What People Are Saying

“As a doula Tess will hold you through your journey, advocate, be your cheerleader, wisewoman and friend. She will remind you of your strengths and work with you to reclaim your power, to meet the challenges that arise with trust and an open heart. As a pre and post natal yoga and birth prep teacher, skillfully shares practices to nurture and nourish you as you need, and holds space to share, connect and build community with other people”

— Laura

“Tess was a fountain of knowledge and support in the lead up to the birth. I’d already been won over, but it was in the birthing room that I felt her influence most. I can firmly say that my wife and I would not have had the birth that we wanted if Tess wasn’t there. She was just brilliant.”

— Svetlana & Kevin

“Thanks for supporting me through the transitional time of pregnancy & birth again!  It's hard to put in words how much your caring and accepting attitude helps to regain trust when needed. Your movement sequences are a treat for body and mind and it's wonderful how you spontaneously target the areas currently needing some attention that day. I feel like a newborn myself after every single class :)”

“There maybe aren’t enough excellent words to describe the support we received from Tess. Tess became part of our family. When “birth”day came everyone felt so comfortable together, supporting, sharing and holding one another. It’s part of Tess’s magic powers to make it not feel like work or transactional, but gentle, fun and loving. I was classed as “high risk” by the NHS, but with the support of Tess, I was still able to advocate for the birth I deeply desired and needed. Her knowledge and advocacy experience really shone through. my husband was a little unsure of the role of doula/ that it would make him redundant; but he now highly recommends anyone to consider a doula. Tess gave him a lot of confidence to be able to maintain boundaries and prepare. There are SO many other special thing I could write, like about the post birth tea elixirs she presented at the perfect moment, or the way we laughed through contractions; Tess is a total legend and if you are lucky enough to have her supporting you or your family - dive in.”
