Testimonials

  • I really appreciated the TT study day. As an IBCLC there are two important things you should always have: a current and evidence-based knowledge and good communication skills; Indira gave us both. Her teaching was understandable and in-depth. She gave us all the information about anatomy and physiology, differences and classification of TT, and the effects on breastfeeding. We worked on different clinical cases, and throughout play-role games we strengthened our communication skills. Her commitment to respect women' wishes was palpable, and I share her feeling too; during our consultations with mums we always have to give correct information, but never imposing our decision: breastfeeding is a mum's choice. I hope to meet the teaching team again to learn more things from her and about her experiences.

  • Thank you, Indira! I have found your passion and knowledge inspirational. I have found the Course invigorating and for the past 12 months, I have gone away from the study days with my batteries recharged to carry on with my role of Infant Feeding Coordinator. The Course has enabled me to deliver the Baby-Friendly Initiative with much more confidence and knowledge. You have provided us with a wonderful learning experience with a warm, welcoming and friendly environment. Once again thank you!

  • Thank you for such an informative and enjoyable day on Position and Attachment. I learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed meeting yourself and the other students. I really enjoyed your teaching style and your teaching studio. It is so welcoming and you create a very safe, relaxed and nurturing environment ideal and essential for learning. I felt it encouraged a very fruitful and interesting discussion.

  • Thank you for all your time and support throughout the whole Course, I have learnt so much. Despite completing my midwifery and health visitor training, I never felt confident in dealing with more complex feeding issues other than attachment and positioning. I honestly was skeptical about attending a Course created by someone who is not a HCP as I was very used to midwife/doctor education. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I have found this Course the most interesting, interactive and informative Course that I have ever attended in my professional career! I know colleagues who completed online learning and felt that they didn't learn anything, I can only rave about how much I learnt from you and the others in the group!

  • Thank you team very much for a lovely set of Study Days. Your knowledge of lactation is immense and I have learnt so much. What was also great was meeting and interacting with so many people that have a genuine love for breastfeeding dyads and that come from so many different backgrounds. Thank you.

  • I just wanted to let you know that your grace, humility and passion about what you taught us on the Course really resonated with me... As a student midwife we have had little breastfeeding training so far. But I am already working at the post ward supporting breastfeeding mothers. I have found the study days fabulous. The use of clinical cases and life models for anatomy and physiology makes it so captivating. Any midwife that has a chance should attend this Course, I highly recommend it. People come up to me and ask as they say I am very good at helping and supporting breastfeeding women for a first-year midwifery student. I am forever thankful for these lifelong skills you have equipped me with!

  • Firstly, I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing in the lactation field and wider audience. Having completed this training I believe this information needs to reach every professional, and layperson in contact with a new mother for education and support.

    Having spent many hours prepping and reading around lactation and linking it with my specialism for my essay and presentation, I can see the amount of work you have put into the course which was beautifully presented by Claudia and Constanza.

    Claudia is exceptional in her teaching great energy, warmth and patience. I always ask questions, and this was a completely new subject for me, so I feel I challenged the latter quality in the fullest sense. Questions were explained in full in the most professional warm manner throughout the course. Constanza is also a lovely energetic teacher. Yesterday, a very difficult subject, research, was beautifully presented to the point I actually understood it and was very interested in it, albeit I am not academic.

    I will highly recommend your course, and indeed if you wish any musculoskeletal specialist interested in this area to contact me to answer any questions via email, I will be more than happy to have a chat with them.

  • A very enjoyable and informative 12 months Course. They use different learning styles, so it is very interactive and the trainers create a relaxed learning environment which makes it very easy to follow and learn an incredible amount of information. Even though I had previously done the basic 2 days UNICEF training Course including the Train the Trainer one, this Course is of another calibre! I have really enjoyed the Course and learned much more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you, Indira, Anna, Claudia and Costanza, so much!

  • Thank you all for such an inspirational and motivating year. My practice supporting breastfeeding dyads has already improved so dramatically and my knowledge base has grown exponentially. Even better my appetite for breastfeeding information is now insatiable! You have facilitated the most wonderful group of women, which has personally supported my journey in early motherhood. Thank you, thank you!
