I have fostered babies but never birthed or breast fed a baby until this year. After fostering four babies, I had a lot of knowledge about newborns-but very little info on breast-feeding. I didn’t take a breast-feeding class before I gave birth. I went into the experience with a very open attitude-thinking if it worked out, then I would do it. I spoke with a lactation consultant at the hospital where I gave birth. To be honest, it was an overwhelming amount of comments on what NOT to do. Within her first few days of life, I ... read more

Definitely recommend going to Nikki if you’re considering/planning on breastfeeding or pumping! The majority say it’s something that comes naturally, but as a first-time mom I will say no it isn’t. I am super grateful that Nikki was there to help guide me through it all! She taught me breastfeeding positions, pump flange sizing, exercises to release breast engorgement, helped identify tongue and lip ties, etc etc - and she did this all with so much compassion and patience and encouragement. We’ll be going back for future app... read more

What stood out most was how supportive a... read more

What truly sets her apart is her ability to notice and address issues that other lactation consultants we’ve seen did not catch or resolve. We’re still working with her, but the support, competence, a... read more

I first met Nikki in the hospital after delivering my first baby via an unplanned C-section. I was desperate to breastfeed, but with no milk supply and no clear direction, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. Nikki spent more time with me than she probably had to, patiently setting my son and me up for success using a supplemental feeding method and educating me about tongue ties. That support changed everything. Fast forward to my second baby, I knew I would need lactation support again, especially after learning he... read more
