      Latisha is incredibly warm and caring, and has become a member of our family. She helped me get settled in with breastfeeding, and addressed a few early challenges. She also helped me transition 11 months later, a process that went so much more smoothly than with my older son. I can’t thank her enough for her calm presence in the first few postpartum weeks, and all of her help as we adjusted to being a family of four. I highly recommend Latisha!

      To put into words how much Latisha helped our family during our postpartum experience feels almost impossible. She was there from the beginning with a warm, friendly, motherly presence to guide us through the first 6 weeks of parenthood. She answered every question with ease, and treated my baby as if it were her own. This was our first baby, and I barely trusted my own family to hold him…but there was something about Latisha that made me feel so comfortable and at ease when she was in our home and taking care of our newborn. She has the skills and the knowledge, that’s undeniable…it’s who she is as a person that makes her so incredible at what she does. She became a part of our family that first night with our baby boy, and she will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We will absolutely be using her services again with our future babies! I can’t possibly say enough good things about her.

      Latisha came alongside me and my family immediately following the birth of our third child and during a very busy and exhausting season of life! She helped us not only stay sane but thrive in the areas of feeding our infant son and maximizing rest/sleep when we could through overnight doula and lactation support. My main goal was to exclusively breastfeed our third child after a very difficult experience and failed attempt at exclusively nursing my now toddler aged twins. With Latisha’s support, guidance and expertise, I was able to achieve that goal and create an incredibly strong bond with my third child that I will be forever grateful for! She was there every step of the way the first 8 weeks postpartum, helping us navigate challenges and maximize sleep/rest in between feedings. Highly, highly recommend Tisha to any family seeking lactation and/or doula support! She is absolutely wonderful and incredibly gifted!
