Testimonials

Our experience with Demi as our lactation consultant was wonderful! She was available in short notice and came to our house for the consultation. She provided encouragement and a clear plan forward so that I could continue breastfeeding in a way that worked well for my daughter and I. She was available after the appointment via email to answer follow up questions as well.
-SARAH

“Demi was an excellent consultant to work with. Not only were we able to get in to see her within 1-2 days of first reaching out but she also came to us. She was very friendly, understanding, compassionate and informative. She didn’t even mind answering the thousands of questions that my 5 year old had. In fact, she incorporated her into the experience. When she left, I felt much more confident in my breastfeeding journey. I knew what my next steps were and how to keep moving forward. I’m so excited to continue this journey with her support!”
-A. PANTING

“She is a wealth of information. Her explanations were rooted in science which complimented all the personal experience she brought to our discussions. I appreciate that she put everything into layman terms for me too. While I nursed my first 2.5 years, I still needed help getting started with my second. Different baby, different challenges. I truly feel Demi set us up for a successful breastfeeding journey.”
-KATE

“I loved her calm nature and she was so super informative without being too overwhelming. – She came to my house to patiently go over all my questions about breastfeeding as it was a huge concern of mine. Super thankful I got to work with her and learned a ton! Thanks Demi for being there during a very special time!”
-MONICA

“Demi was a lifesaver for us! I had trouble getting my newborn to latch, and Demi helped me with that, and using nipple shields. – In those early days when everything seemed scary and overwhelming, she let us know everything was going to be ok. She has such a calming presence. – We will be forever grateful for her help!”
