Shellie is a lady full of wisdom, kindness & peace. Shellie was great and gave me a lot of insight into my body and the birth process. Thank you xx
“Where do I begin to describe Shellie’s support in helping Sam come in to the world?! I couldn’t have wanted anyone else. Her whole aura created such intimacy and calm. I was in a hospital room but it felt calm and gentle and Shellie was such a reassuring blend of calm professionalism and wise friend. She wholly respected the incredible strength of the female body and I never felt she was interfering with my body’s transition through the various stages of labor. She created such a warm respectful atmosphere that even during the humiliating bits I never felt anything other than loved and that she was continuously in awe of what my body was doing to bring Sam into the world. She was intuitive but not arrogant with that knowledge. She continually listened to me and heard and explained my wishes to various medical staff along the way. She never put up barriers with the medical staff and us and showed respect and a cooperative atmosphere with them.
When I needed medical intervention at stage 3 to remove the placenta that wouldn’t come away, she looked after Sam and spent some of his first intimate moments with him. I hated having to leave him for his first couple of hours but feel so blessed it was Shellie he stayed with. She’s like the baby whisperer!
Calming, soothing and so in tune with the birth that babies have experienced. She spent time gently settling his body and continued following up in the weeks and months after with gentle treatment to settle and align his body. He experienced a bout of colic in the first couple of months and after one visit from Shellie, Sam never had another episode. Her gentle treatment had such a lasting affect on his digestive tract – he’s the most regular in our whole family!
I would recommend Shellie whole heartedly. She laughs with you, weeps with you, is the keeper of your joy. She has the wisdom and intuition and healthy respect of your and your child’s body and is wholly dedicated to supporting the beautiful privilege it is to give birth and support your child in those early days and weeks.
“Shellie was calm and helped centre me through a prolonged labour. She never left my side apart from short toilet breaks and that was a huge comfort”.
