Testimonials

 
Eleanor has been absolutely fantastic. My twins love her and I've gained so much from having her here to help me. Not just in help with looking after my babies while I get some much needed sleep but also with all her experience in how to look after them, get them to sleep, what to feed them etc. As a single mum it is great to have someone else to talk to about the babies in minute detail!

I can't recommend Els enough as a doula. She was amazing, helping me through contractions with reflexology and encouragement, and encouraging my husband. She was there to the end (a long time) and still met us with a cuddle and a warm friendly smile. She looked after me and my husband so well it was like having my best friend there with me.

Eleanor was brilliant from our first meeting, she made no judgement on my birth plan & requirements. She supported us all through the birth, gave me peace of mind that my birth preferences would be listened to during the birth and gave reassurance to my husband.

Having Eleanor with me as my doula led to such  an incredibly positive experience of labour. It helped resolve so many residual issues from my previous traumatic experience. I will be eternally grateful.
During my labour Eleanor was an absolute rock! It seemed she knew exactly what I needed - emotionally and physically - from start to finish. I honestly couldn't have done it with out her.

Thank you so much for your wisdom, love and support, for your strength and spirit, for your energy, for your presence. You inspired me to find the strength within to birth our beautiful son, by your constant encouragement and unfailing breaths of deep rhythm.

I don't know what to say except thank you. From start to finish you were reassuring, professional, friendly and good humoured. It wouldn't have been anywhere near as positive an experience without your guidance and experience....it was amazing.

 I achieved the labour I never thought possible, no epidural, no episiotomy, no c-section, WOW!  I know that I could not have managed this with out your support. You kept us focused and empowered me to believe I could manage.

 Thank you for helping us through a seemingly impossible (and very long) task, wonderfully well done. You gave us so much strength to carry on and to be true to our aim to have as natural a birth as we could.

Your presence at our big day made a huge difference to the experience. You kept me calm and confident which I am not sure I'd manage without you! Thank you.

I wanted to thank you for being such a truly amazing support during one of the most significant moments of my life. I honestly feel like I could not have done it without you. You were also really brilliant with my husband, guiding him into the best way to be there for me.

I can't thank you enough for all your support, help and advice with the twins. You have brought an extremely calm aura into our chaotic house and we will all miss you.

Thanks again Els for your wonderful support, Thanks for being my advocate when hospital transfer was being talked about.
Home Birth , VBAC Client, April 2010 (2nd Baby)

Hey. Wow. Thank you so much for all your help and support. Not everything went according to our plan but we have a beautiful baby girl and G feels good about it all and is no longer scared of more kids! We felt so safe and secure with you by our sides and it really made the experience far more civilised.
G & N May 2010 (1st baby)
 
I am quite convinced that without your constant presence, and where necessary confirmation of my wishes to the midwife, I would never have been able to achieve the birth that I wanted. Your encouragement and quiet words in my ear gave me the impetus and ability to continue to control and manage my emotions and gave T the courage and confidence to lead me to the finish line.
C & T, June 2010 (1st baby)

Thank you so much for all your help and support ove the past 24hrs, It really did help us both hugely and gave us more confidence.
Nicola, October 2010 (1st baby)
 
I'm still on a high from such a great birth! Thank you so much.
A & R, Oct 2010, 2nd baby
 
A big thank you for all your help today, I was really glad of your support when it all got scary! Thanks for being there for both of us.
Dad of 1st baby, Feb 2011
 
Eleanor was an absolute godsend!  When my baby was six weeks old I got very ill and really needed help with my two children.  I luckily found Eleanor and she came to help out which allowed me to get my strength back.  What was so great, she is brilliant at everything and is so efficient too; from cooking us all dinner, to a cake, tidying, taking care of the children and making us lunch, all in a mornings work!  The only problem was, it was so nice having her around, it was extremely hard to see her go.  Thanks again Eleanor, you really helped me out and I’ll definitely be calling you back if we’re ever insane enough to have another baby!         Lucinda, Summer 2010, 2nd baby
