TESTIMONIALS

“As a family doctor, it is so helpful to find wonderful professionals to collaborate with. Breastfeeding is often a challenging experience for new moms and babies. The process is unique and special for everyone.  I recommend Catherine McEvilly Pestl to my patients because of her expertise and kind, warm approach.”

— Dr. Valerie Ha MD, Toronto

 

"Catherine has always been prompt and straight-forward and we would highly recommend her. It was a very convenient and positive experience to have my breastfeeding assessed in the comfort of my home. Catherine addressed various concerns on different occasions."

— Jamie's Parents, Toronto

 

"Catherine is an absolute delight! She has a warm and gentle approach, and her expert guidance helped me to gain confidence with breastfeeding during those overwhelming and chaotic first few weeks. She felt like a trusted friend coming into my home offering caring support and encouragement, and she was readily available by text for follow up questions. As a Pediatrician, and now also a mom, I know how difficult breastfeeding can be, so I would encourage all Moms to find support – and I would absolutely recommend Catherine!"

— Dr. Katie M., Pediatrician, Toronto

 

"Catherine was incredible at giving me much needed support and information during a really tough period. And being able to follow up with her whenever I needed to has been so helpful."

— Camellia, Toronto

 

"There were many times when I felt I couldn't do this any longer, or worried that my milk supply was low. I'd turn toCatherine for advice and her responses were always positive and encouraging. Every little hiccup we faced she would immediately address. My family and I are forever grateful for her unwavering support. Now that we've moved back to Dubai, the whole family truly misses Catherine."

— Mona, Dubai

"My Daughter turned one this past weekend and we are still nursing. After the way we started, I never thought this would happen — or that I would be super emotional about having to wean her. Nursing has become such a special time for us. It took 16 weeks to get her gaining weight and nursing without a shield, but the perseverance paid off and I wouldn't have had the confidence to continue without your support and guidance."

— Cody, Toronto

“Feeding Leah in her own room with dim lights seems to really help her get good feeds in during the day, which is seeming to help at night as well! Yay! And even when she wakes at weird times through the night I don't get too frustrated because I know that this is developmentally normal for her (previously I would wonder if she didn't get enough to eat during the day or if her nap/sleep schedule was off and I would stress about it). I was initially hesitant to reach out to you after having already seen another lactation consultant who wasn’t very helpful or understanding. But I’m so glad that I did!”
