What people are saying
“I am beyond grateful to have had Allison’s expert and caring support in welcoming my second baby. I struggled tremendously with breastfeeding my firstborn. Carrying much guilt, disappointment and anxiety with my first breastfeeding experience, I was hoping to achieve more success with my second. Yes, Allison helped me optimize my milk output even with previously low supply and diagnosed insufficient glandular tissue. But she was so much more than that!
She asked questions, listened, gently guided, and helped me prioritize my mental health and find balance as a mom of two. She helped me redefine what success could look like for ME. She readily responded as she learned how my new baby and I were doing together. Both my husband and I were better able to bond and be present with our sweet baby girl, feeling calmer and more balanced about everything related to nursing and baby feeding. Her approach is nuanced and individualized, in a way I have never felt from a practitioner before.
I felt like I had someone in my corner, something you really need as a mom of a new tiny person! I am so grateful for her. In those days anticipating baby’s arrival, in those wee hours where you’re struggling to navigate what’s up and what’s down, in the subsequent weeks as things continue shifting, changing, so fast - I wish every mom and family had Allison. I truly cannot recommend her enough.”

“I have been fortunate to have been in the care of Allison for several stages of life: the pregnancy and birth of my first child, nursing challenges, postpartum and other healthcare needs. Allison has a way of instantly making you feel at ease. I have always felt deeply heard and cared for. In all instances and interactions with her, I have felt that she is invested in my whole wellbeing and is looking at both the issue at hand and the larger picture. To say that Allison has incredible bedside manner while also being highly skilled is an understatement, she is one of a kind.”

“I sought Allison's guidance and support amidst, what was for me, the dark depths of breastfeeding challenges, postpartum blues, and the wild transition into motherhood. Allison thoughtfully and expertly turned feelings of self-doubt and frustration into confidence and hope. Together, we put a plan in place that met every moment of need with a manageable set of tips and solutions to get me from one point in time to the next at a pace that felt right for me and my baby.
After working with Allison, all the things I wanted to achieve with breastfeeding stopped feeling overwhelming and started feeling better and beautiful. She's a wonderful listener and a compassionate practitioner with incredible knowledge and expertise. She also has a knack for making you smile and laugh in moments where you may otherwise want to cry over spilled (breast)milk! I'm so grateful to have had Allison in our lives during that time and anyone else would be so lucky to have her in theirs.”
