Client Testimonials

  • Molly arrived at the perfect time and brought calm and lightness into our home. I instantly felt me and my baby boy were so nurtured by her presence and practical support. From the delicious food to the kind counselling through newborn turbulence, it really became the highlight of our weeks. I love her non-judgemental and encouraging approach – I get the sense that Molly meets every family where they are at and really tailors her support towards what's needed. We will recommend Molly wholeheartedly to any family needing a little extra love.

    Beth, HTM Client

  • I can’t thank Molly enough for her support in transitioning from 1 to 2 children. Her planning session in the lead up was invaluable and made us really reflect on what supports we needed in place for the fourth trimester. Molly held us through 6 amazing weeks as we found our feet as a family of 4. She gave me space to spend some quality time with my toddler and my newborn. My toddler loved baking with Molly and making fruit salad and he really looked forward to our sessions too. Not to mention all the amazing helpful jobs she did around the house. It truly filled all our cups. It was a life changing experience having Molly support us through those weeks. I will always remember the beautiful chats we had. She would always meet me wherever I was at the time and listen. She also taught us how to better use our village to support us for our second baby. I only wish I could have Molly forever!

    Sarah, HTM Client

  • Molly, your gentle and positive presence in our home has been a very special part of our early post partum with 2 children. Thank you for all the delicious and super nourishing meals and snacks, for entertaining my 3 year old and cuddling my newborn so I could take an un-interrupted bath, every time you came. There is something so special about being cared for by an experienced woman in this period of transition. I felt a deep sense of care and nourishment in all the little details - herbs in the bath, calming oils, tea and a snack at my bedside, all without me having to ask. Not to mention all the odd jobs I did ask you for - nothing was too much or a bother. You made this process so easy with your clear and thoughtful communication. I can't recommend an investment in your services more highly.
