Karen is an amazing lady, she was their for my husband and I, nearly 7 years ago now for the birth of our daughter. Her knowledge, expertise and understanding of the many dimensions and human considerations about having a new baby helped us so much. Her advice was invaluable and we are blessed and thankful to have Karen as a wonderful friend. (Shona)
I first had the benefit of Karen’s amazing support with my first son about 2 years ago. As an expat with no family nearby, having such an experienced, calm and encouraging professional to gently guide me through my first pregnancy, and early days with a new baby was very reassuring. (Nicky)
