A Testimonial from Elissa J.
Breastfeeding is hard. If you would have asked me if I’d be nursing a toddler when my daughter was a newborn, I would have said, “no way!”. The early days were so hard on us; I was constantly in tears as a first-time mom in pain and never thought I’d be able to have a breastfeeding journey. I had sought out help everywhere, but didn’t truly make any strides until I met with Holly. Holly’s sweetness, knowledge and support immediately let me know that I could breastfeed despite our challenges. She has helped me through all issues my daughter and I encountered at different stages: food intolerances, latch issues, tongue tie, oversupply, positioning, clogs, etc... She also helped me feel confident in how to use my pump as a full-time working mom. But in addition to her deep lactation knowledge and staying current on lactation research, you just know she truly cares about you and your family and wants you to succeed because it’s who she is. She always checks in on us and I will always feel so connected to Holly. My daughter and I would not have been able to have such a special journey together without her.
