“I’m so happy a friend of mine referred me to Annmarie a few days after I had my first baby. Annmarie has given me so much great advice, reassurance and confidence as a new mother. I feel truly blessed to have someone like her to reach out to for support. It’s very apparent that Annmarie loves what she does and the families she works with. We really enjoyed her excited energy to share information. Her friendly demeanor brings a sense of calmness during what can be an otherwise stressful time of uncertainty.”

“Annmarie has been a huge part of our care team and we wouldn’t be where we are without her! She came for a visit before I gave birth. She was friendly and shared loads of great information to help prepare us for the feeding journey. Annmarie helped us navigate our challenges with feeding. I always felt supported and NEVER judged which is so critical in those especially vulnerable days right after birth. She goes above and beyond. You can tell this is her passion and she genuinely cares about her clients!”

“An absolute angel and so helpful when I needed someone the most in my motherhood journey! Annmarie is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective – she helped me and my baby begin breastfeeding on her first visit and is such a pleasure to work with. Super responsive and helpful in all breastfeeding departments and stages. I really cant say enough about her greatness, work with her if you can!”

“Annmarie has been such a wonderful part of my postpartum care… She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. She is also inclusive and celebratory of every family’s choices, always including any partners and prioritizing your lifestyle goals. She thinks about care holistically, following up on pediatrician and OB appointments. A true professional and expert at her craft, she shows up with a ton of equipment at your home and is ready to tackle any questions or concerns. Also extremely responsive over text and email, and is easy to book. Thanks Annmarie!”

“I wish I could give Milk Maidens 10 out of 5 stars! Annmarie is professional, kind, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. She rescued me from the depths of breastfeeding exasperation and struggle! I was very emotional and discouraged when I met Annmarie and her consultations have provided me with the tools and plans I’ve needed to succeed and gain confidence. I will always be so grateful for her!!!”

“Annmarie is an angel sent by God himself.
Although I took a few breastfeeding courses during my pregnancy and met with a Lactation Specialist at the hospital after giving birth, I still experienced two weeks of excruciating pain whenever my son latched.

Here comes Annmarie to the rescue! Since she was on travel, I met with her virtually for our first consultation. I kid you not, within 24 hours of meeting with her (even though it was virtual), the pain disappeared.

Our follow-up meeting was in-person and she taught me how to bottle-feed and use my breast pump. The following day, my son was admitted to the hospital for high jaundice levels and Annmarie kept an open line of communication with me since I had to exclusively pump while he was being treated.” Read More…

“Annmarie made my breastfeeding journey such a positive experience. I had 2 previous sessions at the local hospital, but no information or guidance provided there compared to what I gained from a single session with Annmarie. We reviewed from latching to breast pump fit to bottle feeding and it was all novel information that made critical changes in feeding my little one.

Not only was the information valuable, but Annmarie is such a lovely person. She has a true warmth and is so passionate about her meaningful work. I had a couple follow-up questions that were answered promptly and fully. I would recommend Annmarie to anyone looking for a lactation consultant; she truly is the best.”

Lauren G. | August 2023

“Breastfeeding was initially overwhelming, painful and stressful for me. However, with Annmarie’s help, my baby is now growing like a champ, I’m comfortable while breastfeeding, and I feel prepared for the transitions to come including pumping, storing, maintaining my supply, etc.

Annmarie is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me become so much more confident. She is kind, supportive, accommodating and prepared to answer all of my questions. She always has creative solutions and a great sense of humor (which we all need postpartum!). They say it takes a village to raise a child, and she has been an essential part of mine. If you’re looking for support, I highly recommend you contact Annmarie. She is a lifesaver!”

Margo L. | July 2023

“On the beginning of my breastfeeding journey I ran into some issues related to my oversupply. Having too much milk made difficult for my baby to nurse properly. Annmarie gave me the necessary and extraordinary help needed at that time, and with her expertise I was able to establish my milk supply and improve my breastfeeding journey. I would most definitely recommend her services.”

Taci H. | March 2023

“Annmarie with Milk Maidens is absolutely wonderful! She is so knowledgeable and responsive with her communication that you will be thankful you selected her as part of your care team. As a first time mom, I was completely lost with all the information out there. Annmarie came to my rescue and provided me with the knowledge I needed. It is because of her astute care that my baby only lost two ounces of her baby weight within the first week. Our pediatrician was thrilled and so was I! She prepared me so throughly from discussing hand expression, fitting proper pump falanges to checking on us after our baby was born. In addition, she has answered my many questions from bottle feeding to pacifiers and everything in between. I highly recommend Milk Maidens and Annmarie to prepare you for the most exciting time of your life!”

Melanie B. | November 2022

“Annmarie was a lifesaver! My baby was having trouble latching in the hospital (we saw 4 different lactation consultants that could not get him to latch). We reached out to Annmarie and she was available to come over and do a consultation with us the day we got home from the hospital. She is extremely responsive and provided a ton of encouragement and got my baby to latch in the first session. Annmarie is personable and goes above and beyond. She is clearly passionate about what she does and truly wants the best outcome for your breastfeeding journey. She provides great notes after each session via an online portal and even faxed the notes to my baby’s pediatrician without me even asking. I highly recommend her for anyone that is struggling with nursing and can’t say enough good things about her.”

“Super kind, professional, helpful, and an angel from above for anyone on their breastfeeding journey! Grateful!!!”

L. C. | August 2022

“Annmarie is AMAZING. I’ve seen over 7 lactation consultants between my 2 kids and Annmarie is one of the best there is. She is so incredibly knowledgeable, kind, positive, and helpful. She really helped me when I had a sudden drop in milk and I cannot say enough good things about her!!”

Ani F. | June 2022

“So thankful to have been referred to Annmarie. She was nonjudgmental and so very helpful with my breastfeeding issues. She listened to my issues, concerns, and history and offered solutions and options to combat them. Breastfeeding is tough, but Annmarie was knowledgeable, patient, and stayed on top of me to make sure everything was going smoothly. Highly, highly recommend Milk Maidens!!”

Kimberly L. | June 2022

“I contacted Milk Maidens when I decided to relactate. I didn’t even know I would be able to relactate after weaning until stumbling upon the concept online. My milk had been gone for about 8 weeks and with Annmarie’s guidance I was able to go from absolutely no milk production to getting around 6 oz a session in a months time. I was so grateful I was able to email her questions whenever I had them and she always gave a thorough well thought out response. I highly recommend her as a lactation consultant!”

Cortney E. | May 2022

“I had trouble with my newborn latching correctly, after 3 weeks of struggling with long feeding sessions, Annmarie helped me make some adjustments – some were just small tweaks that really helped and reduced my feedings to 30 mins!  I highly recommend Annmarie, she truly loves her job, is incredibly responsive and my consultation was 100% covered by insurance.  The process of booking and the virtual consult was seamless!”

Georgina G. | May 2022

“Annmarie was not only super patient and comforting, but she was calm and followed my lead. She wasn’t pushy like some LCs and she even continued to check in with me after my daughter finally latched. She genuinely cares about you and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is ok. My postpartum experience wouldn’t have been the same without her.

I reached out to her after the birth of my second baby and she was right there to help us from the beginning. Her calm and professional assistance helped me have a successful nursing journey with 2 babies and I will be forever thankful.”

Katie L. | April 2022

“Breastfeeding got off to a rocky start for my newborn daughter and I, and she lost more weight than our doctors wanted. My husband and I were devastated, and I was unsure if I would be able to continue nursing. Thanks to the sessions we had with Annmarie, we managed to stick with it and get our baby’s weight back on track. Annmarie truly loves her job and it shows. She brings a wonderful mix of professionalism, compassion, knowledge, and experience. She gave clear and effective advice about ALL things breastfeeding and led us to a successful outcome. We are extremely grateful for her services and cannot recommend her enough. If I had it to do all over again, I would have started working with her much sooner!!”

“Annmarie saved the day! If I could give her 10 stars I would! Baby girl was gaining weight and all seemed well, except my boobs and nipples! I was experiencing the worst latch pain and engorgement! It was a lot to manage in those first few days at home, and I really needed help. I met Annmarie, as what feels like by fate! She came to my house, guided me in how to hold the breast and present to baby, latch positions and techniques, latch assessment, expressing, pump management and flange fit, bra fit, suction and just overall support! She then followed up with an email of what we talked about with resources and suggestions! She answered all my questions. It was AMAZING and because of her we are going on 5 months strong of breastfeeding!

Santa Rosa is so lucky to have such a great resource. I could not recommend her enough! She is a wealth of knowledge, and not to mention so tender and kind. I ten thousand percent recommend her as part of your postpartum team!”
