I truly don’t know if I would still be breastfeeding my little one today without the help and support of Jessica during the first 2 months postpartum. I initially met with Jessica as a first time mom overwhelmed by breastfeeding. She helped guide me with tips on latching and general information on breastfeeding that I wasn’t aware of. Jessica was able to identify that my baby had lip, cheek, and tongue ties and pointed me in the right direction to have them revised. My favorite part about working with Jessica was her support along the way. She truly felt like a friend, and was such an amazing support person during those crazy postpartum months! She also had a very holistic approach to breastfeeding which I really appreciated. Instead of sending me straight to a dentist for a revision, she recommended chiropractor care and body work - both of which helped my baby and breastfeeding journey tremendously. We are now on month four of exclusively breastfeeding and I couldn’t have done it with out Jessica!

Thanks to the Milk Box:
Jessica was truly a game changer in my breastfeeding journey! From our first consult, she was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and reassuring. Even when I hit a bump in the road, she was quick to respond and guide me. Breastfeeding is such a personal and emotional experience and working with Jessica helped me go from feeling like I was failing to feeling like I was thriving!
Bri
My baby was born with 5 mouth ties resulting in a horrendous start to breastfeeding. I struggled with extreme pain, mastitis, over production, blisters and the list goes on and on. I worked with an LC prior and looking back I needed to find someone who had experience with my baby’s specific issues. Three painstaking months of breastfeeding and I was literally days from quitting. My baby’s tongue tie specialist was kind enough to recommend Jessica and as my last attempt before throwing in the towel, I contacted her. I was desperate, hopeless and was sure I was going to have to quit. But Jessica came to the rescue. She came out farther than her normal travel, on a day she didn’t do travel appointments, on a week she was already completely booked. Again, just amazing. Once she saw us, she helped us with very practical steps and recommended some follow up care that we needed for my baby’s ties. My goal before baby was born was just six months of breastfeeding but after birth, I felt that was going to be impossible. After following Jessica’s advice and help, breastfeeding for a year or more seems like no problem! My heart goes out to all the mamas that are struggling to find formula which could easily have been us. But thank the Lord for Jessica, because of her help I can exclusively breastfeed my baby. She equipped us to successfully continue our breastfeeding journey and I am forever grateful. If you or a friend needs an IBCLC, please do not hesitate to contact her, you will not regret it!
Ariana
Jessica is truly remarkable. She helped me feel comfortable, confident and empowered in my breastfeeding journey. Although I had read many books and gotten advise from friends, having Jessica come to our house and coach us on nursing made ALL the difference. As a first time mom, I had a million questions and concerns which Jessica patiently answered with her abundance of knowledge and own personal experiences. She made my concerns feel heard and validated, while then making me feel at ease and confident moving forward. Jessica has great communication, is flexible and kind. Jessica made a big difference in my sweet baby boy's journey and I am forever grateful!
Caitlyn
Jessica has gone over and above for me and my daughter since we started working with her. I'd highly recommend her mom to mom!
Lauren
I am so thankful I was introduced to this wonderful woman and have her help to make it through some difficulties that would have ended our breastfeeding journey too soon had she not been there. I met Jessica around the time my baby was 8 weeks old. She had been having awful symptoms, always seemed uncomfortable, and had been struggling with getting any sort of good latch established. Jessica was with me as my baby went through a lip, tongue, and cheek release procedure and provided guidance and encouragement before and even through the weeks afterward. Jessica has a true gift for working with moms and babies and her knowledge in all things lactation and her compassion make her an excellent IBCLC.
Kylee
Jessica was such an integral part of my breastfeeding journey. Without her, I 100% believe there would not have been a breastfeeding journey for us. When we started, I was in intense pain and worst of all, my daughter was unable to breastfeed and get the milk she needed. At our first appointment, my daughter could not even latch to do a weighted feed. Jessica looked at her mouth and noticed a few things, gave us some options and tools, and referred us to an amazing pediatric dentist. My daughter had severe oral ties and Jessica went through each step in the decision making process with us. Jessica helped me with all things breastfeeding, bottle feeding, understanding how to get my supply up, how to properly use a pump, latching and so much more. My daughter is now latching, I have little to no pain, I don't have to use nipple shields, and my daughter is growing! Jessica, thank you for your direction and support. It was a game changer!
Crystal
Jessica played such an integral role in my breastfeeding journey. I am currently 4 months in and still going strong with a baby who latches well and comfortably thanks to her. As a first time mom there are so many new things you have to learn, most of which DO NOT include a manual!
Breastfeeding was certainly a challange for me at first. I felt completely lost, like a failure - that the thing I was designed to do (feed my baby) I wasn't able to do. Jessica instantly made me feel loved, cared for, and understood. I was blown away by her knowledge and I know, without a doubt, I would have given up on my breastfeeding/pumping journey without her compassion and assistance!
Brenna
Like so many mamas, I really struggled with breastfeeding my firstborn. So many things went wrong, and I ended up pumping for over 8 months. When I had my second baby, I was determined to give nursing another shot. Jessica was the angel who helped support me in this emotional journey. She helped reassure me that it was possible to have a totally different experience with the second baby. And with her help, I did. She helped me get through latching pain and taught me so many tips and tricks to improve each feeding. Because of her, I was able to accomplish my breastfeeding goals and nourish my precious boy. She is gentle, professional and so supportive. She follows up after the consultation and truly cares about her mamas!
Nadine
Jessica is the perfect balance between knowledge, compassion, and patience! Being a first time mom, I needed so much guidance on all things breastfeeding and Jessica helped ease all of my concerns and questions - no matter how big or small. Because of Jessica’s help, I feel confident in my ability to breastfeed my little boy! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone on their breastfeeding journey - she is truly the biggest blessing!!!
Miranda
The relief I felt after meeting with Jessica the first time was unmatched! As a first time mom, I had no idea what to expect or how to properly breastfeed. Starting at the basics, Jessica gave me the instruction and courage to continue our breastfeeding journey. I would recommend Jessica to all first time moms planning to breastfeed!
Emily
Like a lot of first-time moms, my daughter and I really struggled to get the hang of breastfeeding. Jessica came to our home and did an excellent evaluation of my daughter's mouth and latch. She gave us conservative measures to treat my daughter's tongue tie which really improved breastfeeding for us but when it wasn't quite enough, she referred us to an amazing pediatric dentist for a release. Jessica was with us every step of the way. We would not be exclusively breastfeeding if it wasn't for her. Her compassion, knowledge, and passion for what she does are truly unmatched. I cannot recommend her enough!

- Should it be hurting like this?
- Do I have enough milk?
- How do I actually use my pump?
- What do I do to treat clogged ducts?
- How do I increase my supply?
- How should I go about weaning?
- How do I store my milk?
- Am I doing a good job?
- Will seeing a lactation consultant even help?
