  • "Annika was such a blessing to me and helped me navigate my early postpartum feeding struggles. I felt hopeful and supported during and after our visit. She was able to see me quickly after I reached out which was a huge weight lifted not having to wait weeks to address our latching issues. Highly recommend!"

    Amber W.

  • "Annika was so helpful when my daughter when on a nursing strike! She was kind, through, and knowledgeable. I loved her eagerness to help and her quick communication!"

    Allie H.

  • "First time Mom here and at first breastfeeding actually came so naturally and I was so grateful. Suddenly we hit 3 months and we really struggled. Our baby girl would scream and cry when I’d try to feed her. We both shed many many tears until I finally reached out to Latch and Thrive Co. Annika was so thorough in the questions she asked and was so incredibly encouraging. Her guidance helped immensely and literally in a few days we were doing so much better. Going on 8 months of breast feeding now!"

    Abby M.

  • "Annika is both knowledgeable and personable. She helped me with the somewhat niche problem relating to maternal food allergies and breastfeeding. She seems to to have a lot knowledge in the area of allergies and breastfeeding, and I would highly recommend her in this area"
