I know it’s weird to review a place which you visited only once but I wanted to write about my experience while doing a second booking. I booked an appointment at this place for a post natal massage which was rescheduled multiple times. They apologised for the reschedule as well. Same thing occurred on the morning of the appointment as well and I was ok for the change. However due to reasons beyond my control I could not make it and received a call. I apologised about it as well and said I could not make it. I was asked to pay a cancellation fee which I was happy to pay. However, when I asked

I had my first of two induction massages with Sharon yesterday and already looking forward to returning next week. The place has a really nice feel about it and was just what I needed to reset and focus on relaxing these last 2-3 weeks before baby arrives. Sharon is very knowledgeable and has great technique! Thank you :)

My experience with Nurtured Birth in Osteo, Massage & Yoga has been so incredibly positive and empowering. Nurtured Birth truly has provided me with so many wonderful tools to assist me throughout my pregnancy and beyond. Even just the chats has done wonders to calm my anxieties and push me in the right direction of caring for myself and my baby. I feel so incredibly grateful to have had access to Nurtured Birth throughout my pregnancy.

Dear Sarah, Thank you for everything! You have completely supported me in bringing this divine sweet blessing into the world with calm, grace and complete love surrounding her. I am so grateful for your… complete trust in me, you really gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed to birth our second baby with you. I really feel empowered and satisfied with the entire birth experience, it was pretty epic! I still can’t believe we salsa danced an hour before little Eva Jean made her entry into the world. Only you could have made that happen. You are a true diamond in the rough and

Sarah and her team at Nurtured Birth have created an absolute haven for pre and post natal women. I was highly anxious throughout my pregnancy and saw Sarah on a weekly basis towards the end and after our discussions and wonderful massages, I felt a little bit more at ease about the journey ahead. I can't recommend Sarah highly enough for massage, childbirth education and general care & support. I also saw Melissa Abrahams for acupuncture and can say, without a doubt, she is the best acupuncturist I have ever seen. She was so professional, genuine and kind. If you are pregnant, do yourself a favour

Very disappointed with the service ... My husband bought me a gift card for a massage for 90 minutes, I only received a massage for 60 minutes and the other 30 minutes the therapist took notes and showed me some exercises (I already had an appointment with a physiotherapist, therefore, I do not need more exercises) When I complained, because it… seems to me that 30 minutes taking notes is too much they offered me 15 minutes if I paid again for an hour of massages ... in conclusion they wanted me to pay again a service for which I was not happy ... I lost my money for half an hour of massage

I have had massages with Sarah through both pregnancies and she is beyond amazing!! She holds a space for you to really relax and take time for yourself.
I also have seen both Lindy and Kate for naturopathy and osteopathy throughout my pregnancy. They are both incredible to work with. They all have such a gentle and wholistic philosophy.
As soon as I can I’ll be back at the clinic seeing all three!!!

This review has been long over due! Both my husband and I are extremely thankful to Sarah for being our doula and our pillar of support during the birth of our little one. We could not have achieved a zero intervention birth without her! Besides empowering us and giving us the confidence - her advice during the tail end of the pregnancy was… priceless. Sarah’s entire approach is based around motivating and encouraging you to achieve what you want without any judgement. She is a warm hearted person who has a really good read of her clients. She was part of our dream team! Not only does

For a first time mama, the road ahead can be a little bit daunting. Sarah is an incredibly warm-hearted, dedicated and informed doula who at every step helped me and my husband feel ready and empowered during pregnancy, during labour and after my son was born. I feel especially lucky to have had Sarah's support on the phone at home before going… into hospital and at the hospital when there were complications and hospital procedures to navigate. Throughout the labour, Sarah had instant rapport with the midwives and hospital staff, was caring, unflappable and was able to maintain a sense of

I cannot speak highly enough about Sarah. From the moment we met her, we clicked energetically. Throughout the whole pregnancy and birth, Sarah was supportive, full of encouragement and information. When we first spoke, I told Sarah that I wanted to numb every painful sensation during labour but after talking with Sarah and doing lots of research,… I decided to go for an all natural birth which I am proud to say I could follow through with on our big day. During labour and my multiple crises of confidence, Sarah held the space for me so that I could achieve the birth I had been hoping for

I had a beautiful post natal massage experience with Sarah! Sarah is such a lovely and caring person as well as a very skilled therapist. The massage was fantastic, very relaxing and nurturing, the best I've ever had. I also loved the attention to details: the smell, the music, the warmth... Even my clothes were warm afterwards as Sarah had put… them on the heater! The therapy room in Windsor is very welcoming and peaceful, as I walked in, I instantly felt I was in the right place. Thank you so so much Sarah, I thoroughly enjoyed my massage and look forward to seeing you again soon!!

I saw Sarah when I was 40 weeks pregnant and my baby was still not engaged. My Dr was talking about a c-section which I wanted to avoid.
After 2 treatments with Sarah I went into labour naturally a few days before my scheduled cesarean.
It was such a lovely experience meeting Sarah and her massages were great. Her calm and caring approach, together with her knowledge and experience made me feel very comfortable and relaxed.
I would recommend Sarah for general pregnancy massages, as well as the labour inducing massage treatment.
Thanks Sarah for helping make the last couple weeks of my pregnancy
