"I cannot say enough about how knowledgeable, wise, kind and supportive Janice Palmer is. When my local friends have babies, I give them the best gift I can think of: Janice's phone number. Call her, I tell them. She is magic! In private appointments and at her weekly nursing mothers support group, she taught me how to feed my boys without pain, she pushed me, she comforted me, and she helped me find the confidence that I could succeed, both at breastfeeding and as a new mother. I am forever grateful to her!"

"I tried two other local LCs before finding Janice, and she is by far the best. I found Janice when my baby was almost two weeks old, not gaining weight well and I was desperate. Janice was truly life saving -- for me and the baby! She patiently helped me understand how to more effectively and efficiently nurse in just one session. Janice gave me the confidence and continuous support though weekly group meetings to feed my first baby into toddlerhood, even with low supply -- and now with her loving guidance I'm also nursing my newborn!  I highly recommend Janice. She has helped me have a beautiful nursing relationship with both my babies. I can't thank her enough for this incredible gift!"

"I delivered my daughter in the middle of July on a Friday night. It was one of the busiest nights the labor and delivery wing saw all summer. She was born at a healthy 6 lbs, 15 oz. The doctors and nurses were kind and supportive. However, breastfeeding for us, as it is for many women and infants, was a challenge from the beginning. Our daughter had a shallow latch and nursing her was incredibly painful. I could not get her on without bursting into tears. Due to her incorrect latch, she could not get as much milk as she would have otherwise. Additionally, within a day or two of birth she was diagnosed with jaundice, which made feeding her even more of a challenge. The nurses and doctors were very kind and did everything they could to be helpful, but I got different, often completely contradictory advice from everyone. A week after we left the hospital, I was still in excruciating pain to the point that I was bleeding and our daughter was only in the eleventh percentile for weight. My family did everything they could to help us but I was completely lost. I felt that everyone was telling me how important it was to breastfeed but that there was no one there to help.

As soon as my husband, my daughter and I walked into Janice's office for a consult, we felt at ease. She was professional and kind from the beginning. I will always remember that she looked at me calmly and said that she needed our daughter to be healthy and my husband and I to be sane. She did not care how we got there. That lifted such a weight off of my shoulders. She made me feel that this was something we could get through and that no matter what I would not have failed my child. She had me sit in the chair and put my daughter on to feed. It was the FIRST time that I was able to feed her without pain. She weighed her to assure me that I was making enough milk. We had two meetings with Janice and my problems with latching were solved. I continued to attend a support group that she hosted for the four months that I was home with our daughter. Breastfeeding a child is a journey filled with these challenges. Every week when I went to her support group I had new questions. I learned about how breastfeeding changes as your child develops. Janice empowered me to be a full-time working mother and continue to exclusively breastfeed my child. We were able to nurse for twenty one months and Janice was there for us through the whole process, from latching to weaning. Without her we would never have had this kind of success."

"I'm not sure there are enough words of gratitude to express my appreciation for all that Janice did to help create a nursing relationship with my son. The poor guidance I received from the hospital, coupled with a small infant with low sucking power made the first few weeks one of the greatest challenges in my life. The support and education that Janice provided in her weekly Nursing Mothers session coupled with a private consultation made all the difference in the world to our breastfeeding experience.  We successfully nursed for 15 months.  In addition to our nursing experience we found and made so many lifelong friends.  I am one of Janice's biggest cheerleaders, without any hestitation, I would strongly encourage you to join her weekly meeting and seek her services for the personal support you might need."

"As a mother of four young children, I have spent much of my time over the last 6 years breastfeeding. It if weren’t for meeting Janice for a personal consult when my oldest was a few weeks old, I don’t know if I would have been able to successfully breastfeed all these years. She gave me the tools, confidence, and knowledge I needed to not only nurse my own children, but be a support for my friends and family who breastfed their babies. When I found out I was expecting twins, most people told me that I was crazy to try to breastfeed them – that it would be too hard, too time consuming, that I wouldn’t make enough milk. My twins were near term (36 weeks) and I left the hospital in tears because I couldn’t get them to latch. The next day I saw Janice and she had me tandem feeding them right then and there in her office. I went on to breastfeed them until they were almost 2 years old. She is truly the best!"

"Don't even think or worry a moment longer - just go to Janice! Her help is worth triple her weight in gold!

Janice is the most important person you'll ever meet when it comes to breastfeeding. Her knowledge base is endless and her "tough love" nursing and teaching background go hand-in-hand to make the most spectacular IBCLC there is out there.

I was given horrendous advice about nursing in the hospital. Janice got my "failure to thrive" son to the 98% percentile in only a month! He remains there, now 5 years old. I don't think I would have kept nursing a day longer if our paths did not cross with Janice.

Even with our second child, Janice was there to gently remind me of all that I had forgotten. Her loving kindness is never ending.

Janice remains an excellent mentor, connecting new and experienced moms in the community. Honestly, I can't say enough wonderful things about her."
