Lactation Client Reviews

  • “We loved working with Kathleen. She is very knowledgeable about all things baby-related and definitely goes above and beyond to help babies and families adjust! She was very helpful with our feeding and food allergy problems at the start of our baby's life. She also takes great care of the rest of the family at this important time of transition.” -Rachel, Winchester

  • “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 breast-feeding 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 empowered me to feel more confident about caring for my baby. It is so easy to second-guess yourself or feel as if you're doing everything wrong. 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. Kathleen has the perfect combination of being supportive and kind in conjunction with being extremely practical and knowledgeable, and with such a calming presence. She also has two kids if her own, so her empathy is very real.” - Debbie, Jamaica Plain

  • “What I most appreciated about working with Kathleen is her approach - she's both thorough and thoughtful, balancing sharing all of the information, data and analysis we asked for, alongside empathy, emotional support and consciousness of who we are and what we need. I didn't realize how much I needed that kind of support until we started doing our sessions with Kathleen. I feel like she provided incredible balance for us, and opened up the way my husband and I were thinking about the rest of our pregnancy, our birth and the 4th trimester. I valued the information and guidance she offered on breastfeeding, which I believe contributed to me and my son seeing better feeding results in the first hours, days and weeks after birth, and less anxiety for me in questioning what was going on. “ -Maggie, virtual support
