Quality Support at Your Fingertips

There is something for everyone!

As a mother as well as an experienced nurse and IBCLC Lactation Consultant, I know the importance of education. Prenatal education can help you prepare for delivery, understand important exams, and take advantage of expert pain management techniques. Instruction after delivery can help you understand how to take care of yourself as well as your baby. My courses have lessons about postpartum hygiene and recovery, baby care basics, breastfeeding, and much more!

Testimonials

Hear it from my past students!

I am very thankful

Michelle

This was the quickest and most resourceful response I’ve gotten since having my baby a week ago. In these first days beginning all over and having questions and doubts, I am very thankful for Rachel and Mommy Did you know LLC. She was so helpful, encouraging, and gave me so much useful information! I already feel better about my journey from my consultation and now I’m ready to take on some courses to become more educated about lactation and much more!

She validated my concerns

Katie

After 8 weeks of struggling with overproduction and other health issues, I spoke with Rachel and was thankful for a listening ear! She validated my concerns and provided encouragement in my breastfeeding journey. It was apparent that Rachel has a strong knowledge base - both due to her medical background and personal experience - for helping moms like me!

I highly, highly recommend Rachel

Marlene

“The prenatal classes and consults have taught me so much, and I feel more prepared and ready for not just the arrival of my baby, but also the time following postpartum. I highly, highly recommend Rachel. She is not only knowledgeable (and has the degrees and certifications to back it up), but also kind and patient.“

Rachel is absolutely amazing

Amanda

Rachel is absolutely amazing, I was having a hard time with positioning my newborn and latching issues. Rachel took her time and help understand what a good latch looks like. I’m so grateful I found her. Looking forward to seeing her at my follow up appointment

She helped me so much

Lindsay

Rachel is very responsive and really great to work with. She also really knows about a lot of helpful newborn related things. I wish I had found her earlier. She helped me so much more than the hospital lactation people.

Rachel really cares

Kayla

I learned so much through the prenatal, intro to breastfeeding, and masterclass course! It has so many good basics for first time moms. Plus, so may other good tips. I loved how she covered everything more than once and that there were multiple ways to learn (verbal, visual, post-tests). It is so obvious Rachel really cares about what she does! Highly recommend!
