my first I was totally desperate to get to the bottom of what was happening and to find a solution that would work for me and my little one. After having seen many consultants I finally saw Tracey who quickly discovered what was going on. We made a plan and it works out great. For anyone who is having breastfeeding questions or problems I couldn't recommend Tracey more. read more

I really struggled with breastfeeding my son, until I met Tracey! My son was failing to gain weight during his first two months of life (he dropped from the 18th to the 1st percentile for weight). He was fussy and I was extremely uneasy about what we were doing "wrong". Tracey immediately helped us develop a plan and strategy on how to best feed my son, and within weeks he was growing and thriving. I kick myself for not having met with Tracey earlier. Tracey is also quick to help answer any questions/concerns we have over email and continues to be helpful virtually. read more

I'm so glad I found Tracey. She was very helpful and friendly. I'm lucky enough to have a baby that latches well but I still had a ton of questions. Googling things can be confusing with all of the various advice from differing sources. I finally decided to schedule a phone consult with Tracey and I'm so happy I did!! I found everything she said to make sense. She alleviated fears/concerns I had and helped give me more structure. I feel more confident on my breastfeeding journey now. Her book is very informative and pleasant to read. She has also been super responsive via text with all of my questions. She is awesome. I highly recommend her! read more

Tracey is amazing. I worked with her about two years ago when my son was born (I know, I'm a little behind the ball!) She is easy to get along with and very professional. She was super accessible (both in terms of home visits and over email), gave practical advice, and was honestly a lifeline when I was deep in it trying to get my first to nurse. She also gave me advice that was super helpful but not directly related to my nursing issues, which I so appreciated as a first time parent. Probably the best was to do a pump first thing every morning while on maternity to build up a stockpile of frozen milk. This tip alone, which I haven't actually read anywhere else, allowed me to exclusively feed my first child milk until he was 14 months (even though he was always a difficult nurser). And all of this was covered by our insurance. Definitely recommend! Thanks Tracey. read more

Tracey is so helpful! Our newborn baby refused to take the bottle and Tracey provided us with very helpful suggestions to help him make the transition. Her recommendations were very comprehensive, thoughtful and detailed. There is no doubt she is an expert in her field. Not only is she very knowledgeable, it became immediately apparent that she genuinely cares about our baby and takes a sincere interest in helping our family. We highly recommend Tracey for your lactation consulting needs! read more

Tracey has a wonderful energy and is very enjoyable to work with. She quickly responded to our request and scheduled us within a day. She was very thorough on understanding mine and my babies needs and worked with us to make sure we felt comfortable and successful breastfeeding. Not only did she offer lots of helpful advice on how to latch properly but she had wonderful suggestions on ways to challenge our babies growing mind. After working together, she followed up to make sure everything was going smoothly and address any additional questions. I'm extremely thankful to have found her. read more

Tracey knows what she's doing, and it works! My 7-day-old son, who was born with Down syndrome, had not yet latched and neither he nor I knew how to get him to start. I was also getting less milk from each pump as the days went by, not more. So I called Tracey, who was recommended by my pediatrician (PAMF). What a gift she gave us! She was able to come to my home just three hours after I first called her, and spent two hours with us. She helped us with positioning, latch, nipple shield use, bottle feeding, equipment care, and how to boost my small supply. She was patient, friendly, and not at all judgmental, even when she discovered me making some kinda dumb mistakes. She came equipped with all the stuff I needed (like, when she realized I was using too large a nipple shield, a new, sealed, right-sized one appeared from her bag of stuff). Bottom line, we got my son to latch and suck while she was with us, and the first feeding after she left, he latched again and sucked for seven minutes straight! My experience with her was motivating, confidence building, and immediately effective. Hooray and thanks, Tracey! read more

Tracey is incredible! She is truly a rare gem and has such great insights and advice about breastfeeding. Right after we had our daughter, she came over to our home and was able to help me with my engorgement and tips for breastfeeding our first child. I truly feel the advice she gave set me up for successful breastfeeding longterm. It can be very stressful learning how to breastfeed, but Tracey's calm, reassuring, experienced and wise demeanor made all the difference. I had some follow-up questions after we met, and she was always willing to provide her expert advice over the phone, text or email. You can tell that she really loves what she does. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to anyone who is struggling with breastfeeding or has any breastfeeding related questions. Thank you, Tracey! read more

After the birth of my baby boy, I left the hospital confident as the nurses there said I had a pretty good latch. However, within a week, I started feeling sore and blisters started forming. I was desperate for help and thankfully Tracey showed me how to ensure a deep latch. She was very professional and gentle with my baby. Almost a week later, I am now pain-free and very confident that those blisters will not return. Thanks Tracey! read more

I met with Tracey 2 weeks ago when my newborn was 1 week old. She was an amazing help. She spent the time with me that the LC at the hospital wasn't able to. Tracey gave me techniques to ease my discomfort, weighed my baby to make sure she was taking in enough milk, and even went over how to use my breast pump. She was completely non-judgemental that I had been supplementing with formula, but after meeting with her I haven't had to give my baby any formula, which (for me) was the goal of the meeting. I've emailed Tracey with a couple questions since our appointment and she's always sent back quick, thorough and thoughtful responses which have been enormously helpful. As a new mom, I never know what is OK and what to worry about, so it's huge having someone to go to for all things feeding, even just to ask if something is normal. I will be recommending Tracey to all my friends who are expecting. read more

I was home from the hospital after 24 hours and needed some help figuring out the right plan for breastfeeding. I found Tracy through yelp, saw her great ratings and reviews, and that she lived nearby. I called and she met with me the next day, a Saturday, and it was such a relief to get her expert advice and put together a plan for moving forward with my newborn. She has worked at many of the breastfeeding resources in the area, but really enjoys working for herself and spending a lot of time with her clients. She is incredibly knowledgable, patient, and explains things really well. I felt so much better after spending a few hours with her and having her as a resource via email and phone will be invaluable as well. I highly recommend working with Tracey. read more

I decided to hire Tracey as my lactation consultant after she was highly recommended from a friend. I also spoke with multiple people and I really felt her personality and demeanor was a match for me. I cannot say enough nice things about her. She is very sensitive, was very helpful and provided all the information and help I needed. I had a detailed 'plan' after our initial post-partum visit that I could refer too. I never felt any sort of pressure as I did with some consultants in the hospital. She always took the time to ask me how I was feeling and how my older daughter was doing. On top of that she was available via text to answer quick questions and that was comforting to know. I would definitely use Tracey again! read more

Tracey is wonderful! I met her less than a week after my baby was born -- she came to my house, which was super convenient for a new mum. She was very helpful, both for my specific questions and generally helping me think through my breastfeeding and pumping plan. She is also available afterwards on email (very promptly) for my questions. If you are struggling with breastfeeding, definitely consult with her. read more

Tracey was an absolute god send for our family. After several weeks and visits with other lactation consultants we hired Tracey as a final effort to get our little one breastfeeding we'll. Tracey came to our house was kind, thoughtful and prompt. She gave us ample time in person, listening to our experience observing the process and finally offering a very clear and achievable plan which worked! It has been several months since her visit and our little one is breastfeeding successfully which would not have been possible without Tracey. She also observed my wife using her breast pump and taught explained how to correctly use it which has been great since she returned to work. We still reach out to Tracey with questions and she always responds quickly and thoughtfully. We can not recommend her highly enough! read more

Tracey is AMAZING. I cannot recommend her highly enough! I was having problems nursing my newborn girl and after a pretty depressing experience in the hospital and then again with my pediatrician was worried I wouldn't be able to make breastfeeding work. 3 weeks and 2 sessions with Tracey later not only am I 100% breastfeeding but I have a beautiful and healthy daughter too :-) She has a wonderful style with both Mum and baby; and is extremely calming and patient too. She gave me back the confidence I need to give my baby what she needs. Thank you Tracey. read more

Tracey is amazing! Our breastfeeding was going well until when at about 8-9 weeks, my son started refusing the breast and only wanting to take the bottle. Tracey was very helpful in providing guidance on what to do and how to get the baby back to breastfeeding.Her advice and guidance was very helpful (as we got the baby back to breastfeeding), not only because she is really knowledgeable but also because she is very sweet and compassionate. As a new mom any problems with breastfeeding can be stressful and a few days feel like weeks. Tracey was very supportive without being dismissive of my concerns. She is very responsive to texts and while she is always very professional, it really feels like having a knowledgeable friend to help with the breastfeeding issues! I highly recommend her. read more
