    “Working with Porshai completely transformed my breastfeeding experience. I first reached out to her when dealing with severe latch pain. From our first visit, Porshai was reassuring and thorough. During each session, Porshai provided a wealth of knowledge and later wrote up clear notes on what we went over as well as specific next steps. Through her patience and expertise, we were able to improve my son’s latch and identify a problem area-his tight upper lip. She offered exercises and feeding techniques to ensure a deeper latch. Whenever I reached out to her with questions, she responded quickly and provided helpful information. Porshai empowered me with the knowledge I needed to have the best breastfeeding experience possible. With her comprehensive guidance, I am now able to breastfeed confidently knowing my baby is getting milk efficiently. If you’re looking for high quality, tailored support, look no further than Porshai!”
