Testimonials
Justine was a huge help throughout our pregnancy and prenatal journey, she was always there for guidance and advice.
We are incredibly grateful for the support and care provided by Justine during labour. Her presence brought a sense of calm and reassurance that was truly invaluable. Not only did she capture the beautiful moments of our journey through her photography; but her expertise in applying pressure points significantly reduced the pain and her knowledge of spinning babies helped with positioning and progressing the labour. She helped create a relaxed and soothing environment, allowing us to focus on welcoming our baby into the world.
We couldn’t have asked for a better support person in this experience. Thank you, Justine, for everything you did for our family.

We received a lot of feedback from friends about the use of doulas in childbirth. Most of our friends, who didn’t have doulas, believed they were unnecessary. However, those who did have doulas said it was worth it. Based on this mixed advice, we decided to go ahead with doula support for the birth of our child, a decision we now consider invaluable.
Justine was not just professional and supportive; she was an advocate for our birth preferences, ensuring our voices were heard amidst the medical team. Her expertise was particularly evident in anticipating important steps in the birth process, filling in gaps that were occasionally overlooked by medical staff. This proactive approach led to a smooth birth experience.
​
Her presence provided a sense of calm and reassurance, which was crucial considering the very sparse and intermittent presence of doctors and nurses during a 12+ hour labor and delivery process. As first-time parents, her continuous support and insightful guidance was fundamental in providing us comfort and confidence during this pivotal moment in our lives. Reflecting on our experience, it’s impossible to imagine going through childbirth without the invaluable support of our doulas.
For anyone uncertain about this service, I urge you to consider it seriously. I will recommend them to every expectant parent I know.

Justine was with us and provided gentle, loving & intuitive support and encouragement throughout labour.
​
When I needed hands on support she was there without having to ask and gave space when I asked for it. In fact, sometimes I couldn’t even tell she was there she was so quiet!
We’re very grateful to have had Justine as our doula to walk beside us throughout pregnancy and birth.

All my friends said they wished they had a doula. I wasn’t going to regret not getting one. Justine facilitated the most informed and supportive pregnancy and birth experience. Having her on our team to help answer questions and concerns and be supportive when emotions and hormones are all over the place was the most amazing.

When it came to my birth, Justine was there for us! We could not imagine what our birth would of looked like without her. All the support, calming, relaxing environment. Having someone to support me and my partner was everything.
Our birth did not go as planned but with Justine’s help, it remained positive and she help us advocate for ourselves to take the time to get composed and make informed decisions that were right for us! We will recommend her to every pregnant woman who will listen. We also will use her for our second child! A holistic approach to child birth with positive birth experience is what I got out of it and am so proud of my birth because of her help! Thank you Justine.

We were so fortunate to have Justine for the birth of our son in August 2023. Justine was with us during a long labor, and gave us so much reassurance and support throughout pregnancy, but we felt so extremely fortunate to have her there during a difficult birth. She helped us create a birth plan, advocate for what we wanted, navigate and make quick decisions that were best for us when we needed to, and gave us so much peace, comfort, and support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Both my husband and I would very strongly recommend Justine- the love she has for this job shines through in everything she does.
Justine, we appreciate everything you’ve done for our little family more than we can say. Thank you for your love and support in bringing our son into the world.
Leading up to my son’s birth, Justine provided much needed reassurance along with education to help me and my partner make informed decisions regarding our care. She was always available to answer our questions and help us both feel comfortable about the process.
​
I ended up having a birth experience that veered from the original plan and having Justine there to help provide a calm atmosphere allowed me to feel comfortable and prepared to continue. In addition to the birth experience it was so wonderful to have an opportunity to ask questions about how to take care of my baby and myself post-birth.

Having Justine on our birthing team was such a positive experience! At first, my partner and I weren’t sure we needed a doula but I’m so glad we decided to as it helped us feel more comfortable and empowered with the whole experience.
​
Justine was always super quick and responsive to any questions we had as well as super knowledgable with her answers to those questions. We always felt heard and understood with what we wanted for our birth experience and never felt judged or pushed into anything we didn’t feel comfortable with.
Having Justine at my birth was honestly so much more than I could have imagined. My partner is supportive but there’s no way he would have been able to be all that I needed in those moments. Justine was so helpful with different techniques and knowledge in all stages of birth and made the whole process easier to manage. I’m so glad we decided to hire Justine to be our birth team. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
