”The breastfeeding clinic at the Crossways through Toronto Health was great.” - Real Anonymous Mama
”Just here to emphasize the other reviews on the Crossways Clinic. I did both in-home paid LC and went there. I actually preferred the help I got at the free clinic.

”I saw Dr Laura. She does an intake interview to find who best matches with your views on things. And they checked up on me regularly since I did extended BF, so lovely.” - Real Anonymous Mama | https://www.instagram.com/laurakentdavidson_nd_ibclc/
****📧 [email protected] | | Camila Valente
”I can’t recommend Camila Valente enough. She came to my house and was super positive and encouraging. I chose her because she’s a registered nurse, which my insurance covered under private nursing. They wouldn’t cover the lactation consultant designation.” - Real Anonymous Mama
”The experience of having a lactation helper with us in the first weeks of life of our newborn was amazing!!! Camila provided us with a bunch of information and also the practical to be more efficient in breastfeeding!!! My little one was not latching perfectly and we readjusted it and now she is gaining weight and not being that stressed cause now she can get enough milk while breastfeeding!!! Thank you so much Camila for all your expertise!!! You made a stressful time turn into a dream!! Camila provides you with real information and she is not preoccupied with the timing of everything!!! My husband and I are grateful for her help!” -Renata C.Q. | https://www.instagram.com/camilavalentelc/

”My little one and I worked with Drs Sarah and Sophia for craniosacral therapy and lactation support respectively. We had such an amazing experience with both doctors and would highly recommend working with Your Downtown Doula. Dr. Sophia, in particular, who we worked with the most, went out of her way to be available to us when issues arose. She supported us in reaching our breastfeeding goals which I believe I would not have been able to reach otherwise. Both doctors approach their practice with compassion and care, leading with instilling moms (especially new moms like me) with the confidence to trust our instincts when it comes to our babies. I hope to continue working with them in the future and would recommend Your Downtown Doula to anyone who wants support from a holistic and natural lens.” -Shefaly G. | https://www.instagram.com/downtowndoulato/
