“Teresa was absolutely amazing. As a first time mom navigating breastfeeding, Teresa came into our home and immediately put me at ease. She observed our little one in her natural environment and we had an open discussion about some of my concerns. Our baby was struggling with reflux, but was gaining weight normally. While I had some guesses about what was going on, Teresa’s expertise was exactly what I needed. She provided immediate hands-on recommendations that I could put into practice with my baby to improve her overall tension, lip tension and positioning. She proactively recommended other resources including other medical professionals, yoga and even podcasts to help answer some of my questions. I highly recommend Teresa!”

“Teresa was a miracle worker… I learned so much from her easy to understand explanations, and felt justified, empowered, and amazingly supported.”
