reviews
Marie’s experience, knowledge, and interactive presentation style [were] the combination for a great seminar.

-- Susan Santos, RN IBCLC, Hudson NH


I found [Marie’s] seminar interesting and likely to have appeal for both experienced IBCLCs/RLCs…and for those new to the field of lactation.

-- Pardee Henderson Hinson, MPH IBCLC CHTP, Charlotte NC


Marie’s Ethics seminar made me stop and examine my practice in an ethical light. After attending the program, I realize how important it is to be prepared when faced with a challenging ethical situation. [It’s] a very valuable program!

-- Ginger Carney, RD LDN IBCLC RLC, Memphis TN


Since ethics [has been] required for certification [since] 2007, it is important to have workshops on the subject. Marie is filling this need—very well I might add.

-- Gail Martel, RNC IBCLC, Auburn ME


The seminar was great. It helped me put in perspective the ethical situations we encounter every day in practice and gave me the background to approach others about unethical situations in a non-threatening manner. I find the information has been helpful almost daily.

-- Judy Levy-Stutsky, RN BSN IBCLC, Rockville MD


It’s always a pleasure to be at a Marie Biancuzzo seminar because she has a magical gift of presenting accurate, evidence-based information in a way that keeps you captivated… Marie is a phenomenal speaker, and I absolutely enjoyed the seminar.

-- Laurie Sanz, RN IBCLC, Lowell MA


Marie’s Lactation Exam Review is the one best way to prepare for the exam!

-- Peggy Curtis, RN BSN IBCLC, Denver CO


[The seminar] made a world of difference in taking the test!

-- Becky Martin, RN IBCLC, Fairfield CA


The course is packed with current, evidence-based information designed to keep you ahead of the game as you prepare for the IBLCE exam. Every penny spent is worth it in this course. …Get ready to work in this course and be richly rewarded with a passing score!

-- Rebecca Matthews, DNP, Jonesboro AR
