Testimonial

“Working with Cassandra has been nothing short of life-changing for my breastfeeding journey. From the very first meeting, her knowledge, compassion, and support made all the difference. My daughter was only feeding on one side, and I was overwhelmed, frustrated and unsure of how to fix it. Cassandra immediately recognized that my baby had a lip tie and recommended an amazing pediatric dentist to perform a simple procedure. That recommendation alone changed everything!

But Cassandra didn’t stop there—she continued to work closely with us after the procedure, guiding me step by step to wean my baby off the nipple shield which we used temporarily after the procedure. She made sure I felt supported and confident every step of the way, answering all my questions with so much patience and care. Her home visits were especially invaluable; she was so understanding of my struggles and created a calm, encouraging environment that made me feel like I could truly do this. I also was getting engorged in the mornings and she gave amazing tips, websites and guidance to help me resolve any and all issues with milk supply. 

Now, at just 7 weeks old, my daughter is feeding on both sides without any shields, and I could never have imagined we’d get here without Cassandra’s help. She is truly a miracle worker and has made such a positive impact on my journey as a mom. I will forever be grateful for her kindness, expertise, and dedication.

If you’re struggling with breastfeeding in any way, I cannot recommend Cassandra enough—she’s an absolute blessing!”

“There aren’t enough good things to say about Cassandra! My son was born at 33 weeks and spent 3 weeks in the NICU. When he came home, he was fully bottle fed with recreational breastfeeding. I had exclusively nursed my daughter, so bottles were a new concept, and I really wanted to at least mostly nurse. To say that I was overwhelmed and discouraged with the transfer was an understatement. Cassandra brought her expertise as an experienced Mother/Baby Nurse, compassion, patience, and knowledge throughout our journey. She helped set realistic expectations of the time frame and where we were at, made suggestions about what we might discuss with our pediatrician to make our son more comfortable, made suggestions about my pumping schedule based on my supply and health needs, and listened/was a shoulder on really hard days. She was there to help beyond just the time she was clocked for – helping thoroughly was more important than “clocking in and out”. I can happily say that my son is 4 months tomorrow, we are successfully fully nursing with 1 bottle a day. Cassandra has cheered us the entire way – including help with regulating my supply after going from fully pumping to fully nursing – supporting each decision we made and encouraged us to keep working toward what was right for us as a family and my mental health. I would highly recommend Cassandra to anyone who is looking for help on their lactation journey (nursing and pumping/bottles). Thank you so much for all you have done for me and my family!”
