The Birth of Koa

“Being a first time mum during covid times and with all of the uncertainty of the world and family being unable to be around. My partner and I decided to book a prenatal zoom appointment with the beautiful Reneé. Other than being one of the kindest people I’ve ever met Reneé is definitely one of the most patient. Every time we spoke I just instantly felt at home and so much more at ease. Reneé provided me with amazing health advice and wonderful tips on how to prepare myself for a calm birth. Reneé was so helpful and my birth of my healthy baby boy wouldn’t have been the same without her. If you’re wanting to nourish yourself and your beautiful baby by giving yourself an unforgettable gift of a doula look no further than Reneé, she was absolutely incredible and I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

The birth of Tommy

“I stumbled across Reneé on instagram and I’m so thankful I reached out to her! My first birth was not how I ever imagined it would go, it was traumatic and I knew I needed help to gain self confidence to achieve my VBAC.

Reneé was caring, thoughtful, calming and so informative. I had many fears and doubts going into my VBAC and Reneé was always so quick to remind me that my body was made for this. She was so encouraging in the lead up to birth.

During birth she was amazing! The sips of coconut water & affirmations along with many other things did not go unnoticed. In fact, Reneé was a huge key in achieving my VBAC. Her presence allowed my husband to be fully present with me and not worry about anything else.

Reneé was a crucial part in my achieving my dream VBAC birth. She is so passionate and it was clearly visible when I naturally birthed my son. Both my husband and Reneé were crying which just shows how invested she was in helping me get my dream birth!

After birth she nourished me with homeopathics, a beautiful meal and even came to play with my beautiful girl for an afternoon so I could rest.

I’m on a total high from my birth this time around and I know it’s because of the support that I had. I will be recommending Reneé to all of my pregnant friends. I didn’t realise the necessity of a doula until I had one. I am forever grateful to Reneé.”

The Birth of Reishi

“After a traumatic labour with my first child I knew I needed better support the next time I fell pregnant, my hair dresser recommended Reneé and the first time I met with her I knew she was the person I needed…. she instantly eased my fears and actually got me excited for the whole birthing process! She felt like a sister, a friend and a physiologist all in one…. Anytime I would reach out to her with questions or concerns she would always know the right words to say to help me. She is wealth of knowledge on all things pregnancy, birth, nutrition, supplements, homeopathy and #mumlife. Whenever I needed her she was there, but more importantly in the times during my 3 day intense home labour she was also an incredible carer/soother to my 4 year old…. I will be forever grateful to have had her incredibly beautiful and generous soul come into my life and guide me through my second pregnancy. After birth she nourished me with her delicious home cooked meals and kind words of support and even offered to do housework and take care of my 4 year old so I could rest – If all mums had the support of a Doula like Reneé I truly believe there would be less post partum depression and anxiety. I should also mention the support she gave to my husband during the birthing process, she was so reassuring and kept him calm during the more intense moments. Thank you Reneé, from all 4 of us – we will miss you.”

The Birth of Juni

“Where to begin with Reneé, she really was the bright flower I needed through out my pregnancy & birth. Renee’s continued encouragement & loving support towards myself my husband and my son helped us achieve our dream (very complicated) VBAC. I can’t really think of enough words to describe how much she helped me guide our baby girl into this world during birth. 

Renee was not only an amazing support for me but was very present with my husband too making sure he knew were we stood through out the entire birth of our daughter, she made our options very clear and allowed time for us to decide.  

The one thing that will stick with me forever and I know it gave me all the power to get my head back into my birthing zone after my fear of what could happen, happened. She softly whispered to me invision your Ruey holding and meeting baby sister for the first time. My body completely overflowed with oxytocin every time she said this to me. It helped me block out everything else that was happening and gave me the fire to roar harder to meet our baby Juni.

Renee you are so passionate about keeping births sacred, forever grateful you did this for me. I will always treasure having you along side me whilst birthing my daughter.”

GAB – MUM OF TWO

The Birth of Winnie

“I find it hard to put in to words what it meant to have Renee through my pregnancy and especially at my birth. She really helped me see birth as a journey and it being so much more than just the event of labour itself (labour being my main focus as I had my heart set on a VBAC).

Her gentleness, passion and authenticity is/was always felt. I felt heard and she always gave me evidence based education. 

The way Renee held space for me was truely such a beautiful place to be in. Supporting me and my babe while we did the birth dance together. I remember her being with me in labour talking me through what’s going on and reminding me to deep breathe. She was never in my space but I always felt her presence. I always felt a sense of safety and normality. Not once was I anxious or scared about what was going on- I feel like my baby was truely born into love and not fear. We shared tears, deep hugs, the holding and the celebration. 

My husband said to me the day following our birth ‘Renee was put on this earth to do that job’. Renee and Lach were like a team that never let me down- tag teaming hours of back massaging. Renee set up the room, birth stations, helped me change positions, rubbed on clary sage on my back and constantly applied warm heat packs. This made my labour so manageable and easy!!

Renee has helped me become the woman and mother I am today. I feel like she has she same hopes and dreams for me and my baby and that their bond is already so special. It was an honour to have her stand beside me, hold space, care for me through one of the most powerful, important days of our lives. I already can’t wait to do it with her all again!”

SARAH B – MUM OF TWO

The Birth of Noah

“In the early weeks of my pregnancy with our first baby, I felt a little overwhelmed and confused by all the information available both online and provided by healthcare professionals. I wanted to go into our birth feeling fully informed and able to make the right decisions for us on the day. Renee was the perfect person to help me make sense of everything pregnancy and birth related.

During our pregnancy, Renee shared with us her wealth of knowledge about not only the physical aspects of birth, but also the emotional. She helped prepare my partner for the birth and the ways in which he could support me on the day. She was my person that I could reach out to on days leading up to the birth when I felt doubtful, confused, or just for those ‘silly questions’ that I found myself having as a first time mum. Reneé has such a calm, gentle nature, and when paired with her passion and wealth of knowledge, I always felt heard, confident and reassured after our catch ups. On the day of our boys birth, I was so grateful to have Reneé as part of my support team. She focused on the physical side of things like setting up the room once we arrived to the hospital, keeping me hydrated, applying oil and massage to my back – this all allowed my partner to fully focus on me. She knew every time I needed her to step in during the intense moments and reassure me that I could do it, when I needed a reminder to breathe, but she also knew when I needed space. We had a long labour, and she allowed my partner moments of rest while she fully supported me. I felt completely comfortable and safe with Renee, her warm personality makes her feel like a best friend or sister.

She continued to support our new family after the arrival of our boy, delivering healing broths and teas to our home, and offering advice and tips on breast feeding and nutrition.

Investing in Renee was one of the best things we did for the birth of our son, we are forever grateful for her love and support and couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for support during their pregnancy and birth”

KRISTIE – FIRST TIME MUM

The Birth of Kai

“Renee was so much more than just my doula. She was the girlfriend I never knew I needed throughout my pregnancy who checked in on me weekly, making sure I had the best support for both my mental and physical well-being. During the birth to my son, I completely fell into Reneé’s care, she knew exactly how to support me before I even knew what I needed myself. Looking back, I am in awe of how she held me throughout my labour. She was completely in her element and i am forever grateful to have experienced this magical journey with her by my side.”

HEANNEY – MUM OF TWO

The Birth of Micah

“Reneé has such a gift for what she does. It was amazing to have her support throughout my pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester. It was like having an amazing mumma friend who also happened to be an expert in all things pregnancy, birth, health and well-being. I always felt such a peace after speaking with her.

Words can’t describe how supported my husband and I felt having Reneé there with us at the birth of our baby girl, we still talk about it! The way she held space for us, allowing my husband to better support me, is something we will be forever grateful for.

I will never forget her calming presence and quiet words of encouragement during my long labour. I know my birth would have been different if it wasn’t for Reneé.

Everyone needs a Reneé in their lives!”

LARA – FIRST TIME MUM

The Birth of Sammy

“I don’t even know where to begin with my gratitude for Reneé.

Nine months ago I had no idea what a doula was or what they did. Now I struggle to find words to describe just how grateful my husband and I are that we had Reneé as our doula for the preparation and birth of our baby.

During labour she supported my husband and I intuitively, held space respectfully & was a trusted source of information. Reneé empowered us to strive for the type of birth we wanted and for that I will forever be grateful. She is the most kind and beautiful soul and extremely knowledgeable and her calming presence brought so much peace and reassurance.

From the moment we met Reneé we immediately felt comfortable with her.

There is no one else we would rather have be a part of such an incredible moment of our lives.”
