Donna saved my breastfeeding relationship with both kids. Without her, I wouldn’t have nursed my now 5.5yo until 14 months and I wouldn’t be nursing my newly 1 year old. She’s knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated to her job. She spent countless hours helping us figure out why both babies didn’t transfer milk well and why I was having supply issues. She provided emotional support when I wanted to give up countless times. She also is well connected in the industry to wonderful oral surgeons, craniosacral therapists and feeding therapists. If you want to work with the best, work with Donna.

Donna is a life- and sanity-saver. She was so kind and patient. As a first time mom experiencing serious breastfeeding issues (crying in pain every time it was time to nurse) she immediately knew what the issue was and helped put together a lactation plan to make sure I could feed my baby the way I was determined to achieve. If I could leave her more stars, I would.

If you are planning to breastfeed or are having trouble you NEED Donna!
First off let me just say THANK YOU!! From the bottom of my heart! I first started seeing Donna virtually during the pandemic, when I was 28 weeks pregnant, I was at high risk for having a premature baby and breastfeeding was the one thing as a mother I was determined to do. Donna was so helpful in teaching me what to do when baby did come and I definitely would have failed without the knowledge and tips she gave me to look out for! As it turns out my beautiful daughter was born with a pretty severe lip tie and a mild tongue tie! So many issues sprouted from that. My daughter didn’t eat the first 36 hrs until finally she latched with a nipple shield, let’s just say I was less than ecstatic to be using that but it did the job and allowed me to continue my journey. 4 long months pass and we are finally able to wean away from the shield. All the while I am waiting for my state to open up so I can have my daughters ties revised. Myself, Donna, and the whole support group (on Monday’s, 2-4pm, I highly recommend) cheered me on and continued to reassure me that I CAN GET THROUGH THIS!! My daughter is now 8 months old and I had thought I got through all the hard parts and THOUGHT I had surpassed the pain and problems associated with the ties… but boy was I wrong! We FINALLY were able to have Raeleigh’s ties revised and it has SAVED me! Hands down best decision I ever could have made! I can say finally after 8 months that I am breastfeeding 100% pain free! I never could have made it here without Donna! And if you are wondering if it’s worth it or not to have ties revised it is absolutely the best choice to have them done! In addition to breastfeeding troubles my daughters tie was so tight it was causing a gap tooth which could have caused a plethora of other problems which are now all avoided because of revision! It can be scary to have something done to your sweet new innocent little baby but I swear to you the part my daughter hated the most was having to sit still! The actual revision is pain free and quick! Then troubles from leaving a tie are tenfold much worse than having them revised! I 100% recommend Donna and revision! Donna you are Wonder Woman!!!!️
Keep on keeping on! Even though I’m in Georgia you will always be my Go-To!!️
