Shannon and Nicole at Thrive are both amazing. I have seen my share of LCs between my two babies and they are - hands down - the best I've seen. They take their time, are so detail-oriented, are great listeners, didn't make me feel crazy for my mom-anxiety, and genuinely are just the warmest people ever. I live in Seattle and take the 30+ minute drive to Issaquah to see them because they are that worth it!

It was important for me to establish a good relationship breastfeeding with my second baby, I ran into some challenges with my first born. Shannon was so lovely to work with! She is kind, knowledgeable and so approachable. I feel like her guidance has helped me have a better and more enjoyable relationship with breastfeeding. I highly recommend Shannon, and all the services at Thrive. Postpartum is such a challenging time for mothers, and I feel fortunate to have found Thrive to help support me and our growing family.

It has been such a pleasure working with Thrive Wellness, specifically Nicole. She has truly been a game changer to my breastfeeding journey with my son and can say without her guidance and support, we would not be as successful as we are. She is incredibly knowledgable in the space and truly listenings to your goals and concerns. It's been such a pleasure working with her and I continue to look forward to working with her in the future as we navigate new milestones. Can't recommend her and Thrive Wellness enough.

A perfect experience. Was thankfully referred to Thrive from another medical professional. Shannon went above and beyond to work with me and my baby. After only 2 sessions, feeding has become something I look forward to. Not once did I feel rushed during our appointments. Everything from the welcoming environment, open communication, knowledgeable tips and encouragement makes me wish I could give more than 5 stars.
I happily drove an hour both ways if that tells you something! Thank you.

“I went to Thrive Lactation for help with my baby’s latch. He wouldn’t stay on the breast for more than a few minutes and would pull off and cry. I did a weighted feed with Thrive, and they discovered that he had a posterior tongue tie.. I ended up going for a frenectomy and now he is nursing great! Without Thrive Lactation Consultants I likely would have given up on breastfeeding my baby, thank you so much!”

“Great experience working with these two women. Both were very warm, welcoming, unassuming, patient, and happy to help with any lactation questions or concerns. I would highly recommend them. The spot is nice and cozy as well with easy parking and access. I enjoyed the experience here much better than previous lactation visits I had at my delivery hospital.”

“Shannon made me feel extremely comfortable and took in the whole situation of our 3 week old not breastfeeding. She was able to request a tongue tie re assessment with a local specialist, which ended up being the solution for our kiddo, when 4 others had not pinpointed this. She did not stress breast is best but took a holistic approach, which I greatly appreciated as I came in stressed out and under producing milk because of the situation. Thrive Lactation is quick to respond and attentive to follow ups and resources.”

“Thrive has been a huge help to me in the first few weeks of breastfeeding! They were very responsive when I reached out and had multiple in home or clinic options for me to do appts with them. Nicole and Shannon are very knowledgeable and an incredible support system to navigate all the difficult scenarios we encountered breastfeeding. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs some help at any point in their breastfeeding journey!”

Thrive truly builds a community of support and helped me feel less alone. Thank you Thrive! Thank you Shannon!”

Nicole helped me out tremendously after I had been struggling for a couple days! I’m a first time mom with a baby who was struggling to latch. I felt defeated and like I was doing everything wrong, but she helped me gain confidence in feeding and making sure I was doing the right thing for my baby boy.

“Shannon and the Thrive team are amazing! They gave me the gifts of confidence, peace of mind and, bonding with my newborn. As the mother of three boys, I was disappointed, confused, and helpless when my little guy wasn’t gaining weight. I’m so glad I found Thrive because they were able to quickly meet me where I was at, listen to my concerns, and provide open minded suggestions for how to meet my breastfeeding goals. Whether you are a new mother or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend Thrive for proven tips and compassion to fill those early days with the joy of a healthy baby and happy mama!”

Shannon was so amazing to work with right from the start! She was quick to reply to my request as well as get me in for an initial consult. You can tell she is passionate about her career and cares about both mom & baby. I had all my questions answered and any concerns addressed at my appointment. It was so reassuring to work with her & I can’t recommend thrive lactation enough! The new location has a clean and professional boutique atmosphere. Much better than a hospital. Absolutely worth it
