Melissa was a great help navigating through planning my 2 year old’s meals as he had many food allergies. She helped me understand what I could use to make healthy and nutritious meals without all the allergens.
Melissa also helped me with my nursing journey. All the informations that she taught me are still being used as I’m still going strong nursing my son. Melissa is a mother who breastfed her kids as well so not only she has a professional extensive knowledge, but also how breastfeeding experiences can affect mothers.
Melissa is very empathetic and patient. She is so welcoming that you feel comfortable working with her. Melissa always responds to emails in timely manners. She is always willing to work with her patients wherever their understanding of nutrition, breastfeeding and dietary needs might be.
