Testimonials

My husband and I did a postpartum planning session where Steph took us through a range of questions/considerations which were really helpful in stimulating conversations on some topics we hadn't considered life postpartum.... This was really helpful in opening up conversations between my husband and I where we may not have realised how we felt about it and how the other thought about it.  Our session with Steph left us feeling so much more ready and confident to navigate our next chapter as a team. Steph made us feel really comfortable the whole time to talk through anything we wanted to as the conversation opened up.

There are times in your life that have more of a lasting impact than you could have ever imagined. Post partum has been that time for me. I engaged Steph as a doula following the birth of my second baby.  I can honestly say my only regret was not having a doula the first time around!  Steph was so integral in helping me to make my post partum intentional. Throughout her postpartum sessions I felt so well taken care of. I came away from our time feeling heard, nourished and even more organized. There was a sense of rest and achievement all at once. She allowed me to sink into the really important period of rest we so often try to rush past.  During our sessions, Steph helped me prepare meals and organize milk storage, she helped me with some light touch massage with trouble areas, she helped me to reflect and engage positively with my birth experience. She even helped keep my toddler engaged throughout the sessions so I truly felt at ease. This is just some of the many ways Steph supported me in this time, this woman doesn’t waste even a minute of your session, achieving so much in such a short space of time whilst making you feel relaxed.  Being a mumma, I often put my needs last. I realised through my sessions, that this season is not the time to do that as this time is really shaping our journey into lifelong motherhood.  I will absolutely be calling on Steph to support me whenever we decide to welcome our next bub. She provides a service with a heart modeled on Christ, what more could a mumma need!

Steph came for a postpartum session at my home after the birth of my second bub. During this time she gave me practical support around the home, spoilt me with moments of self care for mama, and provided a space to talk about our shared faith, the future, and struggles in motherhood.

One thing I really appreciated was being able to talk through my birth story - the first time since birth where I shared every little detail. This was so special for me to relive and also gave me the chance to reflect on details I hadn’t yet reflected on. All the time I was talking (and feeding bub), Steph was listening, giving encouraging words, and affirming my experience, whilst also managing to bake me delicious fresh biscuits, make me a warm drink, and clean my kitchen. What a legend!

For the second half of my session, Steph held my sleeping bub and played so beautifully with my toddler so that I was able to do a few things that I’d been itching to get off my list! This time also gave me a few moments of quiet, something that is always appreciated in a busy home.

Steph was so warm and caring. She is a beautiful and passionate doula who would be a valuable part of any women’s postpartum journey.

We had thought a lot about birth but not at all about post-partum. Steph’s postpartum planning session was perfect – she asked all the right questions to get us talking about things that hadn’t even crossed our minds, and we are going in feeling so much more confident and prepared. She brought this completely warm and comfortable presence with her as soon as she walked in the door, so no questions or worries felt off limits. Not to mention her baking is pretty great too! She also provided lots of handy resources that we can refer to as needed. Highly recommend Steph if you’re looking for extra support to approach the wild time of post-partum with confidence!
