Nancy gave me EXACTLY what I needed!

I have felt so nurtured by Nancy. The lead up to the birth, and then the actual birth. 

During the antenatal period, Nancy always made me feel so validated, and heard!! ...and capable! So so capable of birthing beautifully and naturally. (We did a homebirth).

And then during the labour and the birth, she read the energy of the room and Nancy gave me EXACTLY what I needed: the space to be everything I needed to be, and then stepping in at the places where she knew I needed her. She reads the most subtle cues with intent presence.

Nanc, the cool washcloth was AMAZING ...omgggg.

You gave me space to be, and just tuned into the energy of the room and filled in the cracks of what was needed - so beautifully and gracefully.

The most helpful thing in labour was really being allowed and left to be in my zone.

Dad says:
“The whole experience was fantastic! She was there every step of the way. She was able to cover topics that were needed on many different level. For example, the emotional side of things, for me as a husband and how to be there for my wife. There was a very multidimensional aspect she used. I felt that Hala was in good hands and it gave me a lot of ease.

There's a huge comparison between this birth and the first birth where I felt I had no clue what was going on. The difference is night and day.

Words of wisdom for a family preparing for labour, birth & bringing their baby home:
Trust yourself, give yourself all the antecedents that allow you to get out of your head, out of fear and into a space of love and trust. Part of that includes having the right environment, the right people, and the right services.

Resources used in pregnancy: I didn't really consume much, no books, blogs, websites. My main resources were my birthing team, a close intimate group of like-minded mum friends who had similar due dates, the homebirth Australia group, and YouTube videos of natural births (so I could show Alma examples of what birth could look like).

Do the fees reflect the service you received?: 
Definitely... I think you need to charge more.

Love Hala, Justin, Alma and Ezra
