Testimonials

Margaret came the same day I texted her (panicked because my newborn was still not latching/eating). She showed up quickly and put my mind at ease, came up with a plan of action, and came back less than 24 hours later to check in again. She was available via text between visits. I’d recommend her to anyone in my life in need of lactation support.

Mia

Margaret is a book of lactation knowledge! She gave great tips for a sucessful breastfeeding journey. She is very responsive, which is key when you have a newborn and need immediate assistance. As a FTM, to have the reassurance that you can do this and to have support is pivotal for being successful.

Francien

I was exclusively breastfeeding and was having all sorts of new mom questions/concerns…Margaret genuinely cared about helping me. I referred her to several of my friends…everyone loved her! She is truly a gem and any mom, new or experienced, would be lucky to work with her. She is absolutely all I needed with every single baby of mine.
