Testimonials:

Doula Clients

"Briony was my doula for the birth of my 1st child. Briony helped me by just being there, but she also helped by being my voice when I couldn't speak. She helped with simple things like dimming the lights, having gentle music playing, patting my face with cold towels between contractions. It also was a bonus that she is a massage therapist and knows where the pain is striking, using acupressure to help decrease the pain during contractions. Having the extra support I believe helped me get through pre-labour, labour and the birth with no gas, drugs or intervention required, which was what I wanted. The birth of our son was the most amazing experience of my life and I can't wait to do it again...and I'll being have Briony by my side when the time comes, no question." - Blake

"Having Briony at the birth of my daughter gave me enormous peace of mind.  I had a challenging pregnancy and I believe Briony went above and beyond the call of duty assisting me n her role as a doula - it is so obvious that she loves this vocation!

She is warm and nurturing on one hand and extremely knowledgable and professional on the other.  All my requests for advice and information were always met in record time.

My birth did not end up going to plan and finally required intervention for the safe arrival of my baby.  It was so reassuring to have Briony's presence by my side the entire time (around 20 hours all up) gently encouraging and supporting me in reaching my own decisions on what course of action to take.

I can't speak highly enough of Briony - she made all the difference to my pregnancy and birthing experience". - Venessa

"Briony was present for the birth of our second son, Liam. She was incredibly supportive, encouraging and positive throughout the whole birthing experience from planning through to delivery and beyond. Briony's gentle encouragement and massage skills were fantastic and carried me through the worst of contractions. Although my labour was short, I had several false alarms in the weeks preceding and Briony was present for all of them including some late night call outs!!
I would highly recommend Briony as a Birthing Doula." - Hayley

"The education I received regarding birth and breastfeeding was very thorough and helpful. The loan of relevant and up to date reference books, CDs and DVDs, paired with personalised chats and advice really put my mind at ease throughout my pregnancy and birth.

The best thing about your doula service is the natural, personal approach and consistency of care - which I didn't receive through the hospital or midwife group care. Thank you!" - Mary

"Briony provided excellent support to my wife and I during the birth of our second child. Her massage skills helped immensely and surpassed anything I would have been able to do. She assisted without being intrusive and provided fantastic encouragement to my wife. The experience was better for me the second time round with Briony's help, as I was able to focus on my wife and not be distracted doing the things Briony was able to provide.

I would highly recommend Briony to anyone about to give birth!" - Rob

Thanks for your help!" - Ross & Chantal

I will have no hesitation in recommending you to everyone!" - Tiphanie

We will be calling on you again for our next pregnancy & birth." - Melissa

Nutrition Clients

"I wanted to thank you again for getting my health back on track.

Stuart and I were married in Fiji as planned. I felt great and fit into my size 10 dress!!! It was the most wonderful day.

The food diary and supplements you recommended have really helped. My platelets have remained in the 'normal' range for over 6 months and I feel better than I have in years. I'm even going back to work this week!

Fingers crossed I've put ITP behind me, but should things ever change at least I know I can get help from you." - Kellee

"I saw Briony last year for advice on fertility and nutrition. I instantly felt comfortable and confident that she was the right person for what I needed. Briony taught me things about healthy eating and positive lifestyle which helped get me on track with my fertility, overall health and wellbeing. She was easy to talk to and had fantastic advice.

I recommend Briony for anyone, whether it's fertility, weight loss, or just how to start to feel better about yourself. - Louise

"The table and pillows were so comfortable.  I've often felt like I was going to fall off the bed in previous massages during this pregnancy." - Bronwyn

Infant Massage Clients

"I really enjoyed the classes - chatting with the other Mums, sharing information and watching the babies interact.  I learnt more than just how to massage, but also how to understand my baby's signs.  The classes gave me more confidence with my baby and we both really enjoy massage time." - Jodie, Mum to Ethan

"I just wanted to let you know that Ava is now 3 and we are still loving our massage time!  Ava even sets her own mat up now and chooses her music and gets the oil out ready, so cute.  Thanks for teaching us a beautiful technique that I hope we can keep up for many years to come." - Carly, Mum to Ava
