After five weeks of unsuccessfully breastfeeding my newborn, Kara came into my home and gave me the knowledge and support I was so desperately looking for. In the very first session I was finally able to breastfeed my baby. Since then I have continued my breastfeeding journey with Kara’s support and we are making strides that I didn’t think was possible before her. I am extremely grateful to have found Kara and highly recommend her to any mom wishing to breastfeed and having trouble. Thank you Kara!

I send every single one of my new mom friends straight to Kara. When my baby boy started showing intolerance/allergy issues, Kara was a knowledgeable resource and shoulder to lean on. She came to my home and spent over an hour with me multiple times. She took time to listen to me, reassure me, educate me and encourage me. If you’re struggling with latch, oral ties, allergies or milk supply - Kara is a gold mine of wisdom.

Kara made my son so much happier… and saved my sanity! My baby had been colicky, spitting up, and clearly uncomfortable after feeds. I knew his stomach was upset, but I didn’t know how to help it. Kara came over when he was 8 weeks old, knew exactly what was causing our issues, and gave me easy tips to implement to counteract what was going on. Immediately after making the changes she taught us, he became so much happier and started sleeping much longer stretches at night! If you suspect your baby is having any sort of stomach discomfort, I highly recommend calling Kara - she’s so knowledgeable and helpful! She is also a delight as a person. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kara!

Kara saved me from giving up on breastfeeding. My newborn would not latch correctly on one side and with continous attempts, I was not only in so much pain, but exhausted. My baby also was going down in weight, due to not producing enough. Kara showed me different ways to help him latch correctly, came up with a plan for his weight gain and my milk production, and in less then a week he reached his birth weight. She is very knowledgeable, patient, thorough, and caring! It's a plus that the registration and insurance process was quick and easy! Definitely recommend Kara to all mom's, new and seasoned, who are going through their breastfeeding journey!
