Kind Words From Our Clients
Libby has a wealth of knowledge on pregnancy, birth and babies. With Libby’s help during the antenatal period of my first pregnancy I felt empowered to take on the role of motherhood. Then we had twins and Libby was instrumental in helping establish feeding and with settling in our tiny babies at home. I cannot recommend Libby highly enough!
Jane Yee
Twin Mama
Libby is the best in the business! Her knowledge and experience is second to none. She is passionate about her work and her positive influence always leaves you in a better place. We love Libby for her calm and compassionate approach. She leaves you feeling empowered, refreshed and more confident about your parenting skills. We were fortunate to have Libby’s help with our children and would highly recommend her to any parents in need.

Parents to Marco, Fox, Rocco and Cruz
I would highly recommend the team at Libby and Co. My antenatal group and I had a session with Andrina, their sleep support expert. Andrina was a huge help, really friendly and provided each of us some great suggestions for how to improve our babies sleeping habits. Thanks again Libby and Co!

As soon as Libby walks in the door you breathe a sigh of relief. You can have a good cry in front of her, she totally gets it. Solid advice, given with love. And she has everything in hand. Libby is an angel! If you have a new baby, you need this woman for her wealth of knowledge, and to give you a break. You can walk out the door knowing your most precious person is in the best hands.
