"Wanting a natural birth, Bonnie played a huge role in making this happen. My husband was unsure at first about having a third party present, however after the whole experience there is nothing we would have wanted to do differently.
Bonnie kept me focused on the birth. When the contractions were very strong I would look at Bonnie and ask her how many more? Of course she couldn't give me an answer but the positive look in her eyes only gave me the strength to carry on. With her help I got to deliver our little boy just the way we hoped, if not better!
Bonnie helped with so much, from the massaging, keeping me as comfortable as possible, reminding me to move into different positions, through to the question of pain relief and giving me the strength to carry on without it- remembering my birth plan.
I would, without hesitation, recommend Bonnie to anyone seeking the services of a doula. We found Bonnie's services for the birth of our first child exemplary. Her professionalism, sensitivity, and genuine personal care made it all so wonderful. We would not have wanted it any other way- she is a natural.
The only way you'll appreciate the benefit of Bonnie at your birth is by having her there to experience it yourself."

"Michelle and I would like to thank you again for the wonderful support you gave us for the birth of our first son Xabi.
Your caring, friendly nature and understanding of the issues Michelle faced during labour, made us both feel at ease and we have no doubt that this contributed to making her labour run as smoothly as possible.
Having you on call and attending us in the early hours of the morning and staying with us till our healthy boy was comfortable in his mothers arms, was priceless. We can't imagine going through it without you.
We highly recommend any expecting parents, particularly first time parents to engage your services.
Thanks heaps, you will forever be a part of Xabi's existence."

"Choosing to have Bonnie as our doula was one of the best decisions we made in preparing for labour. She was a fantastic support throughout the whole pregnancy and birth. We very quickly built a good rapport.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. If she did not know the answer to any questions we had regarding birthing choices, she would always find out and present me with well researched and unbiased information.
She gave me the confidence to make the decisions needed to have the labour I wanted. She was a great help in keeping me strong and focused during the birth, gently reminding me of my birth plan and helping me to stick to it, avoidint the medical interventions I didn't want.
It was so reassuring as a nervous first time mother to have Bonnie's support throughout pregnancy, with her calming nature, and to be sure in the knowledge that there would be someone there with me my entire labour, not matter how long it would be.
I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone seeking a doula. Thank you Bonnie, for going above and beyond what we anticipated, we hope you can be there with us next time!!" - Kristie-Lee and Tim
