Tory was great. I needed help settling my 5 week old baby and she guided me and my husband with her wealth of knowledge and techniques. She made everything seem easy and with her relaxed manner she made me feel confident with my newborn. She followed up with phone calls to see how we were going. With this being my second child after a seven year gap, I now know how much easier it is having this knowledge, its priceless! Let's face it, a happy baby is a happy mother, is a happy family.

We chose to have private pre-natal tuition as a hospital session didn't sound appealing at all.  What a relief we did!  We found Tory put us at ease straight away and had such a friendly disposition.  All of our questions were answered and we tailored the night to suit our own needs which covered all bases.
I would highly, highly recommend Tory as there is so much value in what she has to say. All parents (and babies!) are different but everybody needs a lending hand at some point, Postnatal Angels!

Thanks again

One of the things we have learned about being parents is that, just when you think you're on top of things, they change. When our daughter Gigi was 9 months old, we started to become concerned about her sleep patterns. She was also having quite a few breastfeeds, and we weren't sure how to help her transition to fewer feeds. Tory came to our home and met with us to help. She explained some different techniques for assisting babies to sleep better, and answered our (long) list of baby-related questions. We were pleased to be given options rather than directions and so appreciated Tory's warm, reassuring and encouraging approach. 

Often new mums and dads feel that we should know what to do all on our own. But, while we both had lots of life experience when we had Gigi (we were old!) we were new at being parents. We're so glad we asked Tory to help sooner rather than later. Gigi quickly learned to take lovely long afternoon naps, is sleeping 11 hours at night, and is very happy and contented on 3 feeds a day. We are less tired, and have a new special person in the circle of caring around our little girl.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so happy I rang you!

Our 9 month old daughter Hallie was waking every 2 hours during the night and I was completely exhausted. Since your stay she is now sleeping 11-12 hours straight through the night.

Words can not describe our appreciation to you for all your help, you were so easy to talk to and gave amazing advice. Hallie is now a different baby, she is such a happy little girl, I get comments all the time about her easy going nature and people even ask me if she cries!

Thank you so much Tory.

My husband and I were expecting the arrival of our new child to be a smooth transition. She'd be just like our son, who was relatively easy to settle. Instead we had the rug pulled from under us! Our beautiful little girl fought every sleep and  cried impressively. We realised early on that we needed to call in a professional to help us manage her sleep and settling needs. Enter Tory, who truly is a post natal angel. With her friendly and supportive approach she taught us how to read our baby's tired signs and act on them quickly. She also showed us that each of our babies are unique, regardless of the fact that they share the same DNA. Her follow-up is thorough and her support is ongoing. Whether you're first time parents or going through parenthood again for the 2nd and 3rd time, we can't recommend Tory enough.

We contacted Tory initially because our baby was catnapping during the day and feeding poorly. As second time parents we were surprised by how much we had forgotten. There were new issues to face with baby number two that we had no experience with, such a settling a fussy, extremely over tired baby who refused to sleep more than 40 minutes during the day. We had problems with breastfeeding as well, and needed to supplement with formula short term, we were so happy that there were no judgements on Tory's behalf, just constructive advice and support. Tory's manner is upfront and honest, she is confident yet caring, and when she walks out the door you feel empowered that you have all the right tools at your disposal to care for your baby. I can't recommend her highly enough; I just wish I'd called her sooner.

"Our son Darcy was around 8 weeks old when he started catnapping during the day, he'd fall asleep for 30 minutes and then wake up like he'd been asleep for hours, but he hadn't, and he was cranky! We were constantly walking around the block trying to settle him back to sleep, letting him fall asleep on our chests, or rocking him to sleep, but with a 3 year old at home these techniques were not always possible and sometimes didn't work. If he didn't sleep properly, he fed poorly, and the problems were compounded. Tory helped us understand Darcy's tired signs, and taught us gentle techniques to resettle him when he'd woken too early. Within two weeks Darcy was sleeping longer stretches during the day, feeding like a champion and sleeping longer at night as well. I know my wife felt supported not only during Tory's visits but afterwards as well, and it was a relief for me being back at work full time knowing that she was coping ok at home. "
