  • "Danielle, thank you for your heart and thoughtfulness. I’ve had a lot of traumatic experiences with baby #2 that I was really afraid of with baby #3 and you’ve brought me a lot of reassurance and support. The lactation world needs more nurses like you. It is clear that this is your calling.”

  • “With Danielle’s wisdom and gentle guidance, we overcame postpartum separation from my son, jaundice, and healing from a traumatic birth. Empowerment and encouragement were offered and exactly what I needed as we began a delayed journey of breastfeeding. Danielle coached me through pumping, latching, supplementing with a tube at the breast to overcome jaundice without the use of light therapy or readmission. A bond was build by nurturing my son with milk and love. Despite the struggles and complications, I learned how to love making milk. 6 months later, Logan is exclusively breastfed and has grown to be above the 99th percentile in both his weight and BMI. I love making milk.”
