What Our Clients Say

Joanne supported me in learning how to breastfeed during the first few days and weeks after a long labor. 
She determined through a very thorough initial assessment that our son had a tongue tie, which we were then able to remedy right away. She made me laugh and helped me remember to take care of myself, which created more ease postpartum.
