    Shari has been so wonderful, especially postpartum in her support for finding milk for our baby as well as my own mental health journey through all of this. She and Michelle are exactly what we needed to get us through the whole process and beyond!

    I was not going to write this review and just chalk my experience up to a personality mismatch but after her last response to me, I felt I had to.
