Breastfeeding Products & Services

Not enough milk is the most common reason women cite for ceasing to breastfeed.

Did you know that most breastfeeding issues, including low milk supply, can be resolved by following the principles of baby-led, exclusive breastfeeding, a good latch and loads of positive support?  It is true.

Our goal at Yellowood is to support you by encouraging you, teaching you and helping with the latch, checking for a possible tongue tie (which both affects the latch and milk supply) and everything else that goes along with having a newborn. Our lactation consulting will help you feel more confident and get the skill you need.

At Revive Massage Therapy we have experienced Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) that strive to stay current in their massage therapy techniques and modalities. All of our RMT’s will provide relaxation and/or therapeutic massage therapy treatments in a very relaxing environment. We have created a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere while keeping the same therapeutic treatments found in a traditional massage therapy clinic. Massage Therapy is an excellent treatment option for people with injuries, muscle tension and daily stress, Additionally, receiving regular massage therapy treatments can be tremendously beneficial to preventing injuries/ pain, and improving flexibility. 

People often ask if they should attend therapy.  Our response is that we all have times when we need a little help. Whether it seems like a small ‘bump’ in the road or a ‘mountain’ standing before you, making the decision to attend counselling is often difficult—it takes courage.  However, it can be the most important decision you can make for personal growth and health. While problems may seem overwhelming at times, counselling offers you a new perspective and skills to overcome the problems.

At Sherry Maxwell and Associates we work with individuals, couples and families dealing with a wide range of issues.  

In all of our work we take the goals set by the client and work toward those goals.  For individuals it might be self-esteem, stress, anxiety, disordered eating, abuse issues, trauma, addictions or needing someone to help them develop their life plan or path.  We like to take people from struggling, to acceptance, to total happiness.
