"Josie came to help support me with breastfeeding. Having Josie come into my home with her kind, empathetic nature topped off with her inside knowledge of breastfeeding was exactly what I needed. I was crying when she first arrived, anxious and in pain. When she left I was relaxed, reassured and feeling more confident as a mother in my ability to feed my son." ~ Nat

"I just wanted to say thank you for your support group, it was such a lifesaver for me, and I got loads out of it." ~ Tam
Couples' Support Sessions
Having a baby can put a strain on any relationship, especially if the birth was tough. I work with you to talk through your birth experience and the challenges of new parenthood and how this might be affecting communication within your relationship. I facilitate the session with sensitivity and allows space for you to reconnect with a deeper respect and understanding for each other.
Sessions usually run 2-3 hours and cost $225
"Hi Josie,
Thank you so much, you’ve been truly amazing. Today was everything I had hoped, I really valued you being there to support us both to talk things through."
