" I had a virtual consultation with Angela when my baby was 2 weeks old because I was constantly topping up feeds and wasn't sure if [my baby] was getting enough. Angela, with her expertise and also friendly and encouraging demeanour gave us the confidence we needed and from that day forward I was able to exclusively nurse! She has some great knowledge and I believe my journey would have been much different without our virtual session. Highly recommend Angela!"

" Angela is amazing! My son was born during the first wave of Covid and so we leaned on her for virtual sessions. She was able to diagnose my son’s tongue tie over our first video chat - it was too good to be true…but it was. She’s so good at what she does that even virtual sessions were immensely helpful for us (just as much as in person, and definitely more convenient as a new, tired mom). She was always so responsive and empathetic with regards to any breastfeeding related concern (zero judgment at all no matter where you are on the spectrum of nursing to formula). I can’t say enough good things about her and will hire her again for my second baby on the way - even though she’s already taught me so much, I feel more comfortable having her by my side since every baby is so different! Thanks Angela, you’re the best!"

"[Angela's] vast knowledge and warm, non-judgemental approach made me feel completely supported and confident in moving past the challenges and embracing breastfeeding as I had hoped to.... All of the support provided was virtual and it was more valuable than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend Nutmeg Consulting to all parents, especially those expecting their first baby!"

HOW DO VIRTUAL LACTATION SESSIONS WORK?

We know ‘virtual’ lactation support sounds strange at first, but our clients have been completely thrilled at how well Angela’s private, one-on-one, video calls have been working to help with all feeding issues. 

Angela has always been a ‘hands-off’ Lactation Consultant and prefers to demonstrate and guide clients to feel comfortable latching and feeding their own babies.  Research shows that this leads to better outcomes, because you will still be able to feed and trouble shoot even when we’re not there for every feed.

Angela’s virtual sessions are very different that what others provide and they have been just as effective as in-person visits for all feeding issues including newborn feeding assessments, latch issues, engorgement, pumping support, tongue tie assessment, painful feeds, supplementation, milk supply concerns, combo feeding, bottle feeding / tube feeding / cup feeding and anything else that comes up during your feeding journey all the way to weaning!

The flexibility and convenience of virtual support is also helpful when trying to schedule sessions around your baby’s feeding times (we text to figure out when to start based on when baby is actually ready to feed!).  Virtual sessions can be as short or as long as needed (no minimum) so even if you have a smaller issue, you can meet with a Lactation Consultant one-on-one whenever you need to have your questions answered!

Angela has been able to provide such effective, convenient and safe, one-on-one support that the choice to provide mostly virtual sessions allows her to help even more parents every day, all over the world!  If you want the convenience of having a Lactation Consultant who can help you in the comfort of your own home, at any stage of your journey, then a private virtual session is the right choice for you.  

We use Zoom, FaceTime, or telephone depending on the issue. 

Urgent support is also available daily! 

Home visits may be available depending on location (West End, Etobicoke, Downtown), and Nurse Practitioner home visits are also possible across the GTA East to Pickering!) for feeding support and much more! 

Sessions may be covered by Private Insurance depending on your plan.

Angela is a SAVIOUR! I was close to throwing in the breastfeeding towel because of sore, damaged nipples when my husband called Angela. Within hours she was coaching me on proper latching techniques.
In what seemed like five minutes, ANGELA HAD MAGICALLY SOLVED MY PROBLEM! It was a night and day change. Breastfeeding for me is now a very pleasurable experience due to her help. I can't say enough good things about her. Her easy-going and friendly manner complement her skill and knowledge. It was the best investment I have ever made in my life.

After coming home with my newborn and not being able to get her to latch, I called Angela trying not to panic. She worked with me on a plan to help me and my baby. Her friendliness put me at ease – something this anxious mama really needed. Her knowledge base is strong – I really appreciated that she has a nursing background in addition to being a lactation consultant and a mom of three!

What I really appreciated overall is that she spoke to me from the ‘real world’ and shared information that would help me become more intuitive about my baby as opposed to telling me only one ‘right way’ to do things.”
