  • “Ella has been amazing for my wife to help with breastfeeding. 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.

    -Kelly

  • “Wow. Such a positive experience working with our lactation consultant Ella. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of useful information during our appointment that will help our son to feed more effectively. Highly recommend.”

    -Hillary

  • Ella helped us immensely in our breastfeeding journey. We went from being moments away from giving up due to pain and poor milk transfer, to now we’re feeding ninty five percent pain free and much much more efficiently.

    -Bella

  • Ella was such a great help for me and my little one. I didn’t know breastfeeding was going to be as emotional as it was and her coaching and help was such a comfort for me when I was feeling like a bit of a failure. I’m super thankful for Ella.

    -Taylor

  • From my very first interaction with Ella, I felt supported, listened to, and completely at ease. Her knowledge is exceptional. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, breastfeeding became a positive, manageable experience instead of a stressful one.
