a company FOR parents, BY parents.

Are you a first time or 4th time mom, searching reddit, googling, and asking in the group chat things like:
I want you to hear, from the start, that formula can be a friend to breastfeeding and pumping parents. Many people think lactation consultants only care about breastfeeding - not true! I care about you and your baby as whole people. Formula is a tool in our toolbox and I am happy to support you as you breastfeed, pump and bottle feed breastmilk, combo feed, or transition to all formula. Sometimes you can make choices, and sometimes the choice is made for you for any number of reasons -
you need reliable and compassionate support no matter what.
And I love formula. (You probably didn't expect to see that on my home page!)
As a board-certified lactation consultant, I can guide you through answering all of these questions and more. We can dig in to complex feeding issues alongside planning for returning to work or pumping while traveling. I can help you make sense of what it means to be a breastfeeding or combo-feeding parent.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork

Heather brings such a calm, kind, and nurturing presence. She listens well, she is thorough, and her support goes beyond our in-person visits together. She has answered every message in a timely manner. I was never left hanging. I truly couldn’t have began and gone through my breastfeeding journey without her. She is someone you absolutely want in your corner. I am eternally grateful to her!

I always say, "Heather is brilliant, life changing, and my son wouldn’t be breastfeeding without her!”
-Goodlettsville Mom of 4
Heather is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable! She helped me problem solve the challenges I had pumping and nursing twins and helped me increase my milk supply. She gave great tips and I always felt like she was on my team. I’ve worked with many lactation consultants and Heather is the one I’d recommend
most highly.
