From Families Who Flourished…

“My breastfeeding journey began as one filled with pain, misery, and suffering. My milk supply didn’t come in fully, my baby’s latch was horribly painful, and my nipples were raw and blistered, making each nursing session a test of my ability to endure pain. Lorana was there every step of the way, helping me learn how to improve my baby’s latch, position her better for my comfort and her’s, and improve my supply despite all my health issues related to PCOS and fertility treatments that negatively impacted my supply. She stood by me, uplifting me and supporting me through all my tears and struggles. Without her I would have given up on breastfeeding my baby. Because of her, I can lay with my miracle baby and nurse her comfortably. Because of her I have been able to achieve my goals of being able to feed my baby the way my heart wanted to. ”

“Lorana came to our home last minute to do a weighted feed for our son. She offered great education encouragement and brought all the necessary equipment to support us. I highly recommend her service and we will definitely be in contact with her again having a great supportive lactation consultant is a true gift postpartum”

“A Game-Changer for Breastfeeding Success
I cannot recommend Lorana highly enough! Her breastfeeding group class was exactly what I needed as a new mom.
What sets Lorana apart is her beautiful balance of evidence-based information with natural, intuitive approaches. She began by listening to each mom's goals, then covered everything from fundamentals to advanced techniques: latching success, child-led feeding, bottle guidelines that support breastfeeding success; all with real demonstrations and research-backed data.
Lorana is incredibly generous with sharing her deep knowledge and creates a warm, supportive environment where questions are welcomed. I left feeling truly equipped and confident, not overwhelmed.
If you're looking for a lactation consultant who empowers moms with practical, holistic guidance, Lorana is absolutely the one. This class was worth every penny!”

“I am so thankful for the support and education I received at Flourish & Flow Lactation. As a first time mom I didn't know what to expect from breastfeeding and Lorana was able to provide educational resources, specific product recommendations, and help me create a balanced supplement plan to support breastfeeding. When I was really struggling to latch my newborn she worked with us directly- giving me clear and specific feedback. Breastfeeding was definitely a learning curve for both me and my baby and I was so glad I had a caring lactation consultant that I could reach out to at any time to get feedback on my baby's health. Not only is Lorana knowledgeable and professional but she genuinely cares and was so excited for my journey into motherhood. I am so grateful to have her as part of my care team. ”

“With my first child I struggled with breastfeeding and switch to formula early. With my second I really wanted to give it a different approach. The midwives at Columbia Birthing Center recommended I contact Lorana and I am so happy I did. Unlike the hospital that recommends the same position she was able to help me with multiple ways to handle my newborn. She sent me videos, articles and even checked in with me the next day.
She offers free meetings twice a month in Richland or you can make an appointment. You have nothing to lose and all the confidence to gain by talking to her. You won't regret it.”
