Working with Patricia has been nothing short of lovely. Having met multiple ICBLCs prior, I can confidently say that we felt we met our match once we started working with her. She is clearly knowledgeable about all things lactation (including pumping and bottle feeding), and makes us feel really comfortable and safe during our appointments. She is also so clear about also prioritizing Mom and Dad in the newborn feeding journey – she always makes a point to check in on us and make sure we are feeling good about the plan. We only wish we had met her sooner in our breastfeeding journey. Can’t recommend her enough!

Patricia was instrumental in boosting my confidence in breast feeding. My daughter was born a bit early so we struggled with latching, Patricia assured me that some of our struggles were normal and gave helpful tips on how to strengthen her mouth to help with latching. We are still working and practicing, but we are using our nipple shield less and less because of these sessions.

My consultation with Tricia was wonderful. She is caring and attentive. She listened to all my concerns and addressed them with a thorough care plan. She was kind and understanding during the appointment and made me feel very supported and understood. I look forward to going back.
