Kims Testimonial
We had Vera as our doula for our recent homebirth, and she was an absolute asset and tremendous support for my long labour and delivery. I don't know what we would have done without her, but more importantly, her support afterwards was even more appriciated.
Vera has a kind and gentle soul which shines through in everything she does. She was my sole support for many hours while my husband attended our toddler, and then when he had time to support me, she seamlessly went into support mode for him. She's intuitive, and she quickly created a sense of trust with me, and I felt like I could be completely vounarable with her. She stayed with me for hours and hours, even when labor was stalling, she listened to her instincts and stayed with me while things ramped up again. I felt so cared for and safe, even in the postpartum period.
Thank you so much Vera - we will always be so appreciative of your support.

I highly recommend Vera. I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of post partum care from Vera after having my baby girl. After an epic 3 day labour I felt all kinds of depleted by the time baby was earth side. Vera went above and beyond to ensure that I felt emotionally supported and physically nourished. Vera picked up my placenta from the hospital, created beautiful and sentimental art work out of it and then encapsulated it for me. Vera also delivered wholesome and nutritious food and beverages to my bedside in hospital, and then over the following weeks at home (all very delicious, comforting, easily digested and specifically made with ingredients for promoting healthy lactation) and she would take the time to stay for chat. I found it incredibly valuable having Vera to debrief my whole birth experience with. Vera has a gift for holding space and being so present in the moment, even when I needed to go over things repeatedly, to process it all, Vera was unwavering in her compassion, understanding and support. Whether I needed a hug, an ear, a shoulder, advice, reassurance or even a laugh, my cup felt fuller every time after our visits.

Vera provided me with the most nourishing support after the birth of our second baby, Penelope. She is gifted with ability to make newborn mummas feel at ease and comfortable during the turbulence of the post partum period.
I received lots of wholesome meals which were perfect for a breastfeeding mum. Her warming turmeric tea was my absolute favourite and something that I continue to make for myself and family.
Vera's kind and gentle presence felt so uplifting and her visits will be cherished for many years to come.
She is also gifted with her creative abilities and gave me a placenta print, curated with native flowers that were picked close to Penelope's estimated arrival date. It is absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend her to care for you after the birth of your baby.

I met Vera by chance whilst visiting a friend after she had just given birth. I was instantly drawn to her warm, calming energy.
After meeting Vera and chatting about her birth worker journey, I went home and knew I had to message her to chat about my upcoming postpartum journey.
After birthing our son, Vera stopped by and picked up his placenta. Right from meeting her I knew my sons placenta would be treated with love and respect. I had requested placenta art work and for it to be dried and ground into a powder so I could later plant with a tree. She not only created the most amazing placenta art work I have ever seen, she also gave my 3 year old daughters placenta print new life.
Vera visited on multiple occasions bringing the most delicious warming foods and tea, entertained my daughter (she’s a great dancer hehe) while I fed my son and helped with my washing. None of this was expected of her yet she showed up in more ways than one and I am so grateful our paths had crossed.
Vera will make you feel like family and like you’ve known each other all along.
