Diane is deeply caring and smart. I felt truly listened to when working with Diane. She supported not only my nursing journey, but also my motherhood journey. From the first fragile days postpartum through weaning, Diane sees mothers as whole people and validates all the many emotions that come with this wild ride. She is incredibly knowledgeable. She always had many suggestions and resources for any issue I faced through nursing two children. In particular, when I struggled with Breastfeeding Aversion and Agitation (BAA) while nursing my toddler, Diane was a wealth of information. I felt awful and didn't know how to explain what was going on, but I felt safe reaching out to Diane for help. She made me feel seen and understood. Diane helped me understand what was happening and work through ways to ease the BAA. While many lactation consultants are primarily versed in working with babies, Diane is a sage guide through extended breastfeeding as well. I am so thankful for Diane's loving guidance.
