Testimonials

“Markus and team are amazing. Our son’s tube weaning journey could not have been as successful and as safe without their fine tuned advice and support. The wealth of knowledge that Markus possesses in tube weaning cannot be replicated. His and Joao’s precise and tailored recommendations helped us immensely in navigating how to encourage our child to eat orally. They were flexible, always available and extremely thoughtful in answering any questions and concerns. I am so thankful that a professional team like this exists. I will always recommend them to anyone trying to tube wean their child”

“We have done it! After three failed attempts with another feeding company, our little boy is finally tube free in less than two weeks thanks to Markus Wilken & his amazing team. A huge thank you to Joao & Johanna for their expertise & guidance during meal times. Joao, thank you for your round the clock support! We’re a complex case due to a tracheostomy, but the team have been amazing. We are at the start of our tube free journey & what an amazing journey to be on. If you are looking for advice, guidance, support & hope, please reach out to Markus & his team. Don’t give up, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Forever grateful!”

“Heartfelt Thank You to Markus!

Our daughter had been NG tube-fed since birth, and after multiple unsuccessful attempts with various teams to wean her off, we were feeling overwhelmed. But thanks to the incredible expertise and unwavering support of Markus Wilken, we’ve finally succeeded in this crucial milestone. In just one week of working with him, she is now tube-free! His dedication, patience, and compassionate approach have made all the difference. We cannot express how much this means to our family. Thank you for helping us achieve what once felt impossible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you”

“It was such a difficult journey for us. We had so many setbacks, and it felt like luck would never be on our side. But finally, we have been able to get the damn NG tube out.Our little one was fully tube-fed since birth and just never got the opportunity to start eating on his own. According to the medical team, the chances of him being able to eat orally were grim, and their recommendation was to opt for surgeries that we were not at all comfortable with.We would have never been able to do it without Markus, Johanna, and João. They were there with us every step of the way, and though our wean took a bit longer, they supported us in every way they could. We would have failed if we did not have the backing of this amazing team. They were always available, answered all our questions patiently and even provided us the mental health support that was required to help our son wean off the tube.We have made it 30 days without the tube—something that was unimaginable a few months back”

“We are finally tube free! This would have not been possible without Markus Wilken , João Vaz and Johanna Broccoli.

Our son, 16 months corrected has been tube fed since birth (NG, Gtube and then PEG-J) and had a very strong oral aversion due to a very long NICU stay. He would cry if we put him in feeding chair and would gag at the smell of food.

The constant throwing up all day kept us locked in our home, reflux that wouldn’t subside, overfeeding via tube, constant leaks from the stoma and skin irritation, lack of freedom of movement (continuous feeds) hindering milestone development all affected our overall quality of life.

The constant support, patience and guidance that we received from Markus and his wonderful team gave us the strength and confidence during the wean and we are now tube free, milestone development kicked in and most important of all, our son is happy. We are forever grateful to this wonderful team and their constant support. They stood by us at all times and especially on days when we felt it was impossible to be tube free.

Thank you Markus, Joao and Johanna, you’ve changed our lives!”

Aarti Balasubramanian

We’re so grateful to Joao, Markus, and Johanna — our twins are tube-free thanks to their incredible support! Our babies had been NG-fed since birth, with zero oral intake, constantly vomiting and on reflux meds. Our son, who is developmentally delayed, was expected to need the tube long-term. But our daughter was off in just three days, and our son in two weeks. The team guided us every step of the way and gave us the confidence to keep going. It’s been truly life-changing — we can’t recommend them enough!

Aditi and Arihant Jain

“Working with the tube weaning team was a turning point for our family. After little progress with our local care plan, trusting something new felt like a risk, but their expertise and clear guidance gave us confidence. They were always available and ready to connect virtually, which made a huge difference during tough moments. Their patience and understanding helped us feel supported every step of the way. We would absolutely recommend them to any family in a similar situation. Thank you Markus, Joao and team for your time, and for always showing up when we needed it—we’re so grateful for everything you’ve done for our family. With love, from Canada
