Shelly is wonderful! I’ve learned so much! I wish I had reached out to her sooner postpartum!

Shelly is amazing! My baby wasn’t gaining weight and we were in a panic. Shelly was available immediately and helped us understand what was going on. Our baby has several ties. Shelly came up with a plan including exercises to help our baby latch and suck better. She also helped me as a new mom schedule pumping and nursing so that I wasn’t overwhelmed. She is there to support you through every step and remains in contact to support you after your appointment. The best IBCLC!

Shelly is the best! She really knows her stuff. She is super responsive when you message her and is patient and talks you through everything. She gives you all the information you need and gave me tips on how to properly breastfeed and what supplements to take to help boost my supply. She has been been highly recommended by other people and she 100% worth it!

Shelly helped my breastfeeding journey so much! She helped my little guy with his latch, gave us exercises to do each day, and helped me with pumping. Shelly was responsive to questions I had over the next two weeks and checked in to make sure it was all going well. I completely recommend Shelly!
