Testimonial
I was very fortunate to receive postnatal support and care from Petra as a midwife working in our area. Our baby was having trouble gaining weight after birth. Petra went above and beyond spending additional hours visiting in our home and emotionally supporting me during a stressful time while providing endless expert feeding advice and direction to help achieve good weight gains for baby while ensuring our breastfeeding relationship flourished. Petra clearly cares immensely for both baby and mother under her care and her passion for breastfeeding is very admirable. We are still breastfeeding happily 10 months later! Morgan, Dannevirke
My baby daughter was just 8 weeks old and I was struggling with her spilling. A friend had been very pleased with Petra and the results of her treatment on her 4 week daughter old so she recommended her to me. Over the next short while Petra helped me with 2 treatments for 2 separate issues, each one worked well for my daughter. Petra took genuine interest in the well being of us both, taking the time to ask questions and offer advise above and beyond just homeopathic remedies, such as breast feeding techniques. Petra lives in a different town to us but made accessing her and her remedies easy and she followed up on our well being.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Petra, she was knowledgeable and caring with great advise and follow up.- Janelle, Taihape
