Testimonials

Lou was honestly one of the best decisions we made during my pregnancy. Going into my second birth, I was carrying trauma from a previous emergency C-section and knew I needed the right support around me. From the moment we met Lou, I felt instantly calm. Her energy, presence and the way she held space made me know straight away that I wanted her on this journey with us. She helped me work through a lot of the fear and triggers from my first birth, and supported me to put practical, realistic plans in place so I could feel informed and in control no matter how things unfolded. She never pushed an ideal birth experience or made unrealistic promises. Instead, she gave me the knowledge, support and confidence I needed to have the birth that was right for me. Our prenatal catch-ups were always so supportive, helpful and easy. She also made such a beautiful effort to include my husband and first born, which meant so much to us. By the time baby arrived, Lou genuinely felt like family. During labour and birth, I felt safe enough to fully surrender because I knew Lou was there, calmly supporting us and advocating for my wishes. And after birth, in those precious first moments with our baby, she was just there in the most grounding and seamless way. I’m so incredibly grateful for Lou and truly cannot recommend her highly enough. T + J

Louise is a warm, caring, and generous doula. Her encouragement, positivity and gentle support during my pregnancy and postpartum were invaluable. Even though my birth didn’t go to plan (whose does!), she helped me navigate my options and feel confident in my decisions. And as a bonus... her rice pudding is amazing! L + D

Lou is incredible and I could never articulate just how special it was to have her assisting us post partum. She is so knowledgeable, caring, fun and calming to be around. I can’t tell you enough how great it felt to be held and seen by her in such a special time of life. If you’re looking for a unicorn, it’s her. Don’t hesitate, just reach out. Thank you, thank you, thank you. S + M

“Thank you for creating a safe place during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I will always remember the good times through the birth, the sacred moments, the joys, the laughter, your smile, your motivational words, your hugs and you holding my hand through each surge. It really was magical and we could not have done it without your positive energy and guidance.” S & L

“I’m a first time mum and during my pregnancy I had only just heard of what a doula was and figured having one was the best option for my partner and I. Louise was prompt to respond to me and from there I had a good feeling about her. She was very informative and supportive all the way through my pregnancy, helping me through the process and being emotional support at times when I was a little worried about something. She helped my partner and I through a very quick labour as we didn't know what to expect. She helped keep the situation calm and was ready to take it on as soon as she came into the ward. Postpartum she brought food, helped with our son and helped me tidy where I needed so that I could rest. I would highly recommend her as she's very knowledgeable and committed to her work.” I & L
