"Hiring Oksana was the best decision we made postpartum. She is professional and extremely knowledgeable, and it was wonderful to have her come right to our home. I had a particularly difficult L&D, but I fortunately was able to start breastfeeding off on the right foot with her advice. I especially appreciated her suggestions on BF positions for someone in recovery, which I found were comfortable for both me and baby while I healed in the first few weeks. Highly recommend."

"Oksana has helped me a lot! I feel blessed that I’ve met her. She is not only very knowledgeable about breastfeeding, but she is very good in explaining the way everything works in a very simple manner. Furthermore, she is a very nice person to deal with. I had huge pain and blocked ducts in my breast, and she helped me to get rid of that. Also, she was the only one who found that my baby had a tongue-tie issue that caused so much trouble for me. I would definitely recommend Oksana to anyone who is looking for a lactation consultant."

Mila

"Oksana is an amazing lactation consultant. She was very helpful and patient with both me and my son. She also took her time to fully understand our problem and wasn't in a rush to leave even after our appointment was done. She stayed extra time that was free of charge to make sure that I felt confident breastfeeding my son. I would definitely recommend her to mommies that are struggling with breastfeeding."

Yana

"Thank you so much for your help! I am very happy to regain my self-confidence and my daughter is happy as well. She now eats very well and breastfeeding has become a real pleasure, and only because of your help. I now recommend you to all my friends who have similar difficulties."
