Professional Testimonials
"Rachel Watson is an extremely intelligent, intuitive, and caring IBCLC and I wish we could clone her!
Most importantly, she understands breastfeeding as a relationship between mom and baby, and is able to provide support to mom as a whole person. This is a very unique trait and not something you find very frequently.
Being in a good mental health place is critical to resolving breastfeeding challenges, and Rachel is someone who truly understands and supports this."

"I worked with Rachel Watson at a very busy hospital and lactation clinic. She was an outstanding colleague in so many ways. Her clinical knowledge is cutting edge and she is always seeking out and adapting to the latest research to improve her practice.
Equally as important, she consistently shows genuine compassion for new parents by listening to and understanding their individual needs, which puts her in a league of her own. It's not often that clinical providers have the delicate balance of exceptional skill and true warmheartedness, but Rachel has both of these qualities in abundance."
