I am a mother of twin boys. As a first time mother I was excited and nervous at the same time. Mary helped me to feel comfortable and confident with my new babies. Mary was given to us as a baby shower gift. She was the best gift we received. Mary helped us through many obstacles like breastfeeding, growth spurts and sleeping patterns. Mary kept constant communication with me. I never had to go a day feeling overwhelmed. I was able to call her at anytime but it seemed she always called first. Mary called everyday to see how things were going and gave wonderful advice on my concerns. Mary gives her expertise unconditionally. She truly cares about her clients and their baby’s well being. I highly recommend Mary. If we ever decide to have another child we will definitely have Mary by our sides.  Michelle Small November 25, 2005
A friend of mine referred me to Mary when I was having a difficult time breastfeeding my daughter, Drew. When Drew was 3 weeks old Mary observed me nurse, and taught me many helpful techniques on how to correct nipple confusion, ensure a good latch and the overall benefits of breast milk for my child. Although I hired Mary as a Lactation Consultant, she helped me in so many other ways and most importantly helped me in my transition to a new mom. I literally called her day and night with questions, seeking advice and sometimes to just have someone to talk to. She was always accessible, reassured me that I was doing the right thing and always made me feel that I wasn’t going through this alone. I nursed Drew until she was 7 ½ months old and I credit that to the help Mary provided me. I honestly don’t know if I would have made it past that third week if I hadn’t called her. I am so thankful for her expertise and her friendship. I would highly recommend Mary to any new mom.  Randi Leonardis November 19, 2005
When I had my first baby, I had a cesarean section. Without Mary's help, I don't know what I would have done. The assistance she provided to me as a new mother was exactly what I needed. She made it so much easier for me to recover from my surgery and adjust to the demands of caring for a newborn. She made nutritious and delicious lunches and watched my son so I could take a nap or a long shower which really helped restore my energy after being up all night. She cooked dinner for us, helped with the laundry and straightened up the house. It was great to have her help and I looked forward to her visits. Mary's breastfeeding knowledge is extensive. She is very supportive without being judgmental and offers suggestions for all of the quirky things that newborns do when breastfeeding. I didn't enjoy breastfeeding and had a lot of problems in the beginning. I wouldn't have continued without her assistance. I'm confident in her ability to solve any breastfeeding issue which will enable breastfeeding mothers to continue longer. One of the especially nice things about having Mary around is her personality. It is like visiting with a friend, which is especially nice when you are at home most of the day with a newborn. She has a lot of experience with new mothers and is very helpful with questions about newborn care and postpartum issues. I definitely want her help when I have another baby. All in all, Mary is an excellent postpartum doula and a wonderful lactation consultant. I would recommend her services to all new mothers, whether it's your first or subsequent child.

Mary was a great help to me as my lactation consultant after the birth of my son, Alex. I started out in the hospital breastfeeding without any unusual problems. But then, naturally, as a few weeks went by I started to have some questions and concerns and so I called Mary. She made me feel very comfortable reaching out for help day or night. She was sincere and competent in addressing my concerns. I am thankful for having her as a resource and would highly recommend her to any breastfeeding Mom. Erica Murphy March 24, 2004
Mary helped me enormously after the birth of my daughter, Cymbeline, who is now three. Since Cymbeline was my first child and I did not have a close relationship with my family, I felt very emotional and overwhelmed, and unsure of my abilities as a mother. Mary, with her warm, confident and competent manner, was very soothing. She came 4-5 times a week for the first few months and brought order, warmth and sanity to our house. She organized Cymbeline's room, would watch Cymbeline so I could grab a nap, taught me how to bathe Cymbeline, how to calm her down and suggested tips that we continue to use, such as using a soothing sound-machine in her room when she goes to sleep. She also encouraged me to take care of myself, something easy to forget when caring for a baby. I was very interested in breastfeeding, and Mary's expertise in this area was invaluable as well. I enjoyed spending time with Mary and continued to use her well into my fourth month home, and even on days home after I went back to work. Mary generously made herself available after hours, and I would call her frequently when I ran into problems breastfeeding, or if something else concerned me. I remember having a crisis with my breast pump at work and I immediately called Mary, who calmed me down and helped me solve the problem. I can't recommend Mary highly enough, and if I have another child, she'll be the first person I call.  Jennifer Coates March 22, 2004
	My Doula, Mary Olesky, was imperative in the birth of both my children. Without her, I know my children would not have had the luxury of entering this world in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. Michael Chaladoff December 7, 2003
