I felt very supported when working with Nina. Nina is so knowledgeable and has a way of explaining concepts easily and clearly. Understanding how my body and brain work together really encouraged me to make changes in my life including eating better, having less cravings, moving more, having more regular bowel movements.

It was wonderful to work with Nina! I felt supported throughout, from prenatal sessions, to weeks of early labor, to coaching through contractions, to food delivery after baby was born. I felt like I always had a knowledgeable and level-headed friend to turn to, even when things got tough. Our prenatal conversations made me feel prepared for the big day, and we even worked to prepare my older daughter for baby's arrival. I had 2 weeks of early labor, which was very confusing, but you took me seriously through this limbo time. Your coaching throughout (real) labor helped me cope with the pain of contractions. I'll never forget that when I started shaking in transition, you suggested warm blankets, which made the shaking stop! Even the nurse didn't know this technique. I got to 10cm, and started pushing. Unfortunately, the baby got stuck, and I had to go for the c-section. The birth did not go as planned, and the baby ended up in NICU for two weeks. That's when things got really hard. While baby was in the NICU, I started pumping to bring in my milk supply, and it was a rough few weeks. From edema to engorgement to oversupply to anxiety, you fielded every question, text, and phone call extensively, and dropped off necessary supplies on very short notice. (That bag of ice packs was so very helpful!!) You supported me in getting the milk flowing, but also in keeping a level head through it all. And, it was a lot to get through! Now baby is a happy, healthy 3mo-old, and breastfeeding exclusively! I don't know how I would have made it through those first few weeks without your help, Nina!

Thanks so much, Nina! Things have been so much better since our consult. My supply is slowing down and baby's latch is way less painful (and she's not feeding so frequently anymore!) so I'm feeling way more confident. Thank you again for all your help!!

Nina is an angel!!! She is so knowledgeable and kind. I finally felt hope in my breast feeding journey! Thank you again for coming to our home for the visit and sending all those resources.

Thanks so much for the session! Feeding has been going well since!

Nina is such a sweet person that I always feel like I’m taking to a friend when I'm talking to her. She is super thorough and pays attention to all details to not miss anything. Nina would come once a week or so to check up on our son’s development and give us advice about taking care of him. We believed that if we were raised with no interventions and we are fine, then our kids should be raised the same way. But, we learned that all babies are different and our son did need to have a tongue and lip tie revision done. Thanks to Nina’s compassionate care, we made the right decision which helped our breastfeeding journey to be more successful and pleasant!

Nina empowered me through an extremely vulnerable recovery from emotional trauma and bodily injury. She met me exactly where I was at: making it easy for me to schedule appointments, sharing our communications with a friend who could help me stay accountable to my healing, and showing compassion and understanding when I struggled with low cognitive functioning. I felt validated in the symptoms I was experiencing as she enriched my knowledge of self with scientific analysis. She crafted unique protocols for me to follow and updated them as I reported back my progress. I was so impressed with her commitment to making my protocols accessible for me to follow, and I am truly grateful for her personal deliveries of supplements, tools, and delicious homemade food. She helped me believe in my ability to heal and encouraged me not settle for a slough of side effects that accompanied my allopathic treatment. Nina’s wisdom and knowledge helped me draw connections between interdependent systems in my body and therefore understand how I could best support my body in its difficult task of growing bone, forming scar tissue, and detoxifying from the effects of neurotoxic drugs and trauma. She gave me many options for tending to the barrage of symptoms and side effects, all the while addressing challenging disruptions to my former life. She never demanded that I adopt changes I wasn’t ready to make; instead she encouraged me to make gentle and gradual adjustments with an informed understanding of how those changes in habits, lifestyle, and diet might alleviate my symptoms. I feel humbled and blessed by the generosity of her care.
