"What
a wonderful group of women. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and
presentation, Melissa. I can't tell you how grateful I am for
your commitment to lactation support and beyond. I am inspired,
re-charged and infused with new knowledge. This workshop has made a
significant impact on the way that I approach the topic of lactation
and breasts feeding with women. Learning how to look at the "whole
story", ask questions, unwind old patterns of thinking and using a more
sympathetic language will help me to be an even better doula. Mahalo." - Chelsea Schmidt, Sacred Birthing Community Doula "I really appreciated learning new techniques for latch (i.e letting baby guide). It's so easy to continue what we were originally taught, since breastfeeding techniques never change, right? Wrong! I'm so glad I was able to hear updates in breastfeeding teaching tools and Melissa had all the latest and greatest info to present. I also appreciated learning how to assess tongue tie, as this wasn't something I was very familiar with. Thanks again!" S.H. - Midwife "Thanks so much, I am appreciating all of the information and marveling at how you were able to give us so much over two days." J.V. - Doula, volunteer breastfeeding counselor "Thanks again for a great course! I got so much out of it, and so much that will be immediately applicable to my work-and that left me wanting to learn more, which I always love." C.C. - Doula Professional Offerings
