Testimonials
“It’s hard to put into words how amazing my experience with Christine has been. She has been a savior and a lifeline through my breastfeeding journey. Beginning in those early postpartum days when I was vulnerable and overwhelmed - it was like she swooped in and made me feel confident, empowered and most of all, at ease. Christine has continued to be a huge support and is always extremely responsive, compassionate and knowledgeable. Christine is easy to talk to and she truly listens to your concerns. Her relaxed and “no pressure” attitude empowers you to make the choices that are best for YOU and YOUR family. I am forever grateful for the impact Christine made on me and my baby’s well being.”

“There are no words that adequately describe Christine and her genuine caring, love and knowledge she brings to mamas. She is someone you want in your corner. She goes above and beyond and she clearly is made to help mamas and babies. She brought comfort and support and made me feel confident. I couldn’t recommend Christine enough to any mama and I am so thankful our paths have crossed. THANK YOU!!! A million times over!!”

“Christine has been incredible to work with! It is difficult to put into words how supportive and knowledgeable she has been. She was an integral part of my family’s breastfeeding journey and is the reason I am still breastfeeding my son now.
Just weeks after I became a mother in my most vulnerable and weepy state, I made an appointment with Christine. She is so consultative and listened to learn my goals as well as my situation/lifestyle so she could tailor our plan to what would make our family successful. She is so unique in that she puts mom and mom’s mental health at the forefront of the consultation and I am so grateful for that. I would not hesitate to work with Christine in the future. In fact, I am still working with her on a plan as I transition back to work!”

“Working with Christine was an absolute God send. As a third time mom who struggled with breast feeding with each prior baby, Christine was committed to making the process both successful and enjoyable. She is dedicated, supportive, compassionate and went above and beyond countless times to ensure I felt cared for along with my baby. I now recommend her to all of my mom friends and could not be more grateful to have her as a part of my postpartum and motherhood journey.”

“What can I say about Christine? Wow! Her professionalism and personal touch made my experience (just 8 days postpartum) so unbelievably amazing! First, she showed up with coffee. That right there is enough for a new first time mom who had been struggling to get her baby to latch since leaving the hospital 5 days prior! But then she got down to business and I was blow away!
She really took the time to get to know more about me, my family and my goals for breast feeding my son. It could have been a very stark and cold visit all about details and latching but Christine really made the visit feel like a catch up session between friends (one friend just happened to have her boobs out the whole time). She was able to help me get my son to latch very quickly and set me up with tips and tricks on how to do it even when she wasn’t here! She measured me to make sure I was using the correct flanges while pumping and was able to provide me with the correct sizes when what I had was too big. What I really appreciated was how encouraging Christine was when it came to doing what works for me and my breast feeding journey.
About 2 weeks after our first meeting we had a follow up to see how my sons latch was and how we were doing! She had given me so much information in our initial visit it felt like a disservice to not follow up with her to make sure the work my son and I were putting in was worth it, and it was! The work Christine is doing is absolutely amazing! It takes someone special to make a complete stranger feel so comfortable in while doing something very personal and intimate but she did just that during both visits. Any of my friends who are expecting or hope to be soon will absolutely be getting a boobie mama recommendation for me!”— Sarah
“Christine played a pivotal part in my early parts of motherhood. I started partnering with Christine when my son was 3 months old. As a new mom, I felt lost, guilty, anxious…all the post-partum feelings! Was I feeding my baby enough? What is going on with his lip and tongue tie? Why does it feel like I am failing? And in, swooped Christine. Her authentic charisma and natural confidence allowed me to feel empowered and take ownership over my own lactation journey—and helped me become a pumping goddess! She approaches her clients like genuine friends. I felt immediately comfortable with zero judgement (something I failed to receive at the hospital or with other outlets). I am forever thankful for her guidance and knowledge and could not recommend her services more. You will gain so much more than an expert coming to your house. You will gain a confidant, friend and someone who hypes you up to be the mom you want to be. Oh, did I mention she is a guru when it comes to sleep training? With a new baby on the way, I fully plan on engaging her services as a refresher once again!”

“I can’t recommend Christine enough for any mom who wants to breastfeed! As a new mom, breastfeeding was more complex and overwhelming than I anticipated. One of the main things I was worried about was my use of a nipple shield and the possibility that I might not ever be able to breastfeed without it. During our session, Christine was able to show me strategies to get my baby to latch without the shield. It’s been five days since her visit, and we have not had to use the shield at ALL since then! This is after seeing several other IBCLCs during our hospital stay and lots of attempts at home with no success. I couldn’t be happier. She also provided lots of valuable input on my baby’s latch, milk transfer, how to identify his swallow sounds, how often to wash pump parts, the correct flange sizes, and more. I felt like she really cared about our success, and she was very non-judgmental and really listened to our experience and goals. I highly recommend Christine to any breastfeeding mom!”

“When I met Christine, I had a 2 week old baby and significant breast engorgement. I was physically uncomfortable, an emotional wreck, and was very nervous to have someone come into my home while I was feeling like this. But from the moment Christine walked into my apartment, I felt safe, heard, and understood. Christine did an incredibly thorough and evidence-based assessment. Every step of the way, she provided excellent education and ensured that I fully understood what was going on with my body. She worked with me to relieve my engorgement and kept me from progressing to requiring medical intervention for mastitis. She also identified that my son had a tongue-tie, which was not assessed in the hospital, then went to great lengths to connect me with other great providers to address the tongue tie.
What I appreciated most about working with Christine was how she showed that she truly cared about me and my son. Not only did she check in frequently about how breastfeeding was progressing, she also asked about our sleep, my mental health, and she encouraged me to do activities that were meaningful to me before I had my son. She is the absolute best and I HIGHLY recommend working with her!”— Katie
“I cannot say enough good things about Christine! She helped me switch from breastfeeding to pumping when I went back to work and made the process so easy. She also helped me wean when that time came. Everything she does is with such calm, kindness, and humor. She is not only a baby expert but becomes your friend, too!

“Christine is absolutely amazing. She is warm, supportive, funny, and knows her shit. She came to my house when I was a week or two postpartum and in a rough place and put me at ease immediately. My second was having trouble latching and also was incredibly gassy. Christine took time to really listen to what was going on, observe and give her in put. When my baby was later on struggling taking a bottle, Christine spent time walking through different bottles and nipple flows as well as positions. She is the perfect balance of laid back and direct. She made me feel empowered to continue breastfeeding and gave me tools to help get through the harder early days. She’s also incredibly available, still answering questions I have through my breastfeeding and bottle feeding journey. She’s the best!”

“Being a first time mom and worrying about breastfeeding your little one can be so stressful. I’m so lucky I had Christine to help educate, guide, and keep me calm during those first few months. She helped me figure out how to feed my little girl. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs any level of help — small or large!”
— Sarah
“Christine was the best thing that happened to our family during a challenging time. I was exhausted, burnt out, and reluctant to accept outside help. When I finally gave in, I was overjoyed and beyond relieved to have Christine. She felt like an extension of me as a mother. What began as a working relationship quickly turned into a friendship, which is no surprise given how she can make anyone laugh even in the most stressful of times. Christine is the absolute best and you won’t know how much you need her until she’s a part of your life :)”
— Alex
“If you’re a new mom, you need Christine! Not only is she knowledgeable, professional, and kind, she is so down to earth, funny, and will make you feel 100% comfortable. At a time when I was feeling so unsure and vulnerable in my new mom life, she helped me feel confident and validated. Christine also helped me with the weaning process when the time came, and I can honestly say it was a breeze! I could not recommend Christine enough!”

“Christine was a breath of fresh air working with. When she first came over I was having trouble getting my baby to latch on one side and one of my breasts was extremely irritated from not having my baby latch correctly. She came in and totally helped me reset. She answered all of my questions and was so helpful and supportive as I started to navigate breastfeeding for the first time. It can be extremely overwhelming and daunting your first time navigating everything and Christine made sure I was comfortable and helped me feel at ease. She was calm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable and stayed as long as it took until I felt like I knew what I was doing. She helped run through my pump with me as well and made sure I knew how to use it/ had all of the correct pieces in place. The most valuable thing about Christine is that she listens to you and wants to help do what is best for you and your baby. I can't thank her enough for all of her help!”

”Christine is amazing and I am so glad that I found her! I reached out prior to having my first baby knowing I would need additional support. I had an unexpected traumatic birth coupled with a c-section which totally through me off kilter. Christine scheduled an in-home appointment with me immediately and fit me into her schedule within a week. I was able to be in the hospital and know that I had an appointment with her just a few days after I would return home which provided me with a sense of calm. Christine was lovely, she made me feel comfortable right away, and was extremely knowledgeable about breast and bottle feeding. Besides her expertise, Christine was an incredible postpartum support system. I don’t even know that she realizes how much she helped me postpartum. She is genuine, raw, and absolutely hilarious! However, she’s also a mom and just GETS IT! She’s been able to help me throughout my recovery and the challenges I faced breastfeeding while healing from a c-section. No one tells you about the struggles you can face becoming a new mom and navigating your feeding journey. Christine, takes your mental health into account and educates you on options and solutions. I highly recommend working with Christine!”
