Christelle is always lovely and helpful, providing kind encouragement as she draws from extensive experience with her own children and the children of many other families. I have asked her for advice or information on many aspects of mothering in the Catholic Nursing Mothers' Group. Outside of that group, I have sought her perspective on the prospect of pain in natural birth, hypnobirthing, breastfeeding my newborn who was exhibiting frustration by screaming when I tried to feed him, and healing an infection related to nursing. Even though she must be so busy with her own large family, she takes time to respond promptly to my questions. I am so glad to know Christelle and look forward to consulting her about more topics in the future!

Christelle has been my mentor in the breastfeeding support world. With her guidance, I have learned so much for myself and for helping other moms meet their breastfeeding goals. Christelle is so gentle and knowledgeable and is a great asset to anyone looking for birth classes, birth support and lactation support.

Christelle has been there to help me fill in the blanks, answer all my questions with the wisdom of both intelligence and experience, and has always done so with the most calming and caring attitude. Someone I can easily trust. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.
