Vera was incredibly thoughtful and caring towards me and my children. I quickly bonded with her; she felt like a beloved aunt visiting to check on us. Her warm and cheerful personality, coupled with her extensive knowledge and experience, provided immense support during the challenging first six weeks with a newborn. She made me feel safe and supported. I highly recommend Vera to anyone in need of midwife care!!

Vera was an incredible support during my postpartum care. Her warmth and approachability made it easy for me to ask questions, and her extensive knowledge was invaluable as a first-time mom. Thanks to her expertise, I gained the confidence I needed to care for my newborn, and breastfeeding became much easier. I wholeheartedly recommend Vera to anyone seeking midwifery care—she felt like a wise and trusted family member, offering thoughtful advice and guidance every step of the way.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Vera as a part of our post partum team this past year. Vera took time to get to know our family. With her experience and nurturing presence, Vera provided us with the utmost care and support during our post partum phase.

We are so thankful that Vera provided home visits early on as this truly provided family centered care. She also took every opportunity to support and encourage our baby feeding journey. The care Vera provided to our family will truly never be forgotten.

If you have a chance to welcome Vera as a member of your post partum team you truly will be in excellent hands.

Vera is such a beautiful soul. She was taking care of my early pregnancy and then she was my postpartum midwife. Was beautiful that she was coming at home for the visits since I had c-section, she made my postpartum easier. She always took time to connect with me and my husband. I had great experience with her 🌸

Vera was instrumental in helping me to achieve my goal of exclusively breastfeeding my son. Her warm and calming presence combined with her extensive post partum and breast feeding knowledge helped me to feel confident. She guided and supported me every step of the way on how to comfortably breastfeed my baby. She also connected my husband and I with excellent and helpful resources to ease our transition into parenthood and support our son’s development through the years to come. We feel incredibly blessed to have met Vera and are ever grateful for her support.

We have had a chance to spent about year with this amazing people and I wish we could have more time. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend to anyone who would like to understand the way of giving a birth to contact them. Every step you take is yours and you get all the explanation and information to make the best decision. The honesty and professionalism are just few of many great qualities which you will experience. Our baby had almost 4kg and over 50cm and was born natural way thanks to Vera and Erica. Wish you all the best and thank you for everything. Martina, Adam and Emma

Vera has such a thorough approach to the whole process, all the details, procedures and protocols. She is soft and nice and will definitely make you feel welcomed and taken care of. Safety is her priority. I feel grateful for the experience with her as our midwife. The choice was tough, so many options around. She truly loves what she does and it's always a huge pleasure to work with a professional. Thank you so very much, Vera!

Review from second pregnancy 2020:
This is my second pregnancy with Vera and first with her be colleague Erika. I'm very satisfied with the care I received. Vera continues to amaze me with her level of care. She is so very careful and will always recommend a pathway that ensures being safe rather than sorry. I am pleased with Erika as a teammate for Vera. Both are very knowledgeable and compliment each other well. Vera has a wealth of experience and Erika is closer to knowledge from school. Vera has a soft approach and Erika is more direct. I find both approaches valuable and complimentary. I had a home birth successfully and felt entirely supported and confident in Erika's care. Prenatal and postpartum support was thorough. I found in talking to friends who also had midwives that I was often quoting advice given to me by Vera and Erika. I'm not sure if they are more thorough as a team or if I just ask more questions as a patient, but I seemed to have more knowledge in comparison. Sometimes appointments start late but I think that it's because they will take the extra five minutes with you if you need it. Highly recommended.

Review from first pregnancy 2018: Vera was a fantastic partner through my first pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. She always found time to listen to my concerns and respond with an evidence based approach. She is an excellent clinician yet understands the importance of being calm and confident to have the best pregnancy and labor possible, and does all she can to encourage this. I can say that we developed a partnership though the pregnancy which really served us during labor. I had a home birth, and though it was really hard, I never once doubted her competence and the care I was receiving. During the labor, I never felt panicked or worried, I had complete confidence in her. She has also been amazing for the postpartum care. She does home visits which is fantastic when recovering from a birth. Her approach is both in tune with healthy natural care (i.e. using coconut oil for cradle cap, air dry for diaper rash etc) but always cites evidence which gives me confidence in her recommendations.
