Testimonials

  • Becky

    Words can’t express my gratitude for Josie. But I’ll try. Josie helped and supported me through previous birth trauma, preparation for my VBAC, getting my VBAC, and also an unexpected postpartum journey. It was so much more than having a support person. Josie was my safe place. She was everything I didn’t know I needed. I felt seen, heard, valued, and most importantly confident. Josie believed in me so much that it left no room for doubt within myself. In my most vulnerable state Josie still managed to keep me grounded, calm, strong, and brave. I truly believe she was the reason I got my VBAC. I will be forever grateful.

    We absolutely loved working with Josie leading up to, and for the birth of our baby. I honestly do not believe I would have experienced the incredible birth we had if it were not for the guidance, preparation and support of Josie. It was the most wonderful experience for our family and for my own internal journey to have Josie's support throughout pregnancy.

    Josie knows how to read the room, and for us somehow kept the mood light and hilarious, while also holding space for the big feelings and decisions.

    Josie was amazing at supporting a not so simple pregnancy and journey as I was overseas, my husband was deployed and had had a difficult first birth experience. She helped me educate myself and create a wonderful birth map, was there for important chats, cooked up a storm and helped around the house while I found my feet. I’m so glad to have met Josie.

    I was lucky enough to have Josie come into our home for some post partum sessions, as I was spending long hours parenting solo while my partner was at work. I truly would recommend Josie to anyone looking for a warm, genuine, caring doula. She has such a wonderful calming energy and I felt immediately relaxed in her presence.

    She is incredibly generous and I felt very lucky being looked after by her. Josie was very flexible and adaptable in our sessions to whatever needed to be done or what I needed on any given day - including many hours spent with my little girl, who ADORES her. On top of this she provided invaluable practical help, nurturing and taking so many chores off my plate. Not to mention all the wonderful chats and debriefs - Josie is very easy to talk to and I feel very blessed to have had a doula who was so fun, empathetic, and who I clicked with so well. I always looked forward to our sessions and time would fly by! She is also such a beautiful caregiver, and I completely trusted her with my baby during all our sessions. If you’re considering a doula for your post partum journey, Josie would be the most wonderful help to any family.

    Thank you Josie, your support is so appreciated and you have been such a big part of our journey.

    “As soon as a baby comes out, whole world apparently forgets about the mother and start talking about the baby - whether it’s hospital, nurse, GP , your friend or your family.

    If you want someone to talk to you about your feelings, your health, your mental state (along with everything else) with zero judgments, Josephine is a doula to go for.

    With her practical and solution-oriented approach, she has answers to almost all questions that a new mother has in her mind.

    She is extremely professional, honest, caring, reliable and a kind person. This industry needs more passionate people like her to make this journey memorable and smooth for mothers”

  • “We had the most amazing chats with Josie! She was kind, compassionate and helped us so much in processing our first son’s birth. Josie was a key difference in our second son’s birth - she gave us the confidence for a vbac and we were able to navigate the post partum period in such a better way. My only regret is that we waited 2 years to do this - we should have done it so much sooner! I can’t recommend enough”

    Emily R - Birth Preparation and Debrief

  • “I booked this debrief at 1.5 years post partum. My birth has haunted me for a long time, but I was ready to let go. Josie held the space for me and pointed out things that have allowed me for a different perspective, to have compassion and see strength in myself that I couldn’t. Thank you so so much Josie, I will be forever grateful for our debrief 💛”

    T.H - Birth Debrief

  • “Up until 6months postpartum I thought I was OK about my birth, however, there were these thoughts I just couldn’t stop thinking about so I booked a birth debrief with Josie just to see what was really going on. Josie was kind, patient and just a beautifully welcoming human. I was able to unravel the true reason I booked the debrief, and since then I’ve been able to work on these things… I’ve been feeling a lot better and I’ve released some negative thoughts about my birth. Book a birth debrief even if you don’t think you need one. Just do one. Because the chances are you probably do need one. Thank you endlessly Josie!”

  • “10/10 would recommend Josie for a 1:1 birth prep chat! I’m 37 weeks pregnant and had been feeling nervous about the upcoming birth of my 3rd baby. Josie helped me to dive deeper into what was contributing to those nerves and I had so many aha-moments. Josie was so delightful to chat with and I instantly felt so comfortable with her and supported in that space.I feel so much more equipped now and at ease about my upcoming birth.Thank you so very much Josie, you’re a gem!”
