You thought feeding would be beautiful. But mostly, you’re just stressed.
You wanted it to be a peaceful time to bond and connect. But…
→ Breastfeeding has been a whirlwind of latch difficulties, engorgement, and somehow both under- and oversupply.
→ Bottle feeding is hit and miss. (Okay, mostly miss.)
→ Combo feeding sounds great, but one type of feeding has been challenging enough.
→ You’re anxious about going back to work because if it’s this hard for you, what will someone else do?
And on top of all that…
→ You’ve had negative or shame-inducing postpartum care experiences before that make you wary of asking for help.
→ You’re not at your best mentally and emotionally right now, so the wrong look could have you in tears.
→ For sensory reasons or just a lack of capacity, you can’t do “all the things” other consultants recommend.
→ You’ve been carrying this load on your own.
Our mom-first approach to feeding balances baby’s needs with your mental health to give you the postpartum care you both deserve.

Hi! I’m Danielle Mondesir. I’m a speech-language pathologist, ICBLC, and the founder and CEO of Desired Pediatric Therapy Services.
I created Desired Pediatric Therapy Services to ensure that children receive high-quality, child-centred therapy, and their parents get the support they need to navigate the journey. Without judgment, waitlists, frustration, or that feeling of being dismissed!

"She understands where I’m coming from as a mom.
Danielle listens so much. She just wants to support us. She understands where I’m coming from as a mom. She understands me. She’s very determined to help my son. Regardless of what happens, she’s like, “I’m here.” She’s very consistent with him and won’t move on to the next thing until he gets through with it. The first thing that made me work with her is she’s very caring. The first call, she was like, “Let’s give it a try. Let’s move forward.” Since then, she’s been very consistent. She wants to help me. She tries to understand [my son]. It makes me feel like I’m with the right person. She’s not with him because of the money; she really loves him. Together, they’re like a team. Her sessions are so much fun! He even asks for her. “Let’s do Miss Danielle’s session!”
It all starts with a free 15-minute consultation.
