client testimonials
It’s hard to find the words for the ways Abi held our family through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She was a golden thread that weaved her way through some of the darkest and most challenging times of my existence. Her words always landed in the right place when I needed them most. Her meals warmed our bellies and her presence warmed our home. She never once balked in the face of my humanness during a very challenging and confronting pregnancy and birth experience. Her calm, knowing energy encompassed the space and helped me to stay deeply rooted in my intuition. Our ability to be with women through such an initiation lies hand in hand with our trust in women and that trust anchored me during labour. Every time I thought it would break me there was a word whispered or a hand held that reminded me I was already doing it and I was not alone.
Knowing how to enter a space of a freshly postpartum family truly is an art form and Abi has mastered it. She bought the perfect mix of practicality and gentleness. We did subtle forms of body work that helped me take a breath and remember I was in-fact still on planet earth and she always left our fridge full for the days to come so we could just marinate in our newborn bubble and heal.
I will forever cherish our time spent moving through our biggest initiation together and am so grateful to have moved through it all with Abi’s support. A truly priceless experience". -- Tayla
