I contacted Ella when I was in tears & in agony & she got back to us the same day with a call to give us instructions of what to do before she arrived & fitted us in with first available appointment.
I cannot recommend her enough- she is amazing. I went from tears of frustration & feeling like I was failing to tears of relief at the end of the appointment.
After multiple visits & calls with feeding teams, midwives & health visitors I was still really struggling after causing myself trauma but after one visit from Ella it felt like something clicked. She’s so kind, patient & knowledgeable & we came away feeling really informed & like we can now work on a feeding plan which works for us as a family rather than just winging it & hoping for the best.
We covered latch, nipple care, expressing, sleep & mental health & how to protect these whilst breastfeeding & some bottle info for combi-feeding. My husband also found the information so useful on how he could support & be involved so he didn’t feel like a spare part or like he couldn’t settle her.
Thank you Ella- will be recommending you to every expectant mumma!

I honestly don’t think I would have managed to breastfeed without Ella. I found breastfeeding SO much harder than I ever expected and there were so many times, especially in those first weeks, where I was ready to give up. Ella was quite literally the reason I kept going.
She was always there to answer my million questions, reassure me when I was convinced something was wrong and give me actual practical advice that helped. I never felt judged or pressured by her, just completely supported.
I ended up breastfeeding for longer than I ever thought I would and I genuinely don’t think that would have happened without her. I’ll always be so grateful to Ella for helping me through such a vulnerable and overwhelming time as a new mum.
Couldn’t recommend Ella and ELF Care enough ❤️

I saw Ella four weeks post partum. My daughter had severe tongue tie that had been sorted but had left her with poor latching technique that resulted in me having sores and a nasty infection. I would not have continued breast feeding if it wasn’t for Ella. Her mountain of knowledge and experience guided me and my baby how to properly latch. She gave face to face and over the phone support which meant I knew I could contact her if things weren’t going well. I felt so lost in the whole process of breast feeding, feeling it should come naturally and that i was failing at it for myself and my daughter. Ella was the most safe and supportive person, constantly encouraging me and celebrating the small wins when we improved. I am now breastfeeding 5 months in and it couldn’t be easier. If you were thinking of getting help with Ella you will not regret it!

Ella was a huge part of our postpartum journey . She bought nothing but gentle positivity, calm and understanding into our home.
I can honestly say she makes you feel that there is nothing you can’t achieve.
I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I don't think my feeding journey would of gone as well as it did without Ella. On the days I was feeling depleted and fed up she was there helping me feel empowered and capable with her extensive knowledge and support. I felt completely safe and at ease and that's something any new mum desperately needs. Thank you Ella, I think of you and how much you helped us often ❤️

I honestly cannot recommend Ella enough. Her knowledge, expertise and support have been invaluable throughout my breastfeeding journey.
Ella has given me so much confidence in myself and my ability to breastfeed going on 6 months now, from answering my questions and offering practical advice to providing encouragement when I needed it most, Ella has been amazing every step of the way.
Thank you for being such an important part of our breastfeeding journey!
