Review | Maizie

"Mel is absolutely incredible at her job! I couldn’t recommend her enough, so kind, genuine and knowledgeable, Arlo went from a baby who was screaming with gas/wind pain to a baby who sleeps 5 hour blocks over night from the way I was feeding! So any Mummas struggling please contact Mel!"

REVIEW | Sarah

I met with Mel towards the end of my pregnancy, I felt knowledgeable and semi prepared for my first breast feeding encounter, but oh boy was I wrong!
I birthed outside of the Shepparton area, had some lovely midwife’s and a lactation consultant but was shown completely different techniques that were quite old school and forcing onto the breast!
I was super confused and overwhelmed but at the time, thought I was doing a great job…..
In those first 5-6 days I had caused that much nipple trauma I was dreading every feed! And then my nipples started bleeding. I was at my wits end and so close to giving up my breast feeding journey! Then I decided to send Mel an 🆘 message!!!
With these simple little micro movements and Mel’s magical touch I breast fed for the 1st time since having Poppy PAIN FREE!!!!! (Despite having Gravel Rash all over my nipples 😂)
WOW Mel you are just incredible, words can’t describe how grateful I am for you!!!! I just seriously can’t thank you enough, you’ve truely saved my breast feeding journey and been such a support to me in these tough but magical first weeks!!!
I’d have such a different story if it wasn’t for you!!!
The weight that lifted not only off my shoulders but also my husband’s that Sunday morning was just incredible.
I can never thank you enough your an amazing women doing amazing things for other fellow women ❤️❤️❤️❤️

COULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS AMAZING LADY ENOUGH!!!!! (She’s in my phone as the Breast feeding Angel 😇 haha) Xxxx

REVIEW | Ash

Highly recommended. We have had Mel visit twice with our bub for breastfeeding latch issues and both times have helped so much. We are now able to latch & stay on, we have ditched the sheilds also. Great having Mel come to the house and not having to venture out for a day at a lactation clinic. Mel was so lovely to talk to and also so gorgeous taking the time to engage with my other 2 children while she was here also. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Mel 💗
