We were very lucky to find Toni. Having her to support us throughout my pregnancy and delivery was the best decision we could have ever made. Our parents live abroad and with the pandemic and all the travel restrictions their possibilities of visiting us were next to none.

From the moment we met Toni my husband and I both felt very comfortable with her. Her subsequent visits to our home to prepare me for my birth were really helpful and made me feel confident. She was always there to help me when needed and is such a reliable person. We were not first time parents but still learned a lot of things from her related to birth that were new to us. She also shared with me some great food recipes :) (as I had some diet restrictions).  

On the day of birth, I was calm and assured and happy that she is there besides me. Due to restrictions imposed by the hospital during the pandemic, only one person could have accompanied me during my stay in the hospital and no kids were allowed inside the hospital. This made the whole situation quite challenging as my husband would have to take care of our other child. After I gave birth, though it was not in her contract, she stayed with me throughout my hospital stay and that was just like my family member would have been or better. She even stayed up at nights and took care of the baby while I was recovering.
After delivery, she continued to be in touch and met with us to help us through the postpartum stage. I am so grateful and would highly recommend working with her without hesitation. Thank you Toni for being there for one of the biggest moments of my life!
