"I was not sure how much more I could learn about breastfeeding because I've helped dozens of moms with nursing and their first latches, but Anna blew my mind! She was so knowledgeable and taught me things about breastfeeding, and the breastfeeding relationship that were astonishing! The material was relevant, interesting, and engaging. It was laid out in a way that could easily be passed on to my clients. She also made it clear what I was and was not able do in my role as a doula. It is so nice to have a resource like Prenatal Insights to pass on to my clients in their times of need."
Monica Wilkinson, Doula
“Anna's Certified Breastfeeding Support Doula workshop helped solidify many concepts about breastfeeding. I feel so much more confident to support my clients during their first latch and beyond, and better able to know when to refer them to an IBCLC (Anna, of course!) Anna is a wealth of knowledge for all things breastfeeding! I love that I can confidently refer my doula clients to her. Her blog is also an incredible source of trustworthy information! I really love that Anna has been so intentional about supporting the doula community in her work as an IBCLC. She's a fantastic resource--and a fantastic person!”
Sara Pixton, Doula
"I feel so much more confident when providing support for my clients. The information was so beneficial, even after I've breastfed and pumped for three kids. Breastfeeding support right after birth usually makes me quite anxious, but I feel that I can go in more confidently to help mom initiate breastfeeding and point them in the right direction for education and resources in the event that further support is needed. Anna is a wonderful teacher and presents the material so it's easily understood. I am excited to utilize the information for all of my clients and be able to help them feel more confident as they begin their journeys nursing their new babies."
Carlie Didericksen, Doula
