Kind words from families I’ve supported

  • Zoe provided me with valuable support and guidance as I explored the possibility of a VBAC. Although we only met twice via Zoom, I found her to be knowledgeable, encouraging, and easy to talk to. She took the time to answer my questions and helped me feel more informed and confident about my options. I appreciated her compassionate approach and would recommend her to anyone looking for supportive guidance during their pregnancy journey.

  • Zoe was the best investment I made for myself and my son. She provided much-needed care, support, and advice for us both. She was amazing with my son, which allowed me to get much-needed rest and sleep in the first few weeks of his life. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Zoe!

    Pema Seely of Maidenhead

  • Zoe supported us for the birth of our second baby, after a tricky first birth where we were disappointed with the level of care and support we received within the usual systems. Zoe helped us craft a plan that we felt confident and excited about. In the event, nothing went quite to plan, but having Zoe there made all the difference, and allowed us to make empowered decisions within what was possible. She helped us to remember what was important to us, and kept the medical anxieties in their place. She stayed with us as long as we needed and was calm and encouraging the whole way through. We absolutely recommend Zoe without any reservation. We are so grateful that she was part of our birthing team, thank you Zoe!!

    Rachel Brier of Wooburn Green

  • Zoe was a gentle and comforting presence throughout my prenatal period as well as during labor. I very much appreciated her level-headed and balanced approach to thinking through all aspects of pregnancy as well as her guidance when I struggled to make difficult decisions whilst putting together my birth plan. During labor, Zoe was invaluable. She was a calm and steady coach who helped me successfully get through an unmedicated vaginal birth. I’m grateful for her support!
