Having Ursula as part of our birth support team was the best decision for our family. As our pregnancy for our 2nd baby ended up being high risk, it became quite the mental hurdle leading up to the big day. Not to mention, having a traumatic experience with our 1st birth, I was very intentional on who I needed on our team this time around, as this was our last baby.

Ursula was always quietly checking in on me, remembering when my MFM appointments or NST scans were (knowing how anxious I would be going into them), and regularly seeing her to prep my body with Pilates or giving me the most amazing massages made me feel so ready to meet our baby. When it came to game day, Ursula met us at home when I was in denial that I was in the thick of labour, and giving me the most life saving massages to ease my pain - I honestly don’t think I could have survived without her support, and easing my husband through what must have been quite overwhelming for him to witness. I was able to achieve the most redemptive, powerful birth experience that I truly never thought that I would get. Ursula was always there for our entire crew, especially our 4 year old daughter, whom I was nervous about how she would be with so much change, but Ursula gave me so much reassurance on how resilient eldest daughters are (and sure enough, our girl took to her big sister role immediately and so gracefully).

Ursula was exactly who I needed in the hardest hurdles of my pregnancy and labour/birth experience, and I am forever grateful for the love she has given me and my family. You will not regret having Ursula in your corner and I cannot recommend her enough as part of your birth team!

I cannot recommend Ursula highly enough. From start to finish, she was an absolute rock for me throughout my whole pregnancy and labour/delivery. She was incredibly aware of my needs at every stage: physically, emotionally, and mentally.

She accompanied me to my midwife appointments and got to meet my entire birthing team, which made me feel even more supported and prepared. She also had all the equipment needed and was always ready for anything - make sure to ask for her tens machine. She gave me as many prenatal massages as needed in her massage space, which is absolutely beautiful, so calming and comforting, and her hands are truly magic!

Even during the four long days of on-and-off false labour, Ursula remained calm, supportive, and endlessly patient with me. During labour, her massage techniques and pain relief methods used were truly incredible. Her touch always seemed to be exactly where I needed it most, whether it was gentle pressure on my lower back or perfectly timed counter-pressure during contractions; her skill and intuition made a world of difference.

One of the most unexpected and wonderful comforts she gave me was foot massages—yes, foot massages while I was in labour at the hospital! I can’t express how grounding and soothing it was in the middle of such an intense experience. It was one of those small acts that had a huge impact.

Having her by my husband and I’s side made me feel safe, empowered, and genuinely cared for. She brought so much peace into the room, and I’m beyond grateful she was part of my birth team.

And even after the birth, Ursula continued to show up for us. She gave the best timely advice during her postpartum visits, always knowing what to say and what I needed to hear.

Ursula is truly one of a kind, and I’m so thankful we found her.

I feel incredibly lucky to have received Ursula's exceptional care, love, and support since before my child’s birth. From her soothing massages and expert acupressure during labor, to her attentive care for my needs, Ursula played an invaluable role in managing my pain and ensuring my comfort during birth. Her postpartum massages were particularly rejuvenating. Beyond her wealth of knowledge and experience, it is her genuine compassion for the families she supports that sets her apart. I will always be deeply grateful to her.
