“From the moment Imren walked through the door, her calm and grounded nature put me at ease. Not only did she arrive with some delicious treats, but more importantly, she arrived with a listening ear. at a time when I was focussd on some clinical concerns, Imren reminded us of the joy and beauty of late pregnancy and new parenthood. Her postpartum planning notes led to some excellent discussions, and her follow up afterwards has left us feeling more prepared and excited for the weeks and months ahead.” - Kelsey
