What clients are saying:

Allison Welch (1).png

“I had an unusual and unexpected birth experience with my second son. He was born at 28 weeks and 6 days and he had a long NICU stay. I was so thankful to have Allison's support and since things didn't go as expected, I needed it so much more than I thought I would! She was there immediately for the recovery after birth and was able to foresee things I would need and to encourage me. She sat with me many times while I held my son in NICU and gave me the guidance and advice I needed. I can't recommend her services enough. My favourite thing about Allison is her very calm and warm personality and approach. I'm so thankful I had the support.”

I offer a FREE consultation phone consultation for you (and your partner) to discuss how we can work together. I’m looking forward to connecting with you!

"Allison’s calming presence was a breath of fresh air in a time that was both full of joy and overwhelming. From emotional support to practical tips and ideas in those early newborn weeks, Allison helped me feel confident and at ease as I adjusted to being a new mom. My husband and I cannot express how grateful we are for Allison’s support.”
