Jillian did wonders for us. We had been struggling to breastfeed from Day 3 and I was devastated when I had to start using bottles. Jillian identified the issue of tongue tie and was great with recommendations for where to get treatment. The post treatment recovery help was fantastic too. Jillian helped come up with solutions to so many different issues that were making breastfeeding painful, emotionally draining and seemingly impossible. Her approach is calm, caring and holistic, taking into account not just what your baby needs but what you need to succeed even if that success is to not exclusively breastfeed. I am now able to bottle and breastfeed in combination with each other, whichever is most convenient for myself, my baby and my family, all thanks to Jillian. I highly recommend. Thanks Jillian, you made so much difference and in the kindest, gentlest way.

Jillian made a transformational impact on my breastfeeding journey; she focused on addressing my concerns and showed me different approaches to potentially make things work. The online booking system is clear, quick and easy. Advice to first time mom: when in doubt, get help; sometimes the baby just need a new environment, one positive experience, and everything works from there onward, like magic.

My husband and I saw Jillian after I was experiencing significant difficulties with breastfeeding, almost to the point I was thinking to give it up (and I really didn’t want to!). We had seen a few people prior but it was only when we saw Jillian that she did a thorough assessment of our son and found that there were wider difficulties and treatment options were recommended. These have helped and we are able to continue to breastfeed!! Jillian is incredibly kind, compassionate and considerate. She went out of her way to check in with us and we are eternally grateful for her support. Highly recommend Jillian without any reservation. Can’t thank her enough!!

Booking with Jillian was very fast and easy. She creates a very friendly and welcoming space, and engages in patient-led care. I felt supported, listened to, and heard by Jillian. Her advice was practical and easy to follow. I felt empowered after my session with her. I would recommend Jillian to anyone looking for breastfeeding support.

There aren’t enough words to express how great Jill is! We saw her when my little one was about 3 weeks old. We were referred to Jill by my midwife after having some challenges with feeding. Jill was our saving grace - she was so kind, patient, knowledgeable and supportive. Exactly what I needed as a first time mom! She was able to offer solutions to help with feeding as well as provide additional advice as a midwife.I would highly suggest every mom see a LC if bfing is part of your feeding journey. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the help of Jill so early on. Thank you!

Highly recommend Jillian to anyone facing any breastfeeding challenges or just seeking additional support or information. She has a wonderfully warm and comforting energy, is very empathetic and highly knowledgeable, offering valuable and helpful information and resources. As a first time mother, her encouragement and reassurance were also greatly appreciated.

Jillian was completely committed to our breastfeeding goals. Her support was integral in getting through the issues and pain we had latching (it took nearly 3 months to achieve a pain-free latch). I’m not sure I would be breastfeeding had we not been referred to her and I’m infinitely grateful.
