Brandi is a wonderful lactation consultant who is a go-to for me for my clients. Lactation consultants are my biggest referrals and Brandi is right up there!

Dr. Meyer is the best dermatologist I've had. He listened when I described my eczema, he asked questions, and made me feel like I wasn't just another patient. I've suffered eczema my whole life and he is the first one who has truly helped.

Dr. Wohl is, by far, my favorite of any doctor I've seen. I had to seek her out this last time, as she switched to a different location. She remembered me when I went to her new location, she remembered very specific details, and ALWAYS makes me feel so comfortable. During procedures that may be uncomfortable, with her, they're done before I know it.

As a postpartum doula, I need to have professionals to refer my clients, and Renee is one of them for lactation services. Renee is amazing at what she does and my clients have been successful in breastfeeding after visiting her.

Dr. Cassidy has been my orthodontist for two rounds of Invisalign and I couldn't say enough about her and her staff. They always have me checked in before I arrive and I never have a wait. They're very prompt, efficient, professional and kind. Dr. Cassidy is great with children and I would highly recommend sending anyone of any age to her for any orthodontic work.

As a postpartum doula, I am always needing to refer clients out and lactation is one of the most popular. Joy is amazing at what she does and comes highly recommended.

As a Postpartum Doula, Lise is my go to for anything lactation related. As a Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), she has proven time and time again that she is the best. She has the best upbeat and outgoing personality while being so gentle and kind for women during this very vulnerable time.

Suzzie is not only a wonderful labor and delivery doula, but she is one of the best in the area for birthing pool delivery. She brings everything you need to birth at home, a birthing center, or the hospital and sets it up. Once your little one has arrived, she comes and takes care of the breakdown. Since she is also both a mother and a birth doula, she has the most loving, calm nature during a time that is so vulnerable and beautiful.

Dana is amazing at listening to what you want and delivering. My job has required me to carry children for 20+ years and she listened when I spoke about the areas of concern and she addressed them.

La Leche League is, quite possibly, the best place to go for breastfeeding support in Seattle. For anyone who may be having issues with breastfeeding/chest feeding, Le Leche League is run by experienced parents who are trained and accredited to help in all aspects of feeding.

Kelly is not only both a birth and postpartum doula, but she is also a sound bath practitioner utilizing crystal singing bowls. She offers one on one sessions in the comfort of her client's home, which can make it an even more enlightening experience. Kelly's sound baths allow for a clearer meditative state and a restoration in vitality, among an abundance of benefits.

As a postpartum doula, it is my job to keep these new mothers feeling great and that includes self-care. This location focuses on soon to be and new mothers and I couldn't recommend them enough for these women who need a little self-care.

The Second 9 Months offers amazing holistic support for new parents, specifically lactation support. As a popular referral for doctors in the Seattle area, parents can know they are receiving some of the best support in the region. Understanding that lactation support requires calmness, patience, and attentiveness to both the infant and mother's needs is something this organization is well known for.

This spa is such a luxurious place. There is a feeling of peace and calmness right when you enter. As a postpartum doula, I will suggest this place for some of my clients who need to practice some self-care during the phase of being a new mother.

Anjanette is the first stylist to get my blonde color EXACTLY as I described and desired. She’s quick, experienced, and a wonderful person all around.

Laura has given me the best cut of any hair stylist I've had cut my hair. She is professional, she is extremely friendly and one of the kindest people you will meet. She works out of the Cristy Carner Salon in Fremont.

Pink Polish is relatively new in the Ballard area. I love that I can stop in after work, have a glass of wine and get pampered. They do a good job of making me feel so relaxed and I love the level of detail they show, making sure my nails are *perfect*

I would not hesitate to send any of my postpartum clients over to Susan, knowing they will come back feeling refreshed and relaxed. Being a new mother is extremely difficult and I refer a lot of my clients to Susan so they can indulge in some self-care with a wonderful person.

Erica is an up and coming Seattle based photographer who makes every single individual who comes into her studio feel welcomed, loved, and accepted as they are. She focuses on helping everyone love themselves as they are and find comfort in their skin through positivity and encouragement.

Nick and his staff are always SO pleasant. They have a wonderful happy hour, great small plates, and a nice wine selection if you decide to take a bottle home. In the heart of Fremont, I can’t recommend this place enough to everyone.

Portage Bay Goods is one of my absolute favorite places to shop for cards/funny gifts/and a whole array of randomness that you never thought you needed but can't live without.

Eclipse Sun Shades are amazing! Don't want to get into a super hot car on a warm day, this shade will help that. Don't want to wait to defrost your icy windshield, this shade will also help that! They have amazing customer service and their materials are top notch!

They are always professional, on time, reasonably priced and their customer service is wonderful.

LegUp matches you with daycare and preschool providers and manages the enrollment process so you don't have to! They are so helpful in helping families navigate the process of finding and securing a spot for daycare or preschools through listening to your needs, finding trusted and licensed centers, and doing all of the work for you!

Nanny Parent Connection is an amazing tool for parents who need to find a quality nanny. They also provide same day care if you find yourself in need of emergency childcare. They have verified nannies who have gone through background checks and have already completed CPR/First Aid so you don't have to do the work on your own.

Sarah and her team made my life so much easier by completing my taxes in a timely manner. She was always available when I had any questions and her team was very communicative. Sarah has been in the industry for a long time and I highly recommend her for any tax needs!

Michael is extremely knowledgeable about wine, will order anything he can for you if it is not in stock, and always answers any questions you have.

Jennifer is the biggest hoot you will ever meet. Her store has the craziest, most random gifts for everyone! You like the Golden Girls, she has a gift for you, you like RBG, you can buy socks with her face on them. For that sarcastic person in your life, she has the greatest gifts with some pretty sarcastic sayings. The candle collection is amazing, and she tries to support as much locally as she can. She's from NYC so, be prepared for some true NY humor when talking to her.
