Hey, Mama, before we go any further, I want to bust some breastfeeding myths
You’ve been told breastfeeding is a natural and intuitive experience you and your baby will share as soon as they’re born. But, the truth is, breastfeeding is a technical skill that requires education and practice.
I’m dedicated to helping mamas understand breastfeeding doesn’t come naturally to the majority of women, and it may not for you.
But that’s okay. With the right support and guidance, you’ll escape feeding anxiety, avoid breastfeeding pain, and wave goodbye to mom guilt and parental comparison.
Together, we’ll walk your breastfeeding journey, giving you the skills and confidence you need to nurture your baby, and ensure their future health and happiness.
“Working with Amy was one of the best decisions we made before welcoming our first baby”
After he was born, the doctors were concerned that baby wasn’t gaining enough weight which was obviously very stressful. I also had a very painful postpartum. Amy did everything to make me feel comfortable while I breastfed, and she taught me different positions to hold my baby in order to ensure he was eating well. When I was concerned my supply was down, Amy showed me how to use the scale to measure how much baby was eating each feed. This was a huge relief because I was able to ensure my baby was getting the food he needed to gain weight! My husband and I have reflected how lucky we’ve been to work with someone as knowledgeable and as kind as Amy. It’s really made the first months so much easier knowing that he eats well — all thanks to Amy!

As a mom with 15+ years of experience as an in-home lactation consultant, I know your support team will make or break your pregnancy, birth, and the months following.
When I had my babies, I was a working mama with no village to be seen. While every sacrifice I made and challenge I faced was entirely worth it for my kids, I now see that I didn’t have to struggle so intensely.
I had an opportunity to invest in a support system I could depend on. But instead, I focused on the material things and found myself navigating my breastfeeding journey without the understanding and guidance I needed.
I can tell you with confidence that the hand-painted nursery, beautiful stroller, and an overstuffed closet aren’t what you need postpartum.
What’s really going to make a difference during your weeks of recovery, late nights, and new experiences is your support: experts who know how to best care for you and your baby.
I’m here to help you feed with ease, so you can have peace of mind about your baby’s health and development.
Put the material things on hold & invest in the in-home support you’ll be forever thankful for

“We are now exclusively breastfeeding”
As a first time mom whose newborn wasn’t gaining weight fast enough, Amy was an absolute lifesaver. I was nervous I would have to give up on my goal of breastfeeding and switch to formula, but with her support we not only got baby’s weight up, but also established a good milk supply and got to a point where we are now exclusively breastfeeding. Our baby is happy and healthy thanks to Amy’s amazing responsiveness, helpful “bootcamp” plan, and motivational messages!

“She was the only healthcare provider I had postpartum who prioritized my wellbeing as well as my daughter’s and helped instill confidence in me as a first time mom”
I am so grateful for Amy. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, adapts to each woman’s needs and helped me navigate my oversupply issues. Most importantly, though, she was the only healthcare provider I had postpartum who prioritized my wellbeing as well as my daughter’s and helped instill confidence in me as a first time mom. I always breathed a sigh of relief after she left my house and she was critical in ensuring I had a positive postpartum experience.

“Amy is helping me through what feels like a roller coaster journey”
I reached out to Amy months before my due date because I knew I wanted to breastfeed but had no clue where to begin. After a great first phone call, I booked her Luxe package and I can’t overstate how valuable it’s been. Amy is helping me through what feels like a roller coaster journey…They say it takes a village to raise a child, and I’m so happy Amy is part of mine. Do yourself a favor and reach out to her before your baby arrives so that you can benefit from ongoing support like I have.
