Testimonials

“Alison was there to support me during my pregnancies and after the birth of three of my children. Her capable hands rocked, fed and nurtured my children. Alison made sure to give my older children just the right amount of attention, so they never felt left out and understood the important role of older siblings. During my darkest hours, when my daughter was terminally ill, Alison was there to offer emotional support as well as informed advice. Her calm and caring yet authoritative demeanour is her great strength. I recommend Alison for any parent wanting support during pregnancy and post-partum.”

“Alison is an intuitive and compassionate caregiver. Her decades of experience with children of all ages, paired with her strong emotional intelligence was a gift from above as I navigated the dark days of early motherhood. With very few supports, I don’t think I could have made it through those first months without her. Her sensitivity as I navigated postpartum anxiety and depression, saved me. Alison was also with me through my second birth and was key for different reasons. I had a toddler and baby with completely different, constant needs. I felt overwhelmed and highly anxious. Alison was able to help me with strategies to find a new normal and she walked with me on that journey. She even brought activities and food for my toddler to keep him busy while she visited.
She is kind, genuine and makes me laugh. I would highly recommend her support for your birth and beyond. She will always be a part of our family.”

Alison was exceptional in helping us after our baby was born. As first time parents, there were many small things we needed guidance with. Having had a c section, Alison had to show my husband how to bath our son, right in the hospital! I needed extra help with breastfeeding and then pumping. She was able to give me extra support and advice in both areas and without judgement. It was so reassuring to be able to ask her anything at any time. You can really tell Alison has a gift with newborns, and her knowledge is vast in all areas of postpartum care. Alison is like a security blanket for parents. I don't know what we would have done without her!

We could not have gotten through our birth without you. We never would have been able to cope without your comfort or navigate decisions without you. Having your calm, steady presence helped us throughout the labour. Having your guidance and ideas on managing contractions was worth every penny. Quietly showing my husband how to support me while also making sure that he was taken care of was so helpful. You have a combination of physical comfort and information to help us understand the process.
