Testimonials
​
Rachel Watson is absolutely incredible! From our first meeting, she was calm, welcoming, rational (something I wasn't with a 3-day old newborn), knowledgeable, and most importantly realistic/practical. Nine months later I'm still breastfeeding and am so thankful for Rachel as I know her guidance has helped get me to this point!

Rachel Watson is the best of the best! Being a first-time mom, I had a steep learning curve on taking care of my baby and anything breastfeeding related. Rachel was very patient and kind during all interactions - from her community support group to our in-office visit.
Rachel's approach on going with the path of least resistance + letting the baby take the lead in breastfeeding has comforted me greatly. She has many years of experience, shares evidence-based advice, and gives constructive advice for us to consider.

I don't often leave reviews but had to share my wonderful experience with Rachel Watson. I was told based on a previous surgery that I wouldn't be able to breast feed - Rachel was honest, open and thoughtful and I left every session with her excited and motivated. She's fun to be around and easy to talk to. She made sure to check on my mental health along with breastfeeding and provided clear homework and goals for the next appointment, which is so helpful as a new mom. I'm now breastfeeding exclusively (despite doctors thinking I couldn't) and have Rachel to thank for that!
