What parents & parents-to-be are saying…
WARM & CALMING PRESENCE
Tanya is such a warm and calming presence, instantly I felt at ease with her. I was battling with breast rejection with my 4 month old and her advice saved our breastfeeding journey.
I cannot recommend her highly enough!

WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE
Tanya at Thrive Lactation came highly recommended to me when I was pregnant with my first child. I can now see why. I did the antenatal class which gave me the confidence i needed to start my breast feeding journey. I then had Tanya back once my baby was born to help with an array of breast feeding queries from positioning to picking up on my babies queues.
Tanya is a wealth of knowledge and so personable, making mums like myself feel confident and relaxed and even better, she comes to you and works within your schedule. If you are looking for a Lactation Consultant you cannot look past Tanya, she’s the best.

EMPOWERED
Tanya is a fantastic communicator who very effectively informed me about the expectations and realities around breast feeding in the first initial newborn days.
I feel a lot more empowered and ready to support and care for my baby and myself. She taught me to hand express and I am having a lot of success in this area which has been a relief.
Would highly recommend Tanya for any parent/parents to be!

REASSURING & SUPPORTIVE
Tanya was very quick to respond to my enquiry and set up a time to call and chat that same day. She listened to my concerns and was both reassuring and supportive in her advice. Tanya offered guidance and strategies that were achievable and explained everything clearly. She provided me with details of places where I could find additional information if needed. Thanks Tanya for helping me on my feeding journey!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I cannot recommend Tanya enough.
My husband called Tanya on a weekend as I was losing confidence in breastfeeding and she came the next day. She was so kind and warm and we felt comfortable with her straight away. She helped me with feeding positions and helped me to make a plan to continue with breastfeeding. She also helped us with some sleep and settling techniques.
The ongoing support she gives through her Facebook group is so lovely and I love how she called to follow up with me a week after her visit. I will definitely be calling Tanya again when we have out next baby. I’ll be seeing her for a prenatal consult!
Tanya is creating awareness around breastfeeding, giving out knowledge and creating a space for woman to share their journeys via Instagram.

PERSONAL & PRACTICAL
Tanya provides such a crucial service for new mums with warmth and expertise in the comfort of your own home. She offers personal, practical and realistic help for feeding that really gave me the confidence I needed to persist with breast feeding when it almost all felt too hard. I would highly recommend Tanya's services!

FRIENDLY & PATIENT
Tanya is so great! Im a first time mum and she provided so much reassurance that we were on the right track with our breastfeeding journey. She is friendly, patient and so passionate about her job. Her teaching style was great, I felt so much more confident after our appointment! Highly recommend!!

CONFIDENT AGAIN
Tanya was amazing at making me feel confident again with breastfeeding. With a few important tweaks & some honest & caring suggestions, my baby is more settled & feeding so much better. He’s happier and that makes me happy!
Tanya listened to me & never pushed me to go in any particular direction with feeding & I found she really took the time to understand what we needed.
Thank you so much for all your help :-)

HAPPIER BUBBA
I am so glad a friend told me about Tanya! After having my baby, I had some troubles breastfeeding and was getting quite stressed about what to do. Tanya came to my home and patiently showed me how to feed successfully. Although she was there to demonstrate, she made sure I did it all myself a couple of times so I was confident to do it after she left. She gave me so many tips and tricks that I never would have known otherwise. She also was able to set me up with a Spectra pump and taught me how to use it to increase my supply. I have a much happier bubba since her visit.
Thank you Tanya.

STRESS FREE
All I can say is, thank goodness for Tanya!
Because of her guidance and support, I was finally able to feed comfortably in a position like I always wanted but was told by others I could never do.
I wish I had seen her with my previous two children as breastfeeding became quite stressful both times. But now I can feed my baby stress free, comfortably and with the confidence that I am doing the right thing. Thank you Tanya, for everything.

KIND & PATIENT
An amazing experience. Tanya is kind, patient, knowledgeable and passionate. I was really struggling with breastfeeding and Tanya has completely turned my mindset around. Especially grateful for her knowledge regarding tongue tied babies and how to continue efficiently breastfeeding. Really positive experience and can’t thank her enough.

CONFIDENCE TO CONTINUE
Thank you Tanya for your thorough consultations and no nonsense advice. After struggling to breastfeed my first born, Tanya helped us with a perinatal and postnatal visit to go over my concerns and help establish a good routine. I can happily say baby # 2 is EBF, latches wonderfully, and I have a great supply.

INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE
Tanya is amazing. She has been incredibly supportive right the way through learning to breastfeed and my breastfeeding journey. She always makes herself available for us when we need her help and no question is too silly and always answers our queries even for general parenting not only breastfeeding. I don't know I would have been able to persist with breastfeeding if it weren't for her guidance and support. Both my husband and I have learnt so much from her. Thank you Tanya.

GAME CHANGING
Tanya was a Godsend!! At 5 weeks we had an increasingly unsettled baby and we were trying everything to calm her.
I messaged Tanya and an hour later she was in my lounge room!
She suggested tweaking our sleeping arrangements for our daughter and this has been game changing.
I highly highly recommend her expertise. Thank you.
