  • Elysia is the absolute best. Being a new mom taking on breastfeeding was a whole new world. The care, kindness, and tailored approach she takes are some of the many reasons she is a must in a mama's postpartum journey. Her being a mom of 3 is also super helpful to get advice from a mama who has lived and breathed the newborn phase multiple times. From the pre delivery consultation where she focused on understanding my goals, checking in on me as soon as I delivered, to 2 at home visits in which she was so attentive, thorough, patient and never made me feel rushed, to the countless texts in between...Elysia isn't merely a lactation consultant she is my verified go to resource for breastfeeding and so much more! I can't recommend her enough!! Thank you Elysia!

  • Elysia was everything I needed when I was working through a painful latch with my second baby! I texted her at 645 PM and half an hour later she responded with information and we scheduled a phone call for later that evening and her in home visit for the very next day! Elysia was so compassionate, knowledgeable, encouraging, and non judgemental. I was immediately comfortable and felt calmer about the situation in her presence. Things improved so much after just the first visit and then the follow-up was so helpful to solidify the progress and my confidence. My baby is now 6 months and our breastfeeding journey continues to be painless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Elysia!

  • Elysia has saved my breastfeeding journey! I really struggled to get my baby to breastfeed as soon as we were home from the hospital. I called Elysia and she came to our home the same day for a consultation. She was nonjudgmental, patient, and extremely supportive of the goals I have. She provided in depth education and hands on practice of the information she shared. She helped us navigate triple feeding and the waiting period before my milk came in. Once my milk came in we struggled with oversupply and forceful letdown. Elysia was able to come back for another home visit as soon as we needed her. She has shared numerous strategies for handling any question or problem that I bring to her. She has been an incredible help. I highly recommend Elysia to anyone needing breastfeeding support!

  • So thankful for Elysia’s support with my third child. Even as an experienced breastfeeding mom, every baby is different and I struggled with my third one. Her reassuring words, calming demeanor and expertise were so appreciated during her initial visit and through multiple follow up conversations! The postpartum period is such an exciting time and an important period for bonding, but it can be a stressful time. I highly recommend reaching out to Elysia for support!

  • The best lactation consultant Charleston has to offer!I can't thank her enough for all of the help she provided me starting 4 years ago. And she's always kept in touch.Was there at 20 months breastfeeding with the solutions to a dropping supply. Her knowledge based on science and experience is untouchable. Her kindness, I will always remember. From weighted feeds 3 times a week to late night texting when crying, in the trenches, feeling like I couldn't cope with a severe tongue tied child who was losing latch. She helped us and we are forever grateful! Now she's back, and we can't recommend her enough for those searching for a LC in the Low Country.

  • I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support Elysia provided during my breastfeeding journey. Upon coming home from the hospital, my baby had trouble latching on one side due to the nipple shape, leaving me engorged. Elysia provided thoughtful recommendations that led to a successful latch immediately and the ability to appropriately manage my engorgement without pain or impact to my supply. Elysia provided her services whenever needed, went above and beyond by following up consistently to check on our progress, and offered practical solutions and adjustments as our situation changed. As the feeding times and amounts varied throughout my baby's growth, she continued to provide personalized recommendations to match the stage of this journey we were in which was invaluable, and she always took the time to explain the 'why' behind each suggestion, empowering me with knowledge and confidence. What stood out most was not just her wealth of knowledge, but her remarkable ability to provide guidance in such a warm, encouraging way during a vulnerable and confusing time. Thanks to her guidance and unwavering support, what started as a challenging experience transformed into a beautiful bonding journey with my son. I would wholeheartedly recommend Elysia to any new mother seeking knowledgeable, compassionate lactation support. She truly changed our breastfeeding story for the better!

  • I’m so thrilled to hear that Elysia will be providing lactation services for the community! She was so helpful with proper latching and a helping me through a painful experience. I think she was the biggest reason I was able to continue to breastfeed my son for 21 months. The fact that she provided services in my own home was priceless, especially when I had a four year old running around! I never felt judged and was totally comfortable. Her encouragement, compassion, and knowledge was so comforting at such a vulnerable time in my life. Thank you so much Elysia for giving me the courage to continue my breastfeeding journey!

  • I'm forever grateful for Elysia’s guidance and support during my breastfeeding journey with both my children. When I had my daughter, now 7 years old, I struggled to establish a good latch and was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Elysia provided personalized advice, reassurance, and hands-on assistance that helped me overcome these issues. She was also helpful in outlining a pumping schedule so I could save milk without over producing. Fast forward to my second child, now 3 years old, and I faced new and totally different challenges. Elysia was just as supportive and knowledgeable, helping me find new solutions. Her compassion, expertise, and encouragement made all the difference in my ability to continue breastfeeding and pumping! I highly recommend Elysia to any new mother seeking lactation support!
