"You know you’ve found someone who truly cares for the experiences and needs of individual women when one of the first questions on her intake form is “what are you love languages?”

Bec is all heart- pure, honest, kind loving heart. She has the most beautifully caring instincts and is always open and honest, such a valuable attribute in both a doula and a friend.

Our conversations throughout my pregnancy always reassured and grounded me in what I already knew in my heart. Bec reminded me of my own truths and held me to them. She was my cheer squad no matter how tough and fearless I came across.

She gave me space to be vulnerable and this I was empowered.

At our “Birth prep/ contingency plan” meeting, she pulled our team together- herself, my partner and I, and we all entered the “full term” phase of the pregnancy feeling confident to the point of not event thinking about the impending birth. The time would come, the trust was fully in Me and our Baby, we would experience the birth we needed.

During my labour and birth Bec handled all the little things I needed so that my partner could remain present with me. My teas and tinctures were constantly topped up, cold flannels refreshed and replaced, the space kept tidy and everything accessible by Bec while my partner silently held me in the oxytocin filled dreamland, fully succumbing to what I needed to and unshaken in my power.

Bec knew that our birth was ours. She respected and deeply trusted that I was the one to handle things until I reached out for help. Bec’s complete absence of a need to “rescue” is so refreshing to me as a woman and a mother- the rare ability to self check one’s ego and honour someone else’s power and experience is so deeply important in birth and life.

She’s not here to save me, she’s here to witness me save myself and assist if I need it.

Our son was born into the crisp autumn air under an open window in our bath. Bec’s calm and sentient presence quickly shifted into an active yet peaceful Mothering mode and she truly, truly shone- gently and lovingly she listened to my needs and made everything around me the way I needed it to be in the blink of an eye. She guided us through what we needed to do to get me and our sweet little boy settled in bed.

Bec is born nurturer and such an attuned listener. She has the most incredible knack for lovingly asking you questions that bring you back to your truth.

She has held us so that we could hold each other, she undoubtedly belongs around women and birth and I hope she never stops bringing to the world what she’s shown me.

My gratitude is endless." - Rebekah
