Melinda is beyond amazing! As a first time mom I struggled with breastfeeding and she provided priceless emotional and physical breastfeeding support in those first few weeks postpartum. She is a wealth of knowledge and with her help I even surpassed my breastfeeding goals. Thank you Melinda!

Melinda Changed 👏our 👏 lives 👏 as new parents!! Seeing Melinda regarding our son and exclusive pumping was by far the best decision we made after having our first baby.
Even if you don’t think you need to go, go anyways. Thank you, Melinda!!!!

“There’s no one else I’d rather have in my corner for the breastfeeding journey. Melinda is a tremendous advocate, incredibly genuine, patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Melinda navigated the challenges and celebrated the wins in a way that made us feel like we were never alone and supported to the highest level. ”

Melinda was the third lactation consultant I saw after an arduous delivery and latching challenges.
I was determined to keep breastfeeding but was on the brink of quitting, due to clogged ducts and postpartum anxiety.
However, through and answered prayer, Melinda taught me several nursing positions, she taught me how to tailor my pumping schedule, how to use Medihoney for healing sore nipples and oral exercises to help with my son’s frenectomy procedure.
She quickly became a trusted advisor and a crucial part of my support system to empower me in my motherhood journey. She is amazing at what she does and such an encouragement!

Having the love, expertise and care of Melinda supporting our nursing journey after not having nursed in 11 yrs was a blessing. She taught me skills prenatally that I never knew or learned all 4 pregnancies prior. Melinda was there hours after my son was born to help support our journey for the better. We continued to lean on her for support through a breast biopsy while nursing. Her words, presence, support, love, non-judgement and ears to listen to what I needed was what helped us succeed. She is who you need in your corner to help you navigate what is best for you and your baby.

Melinda was a lifesaver for me! And my boobs!! She made me feel calm and supported during a time of pain and confusion. As a new mom all you hope for is smooth sailing, but sometimes your body (or your baby) have different plans. Melinda is not just a lactation consultant, but a genuine caring mother that just gets it.
My baby had completely damaged my left nipple, I thought it would never look normal again. I always dreaded the left side feed. It was so painful! I ended up getting mastitis on that left side. I was SO ready to give up. I almost did, twice. But because of Melinda's genuine care, she really worked with me and my baby to help my boob recover without giving up. My left nipple now looks exactly like my right one, tissue damage is completely healed, the pain is gone, and I did not have to switch over to formula.
Melinda transformed our newborn experience from stressful and painful into pure baby bliss!! We cannot thank her enough!!

Breastfeeding can be SO hard. If you need someone on your post partum team who reassures, encourages, and truly cares about your breastfeeding journey, then you need Melinda. Melinda was there for me on my worst days. My baby and I struggled with low supply, tongue and lip tie, poor latch, tight muscles, and hormonal imbalance. She was the only health care provider who encouraged and supported my breastfeeding goals. Melinda truly cared. If you are willing to try, Melinda will search for a solution to your concern(s). Hands down, I will not see anyone else for my lactation needs.

Melinda is a lifesaver! She helped me navigate my daughter's lip and tongue tie revision and supported me both physically and emotionally throughout the process. Her availability and care made all the difference in our breastfeeding journey.
Melinda is an angel! Her support during my daughter's lip and tongue tie revision was invaluable. She was always available and her care for both me and my baby was above and beyond. I am forever grateful for her help.

I work in the service industry and I guess by default I always pay attention to how business treat their clients. I would like to say that from the moment we met Melinda, we felt like we were heard. My wife and I had just had our daughter Talitha and we were having issues breast feeding as well as finding out that she has a tongue tie. So by the time we got in to see Melinda, my wife was emotionally and physically exhausted so when Melinda spoke to her and asked her specifically how she was feeling, it was a simple question but it was so full of empathy that my wife started to break down. By the time we left the appointment and the way she took care of us, we felt alot much better in the car ride back than when we drove to the appointment. She’s amazing and you’ll have an amazing experience with her.
