“I cannot recommend Carissa Kramp enough as a lactation consultant! From the moment I reached out to her, she was readily available, offering support and guidance every step of the way. Her communication was clear and concise, ensuring I felt confident in every decision I made. What truly sets Carissa apart, though, is her compassionate heart. You can feel her passion for what she does with every visit. She genuinely cares for her clients, and her warmth and support made such a difference in my breastfeeding journey. I also love that Carissa is a nurse, which brings an incredible depth of knowledge to her work. Her wide range of expertise gave me confidence that I was receiving the best care, not just in lactation, but in overall health as well for both me and my son. I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise and the kindness she shared along the way. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, Carissa is the one!”

“I met with countless lactation consultants. Every meeting felt rushed and their solutions included 5 step plans that were not conducive to my emotional and physical healing after birth. Then Carissa came in and her commitment to my journey and healing was unlike any of the other consultants I worked with. My baby latched the first time with her, a moment that I’ll never forget. She checked in on me daily and became my biggest advocate. Her “can do” attitude and hands on approach is exactly what I needed. She also gave me incredible support as I transitioned back to work and began pumping more frequently. In a world where more mothers in postpartum care feel neglected, you’ll find Carissa’s approach to be a breath of fresh air. ”

“I had known during pregnancy that I wanted to breastfeed. But when my baby was born very premature, I felt lost in trying to navigate pumping and eventually getting my baby to latch. Carissa was so knowledgeable and helpful during my Nicu experience and beyond. Trying to get a preemie to latch is difficult and Carissa was so calm and professional the entire time. I was able to transition to exclusively breastfeeding my baby and I'm so thankful!”

“As a first time mom, I had no idea what I was doing. Truth is, I still don’t, but we’re learning along the way! Carissa has been a vital part to our breast-feeding success, teaching and guiding us. One story comes to mind to share: When we got home from the Nicu, we knew our breastfeeding journey was just getting started. Like many other people, we were struggling with sleepless nights, and what we thought was cluster feeding. I reached out to Carissa, desperate for advice and a lifeline for my sanity. With a brief description of what our night feeding issue was, and a few pictures of my baby’s latch, Carissa was able to talk me through some positioning to improve milk transfer. With her recommendations, Our baby started to gain weight and started sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months. Absolutely life-changing. Carissa was available for consult via text, phone call, FaceTime chat, and offered an in person visit if necessary. I continue to reach out to Carissa with questions and really do credit her for our happy, healthy breast-feeding journey, which continues to this day.”

I cannot recommend Carissa highly enough! As a second-time mom but first-time breastfeeder, I was feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, but she supported me every step of the way – both before and after my baby arrived. Her prenatal care was invaluable. She took the time to prepare me for what to expect, answered all my questions without judgment, and helped me feel ready and confident going into this new experience. Having that foundation before birth made such a difference. Once the baby arrived, she was there for us with the same incredible dedication. She made me feel comfortable and supported during those challenging early days. Her knowledge and expertise are exceptional, but what truly sets her apart is how she shares that knowledge – patiently, clearly, and in a way that empowered me rather than made me feel dependent on her guidance. She didn't just help with immediate latch issues and positioning; she educated me on the "why" behind everything, which gave me the tools and confidence to problem-solve on my own. She checked in on my emotional well-being just as much as the physical aspects of breastfeeding, which meant so much to me during such a vulnerable time. Even as an experienced parent, I found myself doubting my abilities with this new challenge. She built me up, celebrated every small victory with me, and reminded me that I was doing an amazing job. Her encouragement was genuine and made all the difference in my journey. If you're looking for a lactation consultant who will truly go above and beyond with comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care – who will support, educate, and believe in you through it all – look no further. She is an absolute gift to new and experienced parents alike!
