  • We absolutely adore Kristyn! Our little one was just a few days old and she came out to our home when we needed her the most on a Saturday! I was in a crisis trying to feed my baby and so stressed. After Kristyn came and worked with us and helped inform us so much I felt so at ease with our baby. We are 3.5 months exclusively nursing and I attribute a lot of it to her help in those early days!!! I am forever grateful for her. She has a true gift from God. She is so encouraging and cheers you on the whole time. I wish I knew I needed her help before I delivered our baby so I could be more prepared. If you’re on the fence about calling her, don’t wait!!!

  • "Kristyn is absolutely wonderful!! She came to my home a couple months after my baby boy was born. I really needed some reassurance about our breastfeeding journey, and she was so kind! She gave me so many great tips for feeding and made me feel so confident. I am still breastfeeding now that he is 8 months old, and I truly don’t think I could have done it without Kristyn’s help. Definitely book an appointment with her! You will not regret it!!

  • Kristyn is amazing!! She is SO sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful. She makes you feel comfortable and like she’s known you her entire life. She helped me go into motherhood confident with feeding and prepared for those first few crazy weeks. Kristyn is easy is get ahold of and always ready to help. Her personality and faith make Kristyn stand out among others.

  • I am a first time mom who was unsure if I wanted to breastfeed or not. Things went well with latching/feeding in the hospital but I was discharged on a Friday and ended up TERRIBLY engorged by late Saturday night. I researched everything to try to fix the issues on my own but i started to look for lactation help as it only worsened. I was SO incredibly thankful to discover that Kristyn makes home visits, especially on weekends when no one else was available. I sent an application on the website early Sunday, worried that because it was last minute, a weekend, and knowing she had family, that she wouldn’t respond or be able to help. Kristyn responded quickly to the application and said she could be over to help us that afternoon. As a new mom who was in so much pain, I was never more relieved than when she walked into our home. She was professional, kind, calm, and so loving to my son and I. She worked with us for almost 3 hours to help resolve my issues and educated on how to better move forward to prevent them from coming back. Kristyn is a true blessing to the community. She will make difference to every mom and baby she works with, no matter what their feeding journey looks like. My son is a month old and still exclusively breastfeeding - something I know wouldn’t have been possible without Kristyn. We are forever grateful.

  • Kristyn Junkin is golden!!! She has led me through the first few weeks, and beyond, of both of my girls. Her knowledge and commitment to helping me further understand my body and breastfeeding has been a pure blessing. Kristyn has made me feel comfortable and confident since day one!! Weight was lifted off our shoulders with Kristyn's quick availability in my first days of motherhood in the comfort of our own home. Thank you, Kristyn for your care and compassion !!! We love you!!
