What families are saying

Ella was an absolute lifesaver with our newborn! After 3 weeks of sleepless nights and our newborn unable to sleep in his bassinet, we called in Ella for an overnight visit to see if she could help. Not only did she have him sleeping soundly in his bassinet for ALL of his 4 stretches of night sleep inbetween feedings, but she also helped identify the root cause of his sleep struggles and referred us to a wonderful IBCLC who gave us fantastic advice. Without Ella I’m positive we would still be having sleepless nights and an unsettled bub, but now he even sleeps his day naps in his bassinet and is a much calmer and happier! -Laura Buss
Ella has an innate ability to connect with babies. She is deeply compassionate, grounded in sound knowledge and judgement and above all is nurturing. I had the privilege of Ella taking care of my son when he was a couple months old. He was a colicky baby, and the instant Ella embraced him I was completely at ease. She is highly intuitive and respectful of boundaries while serving as a gentle "baby whisperer." -Jill Gordon
Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
