“I feel like I have a new perspective on the dyad. It is SO easy as a therapist to be baby focused. I love the information about postpartum planning and nutrition. I also feel like my Lactation OT intake forms are so much more meaningful. I can also be very baby focused when I'm looking over the forms but now I see the information about pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum is a whole new lens that I know will benefit the dyads I support.” -SLP

“The slides were clear & full of great info. I took so many notes. I appreciated the diversity presented both in the graphics and information shared. Darian is very knowledgable and all of the information in this course was exactly what I was looking for and can be applied in practice immediately. I love how she blended in information on traditional practices. I enjoyed her presentation style and she had me laughing with the "let's be real, folks still don't know what OT is"! Truth.”

“Excellent! As someone who teaches lactation professionals, specifically on counseling, I found this training to be extremely thorough. The level of compassion in this training is not traditionally seen in clinical trainings. The compassion, based on evidence, is what put this training above others that I've experienced.”

“The practical ways to apply this information to practice. I feel like this is one of the best classes I have taken through Lactation OT.”

“The clear and concise information was easy to follow. The personal videos were especially touching and helped to bring all the information together. One of the best CEU courses I've taken in quite some time. It really helps to bring a vulnerability to the work that we do.”

“This course was AMAZING! I was taking notes the whole time as Dairian shared a lot of great information! The personal stories that were shared in the course were so touching, relatable and definitely supported the content shared. As a new maternal health OT and starting my own practice, this information confirmed once more of the need of these services for all moms, but specially for our black and brown communities. I really liked how the information for interventions was broken down with examples and ideas. I felt like I learned a lot and felt encouraged as new practice owner to service moms, families and their little ones. Thank you Dairian, thank you lactation OT for the all the wonderful courses you provide and for paving the way for all of us starting on this niche area of OT!”
