I am so glad to have you as a consultant!!!! I tell everyone I know that if it had not been for you I probably would not have had the birth I always wanted or the Breastfeeding relationship and passion for nursing!!!! You are the best!
~Jen A., Coeur d'Alene

Melissa is a true gem. She is patient and kind, highly knowledgeable, and willing to help a mother and baby in need at any time of day or night. I give credit to her for the patience she exhibited in walking me thorough the first weeks of breastfeeding; even at 2am when I was frantic, she helped me hold it together. It is because of her that I did not give up; and I successfully nursed my second child for a whole year. I highly recommend her services!
~Rachel T., Pennsylvania

Melissa Morgan was fabulous! She has such a peaceful demeanor and made something stressful not so stressful. And she actually listened! So happy with her help today.
~Julie D., Spokane

I am very grateful to have had Melissa's support.
~Elizabeth C., Coeur d'Alene

Melissa, you are fantastic and my only complaint is that I didn't know you when I was having trouble with my older child. I really think that without your help, I would have switched to formula and given up breastfeeding. Thank you!
~Ashley P., Coeur d'Alene

She really helped me. The instant she walked into my home, I was instantly at ease. Melissa answered all my questions about the issues I was having, and then to be able to see her once a week at mothers haven... I learned a lot about nursing and it was a great experience.
