Lisa, I see this over and over in my online practice. Mothers see whomever,
with *what*ever qualifications. They often give up, after getting     help
that was not helpful.  Once a mother has been "helped," she is unlikely to
seek out other help if it doesn't work out.  The public has no idea of
level of qualification.

As long as we have these types of alternate qualifications,  we will have
shoddy service which will give us all a black eye, as we are only as good
as our weakest link. The public has no idea.  However, as long as there is
money to be made, there will be qualifications to be had. Could it be about
money?
