Testimonial for Olivia van Bommel

I don't remember every detail of my birth experience, but I remember how Olivia made me feel: calm, supported, and genuinely cared for.

Olivia guided me through the birth of my second child, my son, in November 2026. After developing pre-eclampsia just before 37 weeks, I was induced earlier than expected. She was an invaluable presence throughout my long labour and quick delivery—keeping me fed with snacks, making me laugh, helping me understand medical information, relieving my headache with a snazzy cold patch, and providing endless encouragement and reassurance.

After the birth, there were some initial complications that were scary for me. In those moments, seeing my husband's face alongside Olivia's, taking in their sense of calm and trust in the medical team, gave me reassurance everything was going to be okay.

Her support didn't end when my son was born. She has continued to cheer me on through WhatsApp during postpartum, offering encouragement when I need it most.

If I could afford another child—both financially and mentally—I wouldn't hesitate to have Olivia by my side again. I can't recommend her highly enough.
