Jessica
“It was redeeming and healing to have things be so straightforward this time. I was able to trust my body and birth as a natural process”
Erin
"My relationship with [my midwife] Marita became something I deeply treasured as bonds of trust grew. This was one of the key components that had been missing in all my previous birth experiences.”
Danielle
“Harry was born at 42 weeks, despite the pressure from the hospital to induce labour. I trusted my body and Veronica. I was determined to have a homebirth in a birthing pool”.
Morag
A warm shower rinsed off the debris of birth and symbolically washed away any trauma I’d been holding onto from my son’s birth.
Kathryn
“The relaxed and tailored support alleviated my anxiety about being overdue and the possibility that I may need to be induced. I felt so at peace with the process and felt no stress or pressure. I truly believe this allowed my body to feel safe and go into labour naturally.”
Erica
“It was the most calm, gentle, nurturing experience. I felt held and cared for - while everything was at my pace and my choice. I had the opportunity to listen and trust my body and my baby and it felt like a truly magical experience.”
Erin
I was able to share the magic of my labour and birth with my daughter. She witnessed the pure strength and capability of women and how we can birth our babies.
Stefania
I looked up back at Edie, she was no longer the centre of my universe. Now, there were two centres.
