“Years before my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, and the transition into motherhood heightened those feelings in ways I couldn’t have imagined. As a first-time mom, I felt overwhelmed by labor, postpartum recovery, and caring for my newborn. I carried so much tension and fear, but Gretchen’s calming presence and gifted instinct immediately put me at ease. She created a safe space for me to process my emotions while giving me tools and support to navigate where I was.

Her guidance and perspective continue to bring me incredible balance and peace of mind. Spanning both prenatal and postpartum care, her support has been invaluable and deeply encouraging. She even taught me how to start collecting colostrum before my baby girl arrived, which gave me confidence in my body and abilities.

In a world where breastfeeding knowledge isn’t always shared widely—especially in communities like mine—her support was such a lifeline. She celebrated me, filled in gaps left by my hospital care, and made me feel truly seen and empowered.

I could go on and on! The Clutch is exactly what the world needs now more than ever. Gretchen’s heart, care, and dedication shine so brightly, and I will forever be grateful for the love and support she poured into me and my family. If you’re considering letting her and her team walk alongside you on your journey, don’t hesitate. You’ll be so glad you did.” - Sharon
