Your dedication and compassion are deeply appreciated!
Ale & Ryan
"We were introduced to Diane when we did her full-day Pre-natal class. As first-time parents, the course was super helpful and left us feeling ready and prepared for what was to come. We were so impressed with Diane in this one-day course that we decided to take her on as our in-home post-partum support nurse for the first six week after delivery. In those six weeks after our daughter was born, she made the transition into parenthood so easy for us! She educated us and answered any questions we had, all the while instilling confidence and preparing us to be independent and self-sufficient parents. Diane was available via phone for any queries, and extremely flexible in the scheduling. Diane was incredibly caring and attentive to our needs, both cheering us on and also ensuring we never felt alone.
Diane is kind, caring and a trustworthy individual who is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and goes above and beyond for her clients. She is a wonderful post-partum support and care nurse whom we highly recommend. We are forever grateful for her support!

What our Client's have to say
Anousha and Rizwan
"Currently expecting our first, my husband and I took Diane's prenatal class at the beginning of our third trimester. Based on other's experiences and firsthand accounts, we had some idea of labour and childbirth, but not the whole picture.Diane was compassionate and patient with us as she walked us through the steps of labour, what everything means, and the different possible outcomes. Her expertise calmed our first-time-parent nerves as she informed us of our choices for delivery (home vs hospital), options for paincare and when each is most appropriate, cleared any misconceptions, and more.Diane's class is incredibly valuable to any soon-to-be parents, or parents looking to understand their options for a safe and informed delivery.Skip the Googling and sign up for this class! Diane is engaging, funny, and an excellent teacher."
