After a traumatic first birth during Covid my partner and I were anxious about going through the public hospital system again to birth our second son. Once we reached out to Cheryl it was an absolute relief to have someone not only with such extensive knowledge and experience but who was deeply caring and genuine.
Cheryl truly listened to my aspirations for my birth and helped me feel strong and confident within myself.
Once the day arrived my partner and I were calm knowing we had Cheryl to guide us all the way from labouring at home, arriving at the hospital door, navigating through the hospital in active labour, checking in and of course supporting myself through the final stages of birth.
Cheryl made sure my birth environment was calm, I was respected by all hospital staff and explained each step to me calmly as I focused on my labour. With her support I successfully achieved a natural calm delivery and was also able to check out with a healthy baby boy within 6hrs.
Throughout the labour Cheryl was also a constant support for my partner and also helped guide her through the experience.
I cannot recommend Cheryl enough to anyone who is starting their journey. To have Cheryl support and advocate for you through such a life changing time is invaluable.
