“Highly recommended working with Vanessa! As a first time mom, breastfeeding was a challenge I didn’t anticipate. Being on the verge of quitting after only a few weeks, I decided to reach out and thankfully found Vanessa. She was able to accurately assess my son and refer me to the right professionals in order to get his tongue and lip released. This has made all the difference in my breastfeeding experience, making my son nurse more efficiently and helped make breastfeeding become an enjoyable experience. So thankful I found her! She provided me with a wealth of knowledge, expertise, confidence, and support without pressure or judgement. Vanessa is a great resource to have and does a great job with answering questions and following up.”

“I was connected with Vanessa after having my second baby. She had trained under Jane O’Connor of JOC lactation who I worked with in the city for my first. I was so happy to have someone local and knowledgeable. She visited me at home multiple times during my latch, oversupply, and mastitis issues throughout my year journey of nursing. I of course called her with my 3rd baby! Even though we were in the midst of a pandemic, she made every effort to move mountains to help me in person as much as possible. She even accompanied me to his lip/tongue tie release appointment nearly 45 minutes away! I was not allowed in the actual procedure but they allowed her to join for the purposes of observation/education. I cannot tell you how much that comforted me, knowing she was back there with my baby boy snuggling him and loving him like he was her own. She also joined us at his chiropractic follow up adjustments. She has a thirst for learning and is always trying to expand her knowledge despite already being an expert. She truly feels like a member of my family and I owe my 3 successful year+ long nursing journeys to her!”

“Vanessa is incredibly patient, knowledgeable and helps you put what she teaches you into practice. I have learned so much from her and have many options for those times when something just isn't working but you have a very hungry baby to feed!”

“I really do not know what I would have done without Vanessa's expert help. Between my two sons, I've nursed for 24 months so far, and I've had my fair share of challenges! With my first son, I had delayed milk supply and terrible breastfeeding support in the postpartum unit where I delivered, so by the time I came home my baby had lost significant weight and my nipples were cracked and bleeding. Vanessa assessed my situation and quickly came up with a very discrete plan for me and my husband (love that she gave him jobs!) that helped me quickly increase my milk supply, heal my nipples, and ensure my baby was getting enough to eat (without a drop of formula). She saved me from giving up so early on, and gave me lots of great pointers that helped make my experience more enjoyable for the long term. Later when my son refused bottles to due to high lipase in my milk, she gave me tons of tricks to help make sure he still got some milk while I was at work. With my second baby, I've had an entirely new set of challenges and Vanessa has again been amazing. My baby had terrible reflux from swallowing air... Vanessa discovered his tongue tie, got me set up with a great doctor who confirmed he had a tie and lasered it, and then when I was still having challenges, got me set up with speech therapy to help retrain his nursing muscles. I felt hopeless initially, but Vanessa was always sympathetic while also confident that we would figure it out. She never ran out of ideas and next steps, even long after my pediatrician was ready to give us reflux meds (which I am so glad we were able to avoid!) - but at the same time she was respectful of the pace I set and wasn't pushing me to do anything. I could say more- like how she helped with my oversupply, undersupply, and mastitis at various times- but I'll just finish by saying that because of Vanessa's help, I've managed to fully appreciate and enjoy breastfeeding, despite all the bumps in the road! I wish the same for you.”
