I can’t say enough positive things about Joelleen. We came to her panicked about our baby’s breast refusal and she guided us through many strategies to improve our breastfeeding situation. She suggested positions that hadn’t been mentioned to us in hospital, taught us paced bottle feeding and gave us a more comprehensive idea of how to improve my milk supply beyond pumping. This included more rest and nutrition advice that made a difference and increased my supply. I also loved that she prioritised my mental health, not just feeding from the baby’s perspective. This care was greatly comforting in a time of such change and stress when breastfeeding wasn’t going well for us. Above all, she is a warm, kind, knowledgeable professional and we greatly enjoyed each session with her. I could go on and on really!!!

I can’t tell you how valuable it would have been to have this information back when I ended my BF journey with my 2nd baby at only 4 months.
Your guide is an incredible resource, in particular, the detail on a baby’s latch, bf positions and the use of nipple shields which, I personally found there was very little reliable guidance on.

My breastfeeding journey would have ended much sooner if I hadn’t worked with Joelleen. She helped with latch and positioning but also helped me build a realistic and well-rounded plan for breastfeeding into the future. Joelleen was super caring and professional, she turned around a detailed plan really quickly – it’s something I refer back to often. Having the two-house visits and email support was also really helpful for us, it meant we could work on what we learnt in the first consult and follow up with questions in the second. Highly recommend!

Joelleen did an amazing job at supporting us with breastfeeding, she provides clear advice including written summaries of the visit. My favourite thing about Joelleen was that she offers advice in a way that doesn’t overwhelm or make you feel judged. I think a consult with Joelleen is essential for all new mums given the lack of education given in the public health system.

I highly recommend Joelleen for your breastfeeding support. We felt very supported in the first few weeks with our newborn. A very considered and personalised approach. She went out of her way to understand our personal circumstances and created a realistic and sustainable plan for us to work towards breastfeeding our baby. Home visits were excellent as were the follow up emails and phone call. Would recommend to all my friends!!

I am so glad I sought Joelleen’s assistance! I was hoping for help with breastfeeding but got so much more including advice on nutrition, sleep and baby play. Joelleen’s visits left me feeling so positive and supported and I highly recommend seeking her help.

I loved Joelleen’s breastfeeding workshop! This course is comprehensive, thoughtfully delivered and presented by an internationally accredited expert. By the end, mamas will feel empowered to walk into their feeding journey with confidence.

Joelleen has been a fantastic support throughout our breastfeeding journey. As new parents we felt very overwhelmed at times, however Joelleen always had a clear and detailed plan and provided us with expert advice. The home visits were really useful, a great way to get hands on support and to ask lots of questions. Joelleen is gentle, professional and very knowledgeable. Her holistic approach made all the difference in the care she provided to my baby and I.

Joelleen was a life saver for us. I was already 6 weeks into a traumatic breastfeeding journey and previous LCs were not able to help me. Joelleen helped with methods to heal my cracked nipples and they never cracked again since. She showed me different baby attachments and spent lots of time with me practicing them. She had a very calm approach, listened, observed and adjusted her approach. Thanks to Joelleen my baby was feeding better and I significantly reduced number of breast feedings. She also showed us effective feeding / burping ways helping our baby with excessive vomiting. She wrote down a plan after each of our sessions – very helpful to come back and put into action all her advice. Joelleen also helped us with our baby’s routine, play time and his day sleep.

I contacted Joelleen due to issues with my milk supply and feeling very lost after leaving hospital having been told a million different things by everyone at the hospital. As a first time mum with no idea of the challenges that feeding can bring Joelleen was a wonderful support to me in these early days and weeks. Not only helping me build my milk supply but also general parenting support and advice. I would have been a lot more anxious without Joelleen’s knowledge. I can’t recommend her enough.
