Clients Say

“ Stefi’s care was essential to our great and blissful experience in pregnancy, labour, and during the first days of parenthood. During challenging moments, we do not know what we would have done without her supportive and calm presence on our sides, and sharing the joy, excitement, and wonders of birthing with her was just as special for us. ”— Eva, Ara & Max

“ Even more important than the progress that was made with my labour, Renee's visit made a world of difference for my husband, Jeff. He’d been by my side helping me through every moment of my labour and was exhausted and worried. Your calm and confident presence comforted him immensely. He’s told everyone we know how much help it was to him and is committed to having a Doula like yourself at our next birth. ”— Stacey Langford

“ People say that labouring women somehow forget what is happening to them. That was my experience. Shannon kept reminding me that the intensity of the sensations was my baby’s head pressing down. ‘Make the passage easy for your baby’, she reminded me. ‘Wonderful’, she would say after an intense contraction. I felt her constant presence beside me. She gave confidence to both my partner and me; My partner was able to be present and relaxed. We feel that Shannon set the stage for a calmness that we were able to continue in our home. She helped us birth both our baby and our family. ”— Esther
