testimonial
"Paola is an outstanding mentor with a wealth of information that needs to be shared with as many people as possible!
I am honoured to have been able to work along side her over the past few months. It was an honour to complete my clinical hours with her. She was genuinely invested in the growth and development of my practice and learning. She truly put her heart in to making my time at Mamas Au Lait the best possible experience.
Thank you for taking me under your wing Paola,
Deena Zacks."
