As a second-time mom who had a successful breastfeeding journey with my first, I was feeling discouraged that it was not coming as easy with my second. After meeting with Jessica, I felt empowered and encouraged! She was thorough, intentional, informative and did such a great job coaching and explaining. She made me feel comfortable instantly and was a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough for mommas needing some support!

Testimonials
Thanks to the Milk Box:
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
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!
Amy
I can't recommend Jessica enough! She has been incredibly helpful in identifying my baby's tongue & lip tie. She helped us with exercises, feeding positions and resources to make breastfeeding not only possible, but less painful. She has a ton of knowledge regarding breastfeeding, milk supply, hormone changes, and the entire tongue structure and function. She has been super supportive and sweet to me & my baby throughout this entire process. I will be calling her right away when baby #2 comes along! Thankful for her!
Sara
When I initially reached out to Jessica, I was worried I was going to have to completely stop breastfeeding. I was struggling with constant nipple irritation and pain and I thought it was only going to get worse. Jessica came over and turned everything around for the good.
She showed me the lip tie that my daughter has and gave me exercises and massage techniques to help. She also helped me improve my daughter’s latch with some subtle, but very significant position changes. In addition, she recommended chiropractic care.
Jessica has an incredibly loving and compassionate presence and she has a special gift for helping women in their breastfeeding journey.
All of her tips helped resolve my nipple pain within a couple weeks. My daughter is now 2 months old and breastfeeding is going very smoothly. Jessica has also been there for me whenever questions have come up - I am so thankful for all of her help!
Erica
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 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
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
Truly blessed and thankful for coming across Jessica. I really don’t know if I would still be breastfeeding my baby today without HER help. As a first time mom, I really didn't have a clue what I was doing - especially because my baby had a lip + tongue tie. Breastfeeding was overwhelming + I wanted to give up! BUT God truly answered my prayers because I needed her help. I loved that we could schedule a at home consult - nothing like being in the comfort of your own home! I might have shed some tears when she left from the consult because she made me feel like I could do it. I felt confident + Hopeful. I was so happy that I could keep that bond between me + baby. Baby 6 months later + we are still exclusively breastfeeding. I couldn’t have done it with out her!
Karina
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
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.

is this normal?
We often find ourselves not only answering the following questions, but asking them as nursing mothers ourselves. It’s a confusing world out there with so many opinions, and baby brain is real. Have you asked yourself any of these questions?
- 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?
IF YOU’RE ASKING YOURSELF EVEN ONE OF THESE QUESTIONS, LET US HELP YOU!
