I'm a Fayetteville native with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from NCSU. My husband was my high school sweetheart, and we have 3 sassy and spunky daughters together. My first daughter was born at 34 weeks and spent 11 days in the NICU. Breastfeeding was certainly not easy at first by any means, but we knew it was best so we pressed on.
Breastfeeding isn't always as easy as we'd imagined. Sometimes issues arise that make breastfeeding difficult, painful, or challenging for the parent, the baby, or both! Seeking the support of a well trained IBCLC to find the root problem or even to ease your worries, is the first place to start. Sarah is also the collaborating IBCLC with Duke's Cleft and Craniofacial Team.
For many of us, the transition into parenthood isn't exactly what we'd expected. The books and movies make it look so easy and sound so amazing! Parenthood IS amazing, but it's also very overwhelming. Sometimes the circumstances can cause us to have difficulty making that transition, which is common due to the extreme hormonal shifts from pregnancy to birth.
Once your wellness assessment has been completed and you have a care plan in place, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly appointments will be made to help with coping and maintenance. Sometimes medication may be an option for you, and that's something you'll discuss with the midwife, Cinthya, at your appointments.

Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does. She is so helpful in the process of diagnosing ties and referring and helping through the process of everything involved including tummy time. Referring out to body work and chiropractic care if necessary and sees you and your little through the whole release process and aftercare appointments. I wish this type of care was available everywhere but we definitely got lucky finding it here. Thank you Sarah.
Also if you need someone to talk to I highly
Recommend Cynthia she is very kind and comforting.

Sarah was so wonderful and had such an impact on my breastfeeding journey! I was very close to quitting breastfeeding when my pediatrician recommended I stop and go straight to formula when my baby was 1 month old. But then I saw Sarah and she showed me that he was eating the amount he needed during a weighted feeding. She’s a great listener and very thorough in her assessments. I can’t recommend her enough and now I’ve been breastfeeding for 6 months!

Sarah was so helpful in assisting us in our Breast Feeding journey. After a disastrous try at nursing with my first, I was committed to getting better support with my second baby. Sarah set us up for success, first by recognizing that we needed to consult with a pediatric dentist to address a tongue and lip tie. Secondly, she empowered me with the tools I needed and most importantly the reassurance that I needed to get through the hard parts. Who knew Nursing shouldn’t be painful? I feel so much more confident now. She was amazing and I’m so glad to have such an invaluable resource in our community

I wanted to give some time into seeing improvement before I wrote a review so here it goes. Sarah is a very kind and smart woman. My son came in with latch issues due to tongue tie. He was refusing to latch and getting frustrated. With the care plan she provided we are slowly but surely getting back to a comfortable breastfeeding journey. She has great advice and through my trying it works. There is so much that she has helped me with in one session the we have seen immediately results. I'm sure if you have a breastfeeding question, she has a few answers to help you out.

With my second child I thought I was prepared enough to do everything right, but he wasn't latching properly and weight gain was not happening. I followed a recommendation and booked an appointment with Sarah at LATCH. it has made all the difference. I found out that my son had a tongue and lip tie, and was able to get it revised. Not once in the hospital did the LC's try to do an oral evaluation. They just focused on his latch and suggested I try different feeding positions. I drive an hour and a half one way for each appointment, and it is worth every minute of every commute. She is a dedicated

Sarah is a kind and professional International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. We had the pleasure of working with her to overcome our breastfeeding challenges in the early weeks. She is extremely knowledgeable and truly goes above and beyond to help families with their lactation support needs. It is so helpful to have someone come to you in the comfort of your home. I highly recommend others to work with Sarah so that they too can meet their breastfeeding goals!

Sarah is absolutely the best!!! As first time parents we needed all the knowledge & support that we could get when it came to breastfeeding. She came to our home, identified a lip & tongue tie, showed us how to properly nurse & bottle feed, taught us tummy time techniques, etc. She encouraged me to not give up & to contact her at any time should I have any questions. I'm happy to say that we're going 4.5 months STRONG thanks to Sarah & the team at Village Family Dental 😊

Sarah is absolutely wonderful & extremely knowledgable. She will make you feel totally comfortable while also educating you. I am so thankful we had her come out to our home after our son was born. We are now 6 months into breastfeeding and I truly couldn’t have done it without having his ties (that his pediatrician said he didn’t have) assessed & treated. We went from extremely painful nursing to easy & comfortable nursing.

Sarah is so amazing. All the help and support she gave me and my little one during the beginning of our breastfeeding journey was awesome. Sarah helped with the detection of my daughters tongue and lip tie and got us through the correction process with ease. I can honestly say that without all the help and support Sarah gave me, I would not still be breastfeeding 6 months+. I would recommend her to anyone who is having any issues and needs the personal support she provides! Love you Sarah!!
