Testimonials
“Ella has been amazing for my wife to help with breastfeeding! We were having difficulties and a lot of pain from the start and Ella was super kind and helped us get back on track with a full blown breastfeeding plan. Safe to say I don’t think we’d be breastfeeding if it wasn’t for Ella! If you have a chance to work with her don’t hesitate!”-Chris
“I am so grateful for Ella’s prenatal and postnatal lactation support. Her expertise and gentle guidance helped me feel confident before my baby arrived and made those early days smooth. The post-natal check ins, guiding with positioning, latch and comfort, made such a positive difference in my breastfeeding journey.” -Kelly
“Ella’s prenatal feeding course gave me a confident foundation and her postpartum support was invaluable. Her help was kind and grounding during an intense time. There is so much conflicting information around lactation but Ella clearly spoke from a well informed and experienced place, and her suggestions worked!” -Eden
