She [Virginia] is a lifesaver. When I’ve had mastitis, which unfortunately happened many times with my second, she was able to help me with a poke root tincture each time. I am so thankful for her knowledge and help. She is kind and nurturing.

Thanks again for that awesome [Herbal External Healing] Balm you made me. I was worried sex would be painful, but it wasn’t and I’m sure its because I massaged the balm into the [episiotomy] scar tissue.

I loooove the [Herbal External Healing] Balm. I can feel my scar softening already! I’ve also been putting a little bit on the dry spots on my hands. They’re all fixed! Amazing!

When I started having some issues with my milk supply being low a couple of weeks after birth, I once again turned to Virginia for advice and she provided me with [the BoobyMilk Booster] tincture which quickly helped boost my milk supply, and I haven’t had any supply issues since!

We had the privilege of having Virginia prepare and encapsulate my placenta. She even went to the trouble of making some beautiful placenta prints and a dream catcher from the cord – they are the most unique and treasured keepsakes we have! The placenta pills were a godsend in those early weeks, I felt energised, my mood was fantastic and my post-partum recovery was fast: my uterus had shrunk right back down within a matter of days, and I only had minimal bleeding. Virginia kindly came to our home, picked up the placenta for encapsulation soon after birth and delivered it back to us within a couple of days – we didn’t have to do a thing, giving our new little family more uninterrupted time together…

I used Virginia’s ‘Boobymilk Booster’ herbal formula to help increase my milk supply during the first few months after birth, as I felt the supply had dropped off from the initial amount (ie. my breasts were not as large and full of milk as I thought they should be). I really struggled getting used to breast feeding, it was painful and not enjoyable. But I stuck with it and once I mastered attaching my daughter correctly so feeding wasn’t painful, the formula assisted me and my daughter to get into a routine where my supply was regulated by her demand. I realised you don’t need big breasts to feed successfully, my body knew what my daughter needed. I breast fed for 13 months and I’m really glad that I was able to give my daughter a good start in her life.”
I can’t recommend Natural Beginnings enough – the knowledge and experience Virginia has shared with us on our natural pregnancy, birth and parenting journey has been invaluable and we feel very blessed.
