What Real Moms say about Nelia...
"
Hi Nelia, Kathryn and I are doing great, we've mastered breastfeeding and now everyone sleeps through
the night so life is wonderful! ...I absolutely loved yoga classes with Nelia. It
was a fun relaxed way to meet some other moms-to-be and Nelia was a wealth of information.
Her background as a Doula was incredibly helpful as it made it 'not just another
yoga class' but a class that prepped both your body and mind for labour! Going into
labour I felt prepared as I had the tools and knowledge needed to relax myself and
work through the pain. I definitely attribute my quick easy labour to these classes.
I would strongly recommend these classes to any soon to be moms!"

When Nelia and I decided we were a good fit and that she would be my doula, I immediately felt a sense of relief. Although my husband would be in the delivery room,
it felt great to know that I would have the help and support of a knowledgeable, caring woman for the months leading up to delivery as well as in the hospital. And Nelia
did not disappoint! Even though my little guy came 3 weeks early, well before her on-call period, Nelia was able to rearrange her schedule to be by my side. She was helpful,
calm and reassuring. And at one point, her gentle massage helped me to drift off for a much-needed nap to rest up for the tough job ahead. :) Thank you, Nelia, for being
there for me! You made a huge difference and made a memorable life experience all the better."

Thanks Nelia for being there during my labour. It meant more to me than you'll
ever know. You're presence and massages kept me calm and relaxed.
You truly have 'healing' hands."

"
My experience with Nelia as my Doula was one of the best that I could ask for.
I am thankful for my good fortune of having her there during my delivery almost
daily and I often rave about how important it is, especially for a first time mother, to have an experienced woman there who is in touch with what women need at this
time. I experienced Nelia as a very intuitive and adaptable doula, knowing just the right time to step in and help and the right time to back away. She also took
care of all the little things that you don't anticipate during the birth. Nelia's
firm honesty and calming mothering presence was exactly what I needed at this time,
and no one else at my birth was able to fill that roll as my midwife was busy with
the delivery and my husband was taking care of the logistics of the situation."
~ Sandra (Mom to Sash)
"
If it were not for your support and insight throughout this Nelia, I am not sure if I would have engaged in this self exploration. You really gave me the nudge I
needed to look inside myself and look at what is best for me. I have finally come to a place where I am comfortable and confident about the choice I am making.
I am trusting my gut, my head and heart are clear and I feel elated by the choice and embrace what is to come. Thank you tremendously for your support."
