Clients’ Stories
I’ve been lucky enough to work with some amazing families and am very grateful for their willingness to share their experiences. Scroll below and see what some of my previous clients had to say:
Where do I start?!
I cannot recommend Jenny highly enough!
Our breastfeeding journey got quite complex with various professionals giving lots of conflicting advice. Despite multiple strategies nothing seemed to be working and I turned to Jenny thinking I would have to give up on the dream of being able to breastfeed my daughter.
Jenny’s knowledge, experience, kindness and compassion is obvious. She was able to assess my daughter and I and put a plan in place to help us navigate a feeding situation which other professionals had failed to figure out.
Jenny goes above and beyond and I have no doubt that her support has helped my daughter and I to share some moments which we would never have achieved without her.
Jenny’s consultation services are an investment in a life experience which is truly priceless and I cannot recommend or thank her highly enough!
I am so pleased we reached out to Jenny after a really tricky, emotional and hard few weeks with our newborn. Not only does she have a wealth of knowledge but she is non judgemental, approachable and always happy to help. Seeing Jenny helped me to give myself permission to try different things rather than battling on because I felt I must continue to breastfeed, despite the pain and unhappiness it was causing. Fast forward 3 months and although there are still difficulties (I think that's just being a parent though) we are back breastfeeding and have ongoing support from Jenny who is contactable and so so helpful. If you are in any doubt, I would say just reach out and see how you can have help. Jenny, thank you for what you have done for our family, continue to do and I know you will do for as long as we need support. You're a star.
Jenny has been a tremendous help in getting me off to a good start in breastfeeding. She helped us overcome tongue tie and latch issues in particular, and am pleased to still be breastfeeding a couple of months later. The WhatsApp support after our sessions has been super useful as are the pdfs and videos Jenny prepares for referring back to. Thank you so much, would heartily recommend to others at the start of their breastfeeding journey. And am sure the consultation fee is easily paid back in comparison to what I'd have spent on formula and all the kit that comes with that!
