| - I cannot recommend Lori highly enough to any mamas who are struggling in their breastfeeding relationship. Lori is knowledgeable, skilled, wise, and compassionate. Knowledge and skills are something that a lot of IBCLCs have, but Lori's wisdom and compassion are what make her a cut above the rest. To "know" something is one thing, but to recognize how to apply that knowledge in different situations is another. Lori is able to do this time and time again.
I came to Lori first when I was struggling with my second baby. She was severely tongue tied and lip tied and was unable to latch. We managed the first 9 days of her life by hand expression and syringe feeding, but I was so ready to be feeding at the breast. I saw Lori after the revision and she helped tremendously with positioning, adjusting my latch and reassuring me of my baby's ability to transfer milk post-revision. Since we had so much time left in our consult, Lori took the time to show me how to breastfeed laying down and reclined, which is a game changer when you're a tired new mom. Lori's extra care and attention made me feel confident and empowered as a mother.
Secondly, I am a doula in the local birth community. I refer many of my clients to Lori for both in-office and in-home visits. Over and over again, the feedback I get from clients is that "Lori is amazing", and they're spot on! She truly is! My clients feel cared for, listened to, and supported in their journey to figure out breastfeeding.
Though Lori's children are grown, she has not forgotten what it's like to be a tired, overwhelmed, teary-eyed new mom and that kindness and compassion shines through as she interacts with her clients. If you're on the fence about whether or not to hire an IBCLC or whether or not Lori is the one to hire, take my advice and schedule an appt with her today. I can assure you it's one of the best investments you will make!
