"I cried with her as I held her for the first time, in shock that she was actually with us after what felt like a long road of secondary infertility. I’m so proud my bright eyed little girl was born surrounded by such incredible women, practicing the oldest and most sacred job"
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”

"The calm of home gave space for the primal nature of birthing, a fierce energy that gives you the power to leap into the unknown. We were supported by a team we chose and deeply trusted, a team that made the beautiful experience a joyous celebration.”
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”.

Maeve’s birth was profoundly healing, revealing my strength and fulfilling dreams I missed with Jude’s emergency C-section. The invincible feeling I had afterward sustained me through our postpartum journey, making that morning one of the most unforgettable and magical experiences of my life

“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.”

Birth was everything and nothing like I had imagined, intense yet calm, humbling yet incredibly empowering and the best damn thing I’ll ever do in my whole life.
