Amber provided some great induction tools for me, being 39+weeks pregnant. The breathing and relaxation techniques are invaluable. Amber has a very calming presence, and it was very easy to relax into the session. That was wonderful!

Navigating fertility challenges and loss can be overwhelming. I offer fertility, miscarriage and pregnancy loss support. I provide compassionate care and guidance during difficult times offering a listening ear, gentle body work and/or energy work to help you process your grief and loss. I am a certified 'Closing of the Bones' facilitator and can offer these sessions which can help you come back to yourself after loss and trauma.
From a mother who has personally experienced loss through pregnancy, I can hold your hand and support you while you process the loss, offer research and information, nurturing Bowen, Reiki or COB sessions, refer to professionals where required, and just be a friendly compassionate listening ear over a cuppa.
