Testimonials
“In the anxious first weeks as new parents to a tiny baby, Kathleen was indispensable and helped us become a happier and more confident little threesome. She was a kind ear for all our panicked, sleep-deprived questions, and a vital resource, helping us trouble-shoot breastfeeding issues and providing referrals to therapists, as well as being a genuine pleasure to have around. Kathleen is the closest Boston has to a professional mother for new parents!”- Alice, Boston
“Kathleen helped me to trust my instincts, and as a result, I spend less time worrying and more time enjoying being a mother. The most valuable part of having Kathleen's support was her wealth of knowledge, supportive way in which she shared that knowledge with me. I wasn't very confident about breastfeeding and how best to help my baby sleep better, but she was so reassuring as well as informative, and she helped me to feel better about both.” - Debbie, Boston
