I was 2 months in and moments away from quitting breastfeeding. I had a terribly painful case of mastitis that brought me to tears every time my daughter nursed (caused by what I later learned was an improper latch). As a first time mom encountering such a significant struggle, I found myself ready to give up on nursing. It was right then that I was introduced to Danielle, who within a matter of minutes changed my life forever. She adjusted my positioning, which led to a proper latch and took my daughter from being labeled as failure to thrive to gaining weight and happily nursing for 15 months. I attribute the health of my two daughters today to Danielle’s wealth of knowledge, support, and encouragement when I needed it most and had no idea where to turn.

It was my greatest desire to breastfeed my daughter, but from day one it was very challenging. My daughter was not great at nursing and weight gain was a tremendous struggle that continued for months. Danielle worked with us faithfully over those weeks and months. Her expertise, kindness, and understanding were a tremendous blessing to our family. My daughter is now nine months old. We are still nursing, and there is no doubt that we would not have made it this far without Danielle's help.

Dr. Danielle! Thank You So Much For The Course, It Has Been A GAME CHANGER. Milk Bleb Is Completely Gone And Baby Has Been Latching On SO Well With The Gestalt Hold. Thank You Again!

I am so grateful that I found Danielle. She helped me go from relying on pumping to feed my baby to fully back to solely nursing him in just a week. When I was pumping, I was barely able to get enough to feed my son in a 24-hour period, I was having to wake up at 5 am to pump so that I would have enough for the day. By hearing the details of our situation, Danielle was able to help me feel confident that if I transitioned my baby back to nursing, with her help and support, he could do it! One week later and I can’t even believe how well he’s done. I haven’t pumped in a week and my baby is doing great. There is so much misinformation out there about nursing and feeding and “physical variations/abnormalities” of the mouth/tongue that can hinder feeding, I had convinced myself that he couldn’t do it, when really, at four months, he had become a much better feeder and his shorter feeds meant it was doing amazing. We “wasted” a lot of time doing a lot of intervention to try to fix these problems and by adjusting the fit and hold and letting my son lead the way, things have never been better with feeding. Nursing has been probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, navigating these feeding challenges with my baby, but I’m so glad I persevered through it. I now know that my baby and my body know just what to do and I trust myself and my baby more than ever before. I wish I’d found Danielle sooner!
