"Alicia came alongside me and truly supported me through every step of the journey."
"My breastfeeding journey with my son had its fair share of ups and downs…..I started working with Alicia early on, around 4 months postpartum. Alicia came alongside me and truly supported me through every step of the journey. I was able to continue feeding my son through low milk supply, tongue tie issues, and countless other setbacks. Alicia made me feel encouraged and seen through some very hard moments. I am grateful for her; I know I wouldn’t have had the joy of feeding my baby for 14 months if it weren’t for her guidance and expertise. I’ll forever look back on this time in my life fondly, with a full heart."

"Not only was the visit with her very informative and friendly, but she continues to check in on us and our progress."
"SIMPLY PUT, ALICIA IS HEAVEN-SENT. In the midst of our struggles with breastfeeding, she came and visited us to help and tackle the difficulties we were facing and offered so much help in how to move forward. Not only was the visit with her very informative and friendly, but she continues to check in on us and our progress with breastfeeding, and just making sure we're doing okay. Her care has been very special to us and we would recommend her to anyone for consulting any feeding scenarios with your babies."

"Alicia gave me the encouragement I needed to trust that I am exactly what my son needs."
"Alicia is amazing at what she does! After struggling with a nipple shield and being stressed out about going anywhere and having to nurse, I finally called Alicia when my son was around 4 weeks...and she proceeded to help me wean him off the nipple shield....it wasn't easy but within 24 hours...my son was nursing great. Alicia gave me the encouragement I needed to trust that I am exactly what my son needs...being a new and first time mom is tough. You don't need more things added that just make things harder, and Alicia helped so much by helping me take away what I didn't need or want, so I could nurse with ease. THANK YOU Alicia! You are amazing at what you do!"

Nice Things People Say About Alicia's Holistic Sleep Coaching
"All of the suggestions that Alicia provided were in line with a responsive parenting style, which is important to my husband and I."
"My son was close to his first birthday and I was feeling stressed about the times he was nursing in the early mornings, as well as our struggles with transitioning away from nursing to go to sleep for naps and at night. I can say that after working with Alicia, my son now only nurses at the beginning of our bedtime routine, sometimes. She gave me some helpful ideas to phase those feeds out altogether which will be soon. All of the suggestions that Alicia provided were in line with a responsive parenting style, which is important to my husband and I. I would not have reached out to her if I didn’t believe she was aligned with our values. She also reassured me that it was not necessary to implement all of her suggestions, but rather, we could choose what we felt would be most beneficial for all of us. Alicia has a passion for helping families navigate the ups and downs of parenthood. If you are looking for someone who will be invested in your family’s well-being and never make you feel like a burden for asking questions, then I would highly recommend contacting her. She is full of wisdom, humor, and encouragement as she helps you become more confident in trusting your intuition as a parent."

"Alicia offered great support, and it was helpful just knowing we had someone in our corner."
"I was ready to get advice regarding my 3 year old daughter, as we were having issues with our bedtime routine, and I was ready to wean from the night feedings. Alicia offered great support, and it was helpful just knowing we had someone in our corner. And, the issues significantly decreased due to her suggestions. I especially appreciated how Alicia’s coaching was in keeping with our responsive parenting style. In a reasonably short period of time, we were experiencing smoother bedtimes, and improved sleep. If you need help at bedtime, contact her, it’s so worth it! Alicia is the absolute BEST!" - Heidi
"Alicia is a great resource, and she gave me a lot of good information on normal infant sleep behavior."
"I contacted Alicia when my baby, Jamie, was close to 4 months old. He was walking at night all the time and not taking naps during the day, which was causing me to lose my mind. Alicia gave me ideas on things to try, helping me to understand that this was totally age-appropriate behavior and “normal” for him. I feel strongly that her suggestions for improving my baby’s sleep quality totally aligned with my way of parenting responsively. The many weeks of working with Alicia taught me that sleep is biologically learned, not ‘taught’, and everything I learned helped reinforce that I was now approaching this issue from the right direction and that this was all normal. I learned to relax and let what would be would be. I didn’t expect that I would learn to let go of trying to “control” his sleep day and night, and he did eventually start sleeping better once I gave him some “breathing space”. We also learned from him that he was ready to explore solids, which also helped his sleep quality. Alicia is a great resource, and she gave me a lot of good information on normal infant sleep behavior. I now realize that we, as parents, often approach sleep for our kids like they are adults. We often have no idea what infant sleep looks like, so her information and support really helped me!"
