Testimonial for Vanessa Hanible
Vanessa was nothing short of incredible. She is by far one of the most helpful people I have ever worked with in the child birth and care space. We decided to work with Vanessa for post partum doula support after the birth of our second child. We had a phone interview with Vanessa and we were instantly calmed by her demeanor and knowledge. She supported us in the first couple of weeks after my son was born with 2-3 hour in home visits. She was very responsible with COVID and always wore a mask at our home since that was our preference. Vanessa is extremely knowledgeable both on how to care for a small baby and on lactation. Having her support was like having a doula and a lactation consultant all rolled into 1 which is very helpful in the first couple of weeks. My son, just like my daughter had tongue and lip ties and Vanessa helped with latch and positioning every time she visited which I'm convinced is the reason why I am still breastfeeding. She also helped to calm down some of my anxieties around having a frenectomy for my son. Vanessa is extremely resourceful and helped me figure out ways to use things i already had in my house to support breastfeeding and baby care instead of suggesting i buy more things. For example, she taught me how to make a heating pad out of a sock to relieve a clogged duct which was a huge relief. She helped me to bathe my son, took care of him while I napped, talked with me about my recovery and provided very helpful nutrition suggestion for my post partum diet. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would certainly work with her again!
