I cannot say enough about Karissa. Having had problems breast feeding with my first child, I was…read moreprepared to have issues with my second, but wow, it was so much worse! I reached out to multiple lactation consultants as I was desperate to continue breastfeeding my daughter, and Karissa was a godsend! She not only answered my desperate call on a weekend, she was in constant contact to ensure things were going appropriately. And when they didn't, she made sure she did all she could to get us on the right track. This meant that she texted me, emailed me as well as made additional home visits to follow-up. She realized I needed to go by to have an exam and imaging by my OB as well as recognizing a previously undiagnosed tongue-tie in my daughter. As a result, the speech therapist she referred by daughter to was also amazing (as in, spent over an hour at each visit discussing diagnosis and treatment options). Today, my daughter is 7 months old and is happily breast feeding. I have been able to build up a supply and have done so without pain or complications. It is truly a miracle that both of us are where we are today, and I truly owe all of this to having been treated by Karissa.

Sejal is the absolute best lactation consultant I've ever encountered. My case was so complex and…read morehad seen other lactation consultants and spent hundreds of dollars in the process with them and had no results. Time was of the essence as my milk supply dwindled and depleted to about .5 ounces a day from 20-30 oz a day! I need help desperately. I happen to cross beyond Birth online and I took a chance and was paired with Sejal. She listened intently, assist carefully, took time and care but worked efficiently and quickly. My results were immediate she troubleshooted until everything was just right. And because of her I am eight months postpartum and still breast-feeding my baby exclusively! My case was very intricate and she handled it with ease! She is the lactation whisperer! Forever grateful. I will be telling everyone I know about her. I also had the privilege of working with Leslie who just like Sejal was so intuitive. From checking in to see what I was doing and going along to supplementation's that would help me to informative videos on how to. She was pivotal and helping me in a later issue I had after working with Sejal. I was able to get on a call with her immediately after reaching out to their establishment and as before when working with Sejal, my results were immediate like only hours later immediate! These women are just unreal! Beyond Birth Lactation is the truth!

Beyond Birth Lactation Services has been a postpartum blessing on my lactation journey after having…read moremy second baby. Leslie and her team (Mattea, Lorraine, and Monique) are all truly impeccable people. You can tell they sincerely love what they do, are extremely attentive, and genuinely want to help you meet your lactation goals. Whether it be for breastfeeding or pumping, preventing clogged ducts, reducing/increasing your supply, identifying tongue/lip ties etc., the team will work with you on where you are, and to help you get to where you need to be. I have literally had an appointment with every single team member, and I can attest that they are all amazing no matter who you see. I have seen Mattea and Leslie immediately postpartum for breast flange sizing, clogged ducts, and prevention of mastitis. Not only did they treat me, but they also gave me educational videos to help with lymphatic massage and breast gymnastics to help my milk flow. Having the correct flange size after having my second child has also truly made a difference. Prior to coming here, I had seen 2 other lactation consultants that had sized me at a 36 mm (with my first son) and a 28 mm (while I was pregnant with my 2nd) when I am actually a 17mm. Although the body changes and so can your flange size, having the correct has been a total game changer with pain and milk production. I've also seen Lorraine for follow up with positioning and learning about laid back breastfeeding. The team has also helped me read my baby's cues while breastfeeding as he grows. I've also learned how to breastfeeding while in a ring sling carrier which has been a life saver around the house. The facility is located in Durham in the Madison Centre and has plenty of parking. The suite is very warm and welcoming (tea and water and small snacks available) to both parent(s) and baby. Each lactation consultant has a comfy office equipped with furniture to assist with breastfeeding postures (sitting/reclined/side lying) and pillows to help prop baby or parent be comfortable. Something I absolutely love is that you can schedule everything by text and email confirmation. I was able to have appointments virtually and in the office.

We spoke often and met throughout my pregnancy - she was always just a phone call or text away. Bianka supported all of my birthing choices and was a huge help in the delivery room. She was so calm, helping me through contractions, labor and the stress of a surprise c-section. We could not be more thankful to Bianka for all her help. I definitely plan on having her by my side for our next child!

She got on the phone with me once I requested a consultation and chatted through what kind of support I wanted from a doula, went over what doulas could do to support us, and went over our schedule. She then sent us profiles of doulas who could fit our needs, and I was able to interview the ones I though were the best fit. Our doula, Keya, was fantastic. She had such a calming aura compared to mine and my husband's frenetic panic as new parents. She also would check-in with me before heading over to our apartment to see if we needed any errands run or any products brought to the apartment. I wholly recommend Emerald Doulas and especially getting a postpartum doula--especially if you don't have family in the area!
