Ratings and reviews
Melissa has been so great to work with and has helped me in my breastfeeding journey from the beginning. From getting started and helping me setup my pump to mastitis help to checking in when something feels off. She’s also up for stopping by for a last-minute appointment whenever I need something. She truly cares about your breastfeeding journey and making you feel at ease. I highly recommend Melissa if you’re planning on breastfeeding. She’s a great resource! Thank you for all your help Melissa!!

Literal lifesaver. Tears of relief and gratitude filled my eyes every time I saw Melissa! Breastfeeding was really hard for me and my goal was to make it one year. Add the anxiety of being a new mom and I was desperate. BUT MELISSA came alongside me just 2 weeks postpartum with such wisdom, comfort, and patience, giving me confidence and assurance with practical and emotional support that not only did I make it to one year, but was eventually over producing to where my entire freezer was FILLED with milk! Nursing was now much easier (even enjoyable!) and I was at ease knowing I had a stash to keep nourishing my baby even as I went back to work. To sum things up, here's the heart of Melissa: when my baby went on a nursing strike on Mother's Day (really now?!), Melissa's response to my panicked text was "There's nothing I'd rather do than help a mom on Mother's Day. I'll be right there!!" 😭 She can be your lifesaver too
