"Above and beyond"

Rhiannon goes above and beyond to nurture and provide for each mother and family she supports. Whilst I was pregnant, Rhiannon shared many wonderful resources with me - such as books and podcasts that would help me be informed and empowered. In her postpartum planning workshop, she got me thinking clearly about the kind of postpartum I wanted to have, the important ways a family needs to be nurtured and the confidence to ask for it.

Like many women, I felt uncomfortable with the idea of allowing others to nurture me and treat me like a goddess, being so used to pleasing others and taking care of them. But Rhiannon gave me permission to honour my own needs in this important time.

During Rhiannon's visit, I felt so relaxed with a hot tea and a foot massage. She also has this wonderful knack of looking at a room and knowing just what needs to be done to help: folding washing, tidying and chatting to my 3yo without me having to ask.

Rhiannon makes it possible to experience postpartum as the precious healing time it should be.

"The Best Decision for My Journey"

“I booked Rhiannon at 7 weeks pregnant, and it has been the best decision for my journey into motherhood. She has been a nurturing presence, connecting me with other expectant mothers and sharing valuable resources, including delicious recipes. Most importantly, she has helped me centre my pregnancy and postpartum experience around tender care and nourishment during this vulnerable and expansive time.

Having her text and phone support early on provided me with guidance during the first three months, which I found particularly challenging. It’s often too early to announce the pregnancy, work/life continues, and morning sickness and bodily changes can be overwhelming! Rhiannon was a constant source of support during this isolating period, someone I could always confide in.

It’s more than just pregnancy; having a wise woman like Rhiannon to seek parenting style advice from and navigate breastfeeding & beyond has been invaluable. Through watching her parent & even being welcomed into her home, I have gained a greater understanding of what happens beyond the unknown of birth. It’s been wonderful to share the moments & milestones of pregnancy with her, & I can’t wait for her to see me ‘graduate’ into motherhood.” ~ Yasmin

"A Calm and Consistent Presence"

“I entered this pregnancy looking for support for both my husband and I, I’d heard of a birth doula before but not one for postpartum & that’s where I found Rhi. It has been so wonderful having her on this journey with us from the beginning of the second trimester.

She has been a calm and consistent presence, always there to answer any questions & help navigate conversations with our village. We have developed a great relationship over this time that will help her support us as a postpartum doula, we know she’s someone we can trust and will help to navigate the wild ride that is going through postpartum and looking after a newborn.” ~ Sarah
