Meet Melissa

  • I reached out to Melissa when I was worried about our sons weight gain. She assessed and we came up with a plan together. I did not feel like just a job, Melissa checked in regularly while we worked it all out. I’m so happy with how it all turned out and feel like I have so much more information and confidence after working with her.

  • Melissa was an amazing support for me through the years with breastfeeding. Upon contacting her, she instantly shared her knowledge on increasing milk supply and supported me through a rough time in my breastfeeding journey. She was always kind, caring, and supportive; showing genuine love and concern towards my troubles with nursing and baby. We would never have made it as far as we did without her knowledge and support. Thank you for everything you did for our family, Melissa. It was so appreciated and will never be forgotten.

  • Melissa is the most AMAZING lactation consultant, mother, and nurse I have ever met. I struggled with supply issues and she was able to identify the problem (tongue tie causing weak suck) and gave me real - non surgical- solutions! I was about to quit nursing at 2 months and now I’m going on month 8! She is also so so kind and helpful with anything ‘baby’. Thank you, Melissa. Lynn and I will never forget your loving guidance❤️
