  • Lara, first time mother

    “Stephanie was so helpful while breastfeeding for the first time. She was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Anytime I was having an issue she always had the answers or was able to point me in the right direction. She is great at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone who needs assistance or education.”

  • Jade, First time mother

    “Stephanie was an incredible support throughout my breastfeeding journey. As a first-time mom, I had so many worries, and when my baby wouldn’t latch, she patiently helped me through every option. When breastfeeding didn’t work out, she reassured me that I was no less of a mother and helped me confidently transition to pumping. Her compassion, encouragement, and kindness made me feel supported, understood, and never alone during such an emotional time. I am so grateful for everything she did for me and my baby.

  • Hillary, mom of four

    Going into my fourth and final delivery I was determined to exclusively breastfeed. Despite being a labor & delivery nurse and CLC myself, my son and I struggled getting a good routine. We battled difficult latches, low milk supply, clogged ducts, and thrush but because of Stephanie’s support we made it through! From our time in the hospital to late nights at home Stephanie was so supportive and helpful! Her patience is unmatched and helped me take each day one step at a time. I am so thankful for her support during our journey; without her I wouldn’t have been successful.
