Recent review

My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy. It is necessary for me to mention that I (father/husband ) am 39 years of age and my wife is 42 at the time of pregnancy and delivery of our first born. We suffered two previous miscarriages about a year before a successful pregnancy journey. We spoke to a few medical professionals who were at best cordially sympathetic when it came to our painful journey up to that point, most felt the need to reiterate statistics we were very well acquainted with. Natalie was and is different. From the moment we met she was encouraging, engaging, informative, communicative and so much more. She listened and sought to understand our desires for alternative approaches to the traditional medical system. She prepared my wife with practical tools and exercises as well as the mental, emotional and spiritual support that gave us confidence in the completely natural and magnificent act of giving birth. The moment we knew we were approaching the early labor stage, Natalie made her way to our home 4 hours away and gave us the hands on guidance we needed at every stage of labor. She let my wife lead and listened and responded and was in tune with my wife and our midwife at every hour of delivery. She was a perfect buffer between us and the hospital staff. The delivery was an experience like no other and I am so grateful to have had Natalie by our side. We will be trying for another child and we already notified Natalie that we will be keeping her as apart of our team. You will not regret having this women as a part of your pregnancy, labor and birth journey
