"I wanted personalized care and assistance with my breastfeeding concerns 2 weeks postpartum and was delighted that Cathy's services were available close to home and in network with my insurance. She was knowledgeable, kind, and thorough and I left my consultation feeling more comfortable and empowered. She addressed all my questions and delivered a personalized care plan later that afternoon that has been a valuable resource for me. Cathy's office is also conveniently located in Stamford and very comfortable. I plan to continue using her as a resource the next several weeks to ensure that my baby and I have the best Breastfeeding journey possible!"~Brittany S

"Cathy was incredibly helpful to us and I can't recommend her enough! She was so kind and spent a lot of time with us to assess what was happening with our son. We have had a number of breastfeeding issues, and I was feeling very overwhelmed by it all. After our session, I walked away with some immediate things to look into and felt pointed in the right direction. I also felt like I had a renewed hope and confidence. I would recommend her to anyone looking for lactation help."~Caley
