Kara is the best of the best. Kara brings extensive knowledge and skill along with acute awareness and empathy. She listens and connects to your needs- which is vital given how emotional and vulnerable I have been when I needed her support. I wish I could work with her more, but she helped me work through my issues pretty quickly and easily. I wish more of my healthcare professionals were like her.

We had a wonderful experience with Kara today. We cannot say enough positive things about her warm demeanor, wealth of knowledge, and inclusivity as a IBCLC. She increased our confidence in our feeding plan and our baby’s growth and development, and we feel so much more prepared moving forward!!

Kara was wonderful! She helped me come up with a feeding plan that works for my family and gave me so much more confidence and comfort feeding my newborn. She also helped identify issues that might have gone unnoticed! Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about Kara! As a first time mom with a baby who was having trouble latching, I was stressed and nervous the first time I met with Kara. I was put at ease quickly though by her calming, empathetic, and patient manner. Our appointments together were very effective, and our baby went from latching for the first time with a nipple shield during our first appointment with Kara to being able to latch without a shield after two more meetings. In between sessions, Kara also answered all of my questions thoroughly and quickly. The resources that she were always helpful as well. I felt very supported throughout the entire process! I highly recommend Kara!!

Kara was such a valuable resource for us in those early weeks. She was knowledgeable and listened well to our questions as we figured out what works best for our family!

We found City Lactation through AETNA and booked an in home consultation with Kara. Kara was fantastic! She put our minds at ease immediately and made the whole experience very comfortable. Our consultation flew by and we felt very informed and empowered (there was no pushiness or pre agenda to push breast feeding). In fact it wasn’t until our 2nd session with Kara that we got a latch and a successful feed. The follow up resources and quick responses to questions were brilliant. We highly recommend Kara and City Lactation.

Kara has made my postpartum journey more manageable and enjoyable by helping and advising me how to feed my baby for the first year. Motherhood and breastfeeding are very challenging and unfortunately a lot of other medical professionals are not nice or helpful, luckily Kara is excellent! I found her to be very nurturing and kind as well as an expert in her field

Kara was full of wisdom, emotional intelligence and very helpful.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kara. I’ve had two sessions with her thus far and she is the reason I am continuing with my breastfeeding journey. She provided me with the education and tools I needed for pumping and breastfeeding and has even been helpful with tips for my baby who suffers from reflux. I rely on Kara’s detailed care plan DAILY. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kara and her services. The support has been incredible and more people need to know about it!

I’m so glad we had several lactation consultations with Kara. She made us feel so at ease and provided much needed support and reassurance during the early days of breastfeeding and looking after our newborn. I had a follow up session to go through breast pumping and when to introduce a bottle as part of the feeding process. This was so helpful as Kara was able to help me understand the process and measure me correctly, without their help I would have had no idea! Kara is so lovely and I highly recommend her consultation for all new parents.

Kara was extremely helpful in figuring out what works best for our family. She is a wealth of knowledge, and we loved her gentle and flexible approach. We always felt as if she was listening to our specific needs and catering our care plan accordingly. She is completely judgement-free and a pleasure to work with. We would recommend Kara to anyone looking for lactation support.

Kara Koehler was an amazing support to me as a new mother. She understood my challenges, acknowledged my progress, and helped me feel good about the direction in which I was headed. My whole family got great advice to use moving forward. Thank you!!

Kara was a life saver: knowledgeable, patient, and caring. At a very vulnerable time, she provided the support and encouragement we needed to get our baby on track with breastfeeding. It was the most personalized and helpful care we received. She was full of resources and held no judgement. I’d recommend her and city lactation to anyone.

I would have quit breastfeeding without Kara and her team. I really struggled initially when my baby lost weight and I was experiencing a great deal of pain. I saw Kara (or a team member) at least once per week. They gave me small, attainable goals and provided coaching. It wasn’t overwhelming, but ultimately led to strong overall long-term results. She was also very accessible, responsive, and invested in my success. I would recommend her to anyone!

Kara is one of a kind. She has a kind and peaceful heart. She takes her time and is able to feel the energy in the room. Her knowledge in lactation is fantastic. She never left a question unanswered.

Kara was a crucial part of our breastfeeding journey. With her guidance and care we were able to meet our goals and maintain our sanity! My only regret is not engaging with Kara our first week at home.
