Happy Clients Say…
“Amanda’s teaching and support were truly instrumental in our breastfeeding journey with our first baby! She listens to concerns and answers questions with such compassion and understanding that she is one of the reasons we were able to make it through 370 days of breastfeeding and pumping! We couldn’t have done it without her! .”
— Laura P.
"Amanda is a powerhouse of knowledge, encouragement, and optimism. She is the sweetest and most patient mother and nurse who walked through my breastfeeding journey with me from day one to the end. This priceless and bonding experience is worth every moment, and Amanda helped keep me calm and confident since I did not produce as much as I would have liked; however, we made it one year, and I am so thankful for her and her expertise. She is a blessing to everyone around her!
— Brette D.
“Amanda has been instrumental in my journey with breastfeeding. She has so much knowledge and experience and has helped me every step of the way. She always has a pleasant demeanor that I feel encouraged to ask her for advice and encouragement. I was extremely overwhelmed being a first time mom but Amanda has put my mind at ease so much during this first month. So grateful to have had her in my corner.”
