Nursing became easy & natural

“Abby’s assistance helped me drop the shield and nursing became easy and really natural!”

–Candice B.

Clearly has a passion for this work

“Abby is amazing! She is so knowledgeable about what she does and clearly has a passion for this work. Abby helped me by giving me the tools and resources to be successful–she has a non- judgmental disposition and makes you feel like whatever you are doing is right for you. I HIGHLY recommend her.”

–Eve L.

Confident I have the support I need

“I am a new momma-to-be and knew nothing about breastfeeding, except for the fact that I wanted to do it. I met with Abby for a consultation and was impressed with the depth of knowledge and professionalism. She was also very warm and conversational, and that made me feel at ease. I loved how she shared stories of personal experiences with breastfeeding along with techniques to try at home. I am due in 3 weeks and feel very confident that I have the support I need to care for my baby. I highly recommend Abby!”

–Rachel B.

Helped me “ditch the shield”

“Abby was incredibly supportive and helpful. She assessed my nursing challenges via video conference and it was impressively very effective. She offered me options for different positions, explaining the ergonomics behind why my baby would prefer certain changes to my hold. She helped me "ditch the shield" which was a big challenge for me as a first-time mom. I would highly recommend her services!”

–Ashley

So patient with me & my baby

“Abby was so accommodating—fitting me in for an appointment last minute, just days after the birth of my daughter. She was so patient with me and my baby, which really helped me relax when nursing. I think my baby can sense that, so I’m super appreciative of Abby’s own demeanor and positivity.”

–Rachel R.

Helped me every step along the way

“I wish I could give Abby 100 stars! She is the best. I had a consultation with her prior to giving birth, and several in-home visits after I gave birth. I was committed to breastfeeding and she helped me every step along the way. I would say that meeting her prior to giving birth was one of the most helpful parts of this experience. She showed me some foundational methods so that once I had my baby I knew what to do. Breastfeeding did not come easy to me and she made something that was really scary and difficult at first become something positive! Consult with Abby, she is amazing! She will help you reach your goals no matter what they are!”

–Hannah A.

Appreciated Abby’s friendly approach

“Abby was really helpful in the early weeks of breastfeeding! She came to my home, did a pre and post weight which I really wanted as a breastfeeding mom having no idea how much my baby was taking in. She was also easy to get ahold of and helpful when I ran into some issues of engorgement. I really appreciated Abby's friendly approach and would definitely work with her again in the future.”

Abby made my experience positive and enjoyable

“As a first-time mother, the thought of going through the birthing experience with my husband, who also had no prior labor/delivery experience, frightened me. I knew I would be having a hospital birth, and that my midwife, whom I had seen for all my pre-natal care, would not be in the labor/delivery room. That's when I knew I wanted a doula. I met Abby and immediately felt at ease. Her calm voice and deep knowledge of the pre-labor, birthing, and postpartum process made me feel confident and less anxious in my role as a to-be mother. The prenatal visits at my home were in-depth: I felt listened to and never judged for my preferences (I wanted an epidural as an option, but also wanted to try some alternative pain management techniques as well-I ended up using the tub and getting an epidural.) Abby helped me edit my birth plan, and practice pain management techniques. She was on-call for me at 38 weeks, and texted/called me to check-in, and was even there for me during 2 different "false alarm" calls, with one being a trip to the hospital (which she met us there.) just knowing that Abby was a phone call away was very calming. During the birthing experience, Abby was right there with my husband, talking me through the pain, and helping me when I got my epidural. During the pushing stage, she helped physically support me in a position that worked for me. After the birth of our daughter, Abby did a postpartum appointment at my house, where we talked about breastfeeding (and how hard it was) and continued checking in with me weeks afterward as I dealt with a bad latch/tongue tie challenges. Although many people thought I didn't need a doula because I had a hospital birth, I honestly believe my birth experience was so positive/enjoyable to look back on because of Abby and how she worked with my husband and I to make this our unique birthing experience, putting our wishes/preferences first and ultimately helping my husband and I feel empowered in this process.”
