success stories
“During my 4th pregnancy I encountered a lot of discomfort in the latter stages due to my sciatic nerve. I was fortunate enough to receive a few massages from Deb Warner on a weekly basis and found this to profoundly help my condition. Not only did it relieve some of the discomfort in getting around but also helped to settle and sleep at night which was just wonderful. I would highly recommend this practise to anyone who is in any form of discomfort but also to people who are able to get in before they reach that stage. Deb you are wonderful at what you do and I am so grateful to have had you available.”

“Knowing Deborah's reputation, my wife and I approached her to learn about active birth. Through Deborah's clear teaching, sensitive listening, insightful questioning and wise reference to appropriate literature, my wife and I prepared for the birth of our third child. Over time, we became so appreciative of Deborah's wisdom, sensitivity and strength that we asked her to act as support person in the birth of our daughter at St. George Hospital Birth Centre. Deborah conducted herself in this very personal role with tact, warmth and intelligence - for which we will always be grateful.”

“Dear Deb,
Just a note to say I have been doing a lot of thinking about the labor and birth of No."2" which has reminded me so much of Tahlee's birth and your involvement, your commitment, attitude and support. I just wanted to say again a huge "Thank You" for what you did, and how much I appreciate your willingness to go through it all again with me (us). It really means a lot, and I am looking forward to doing it all again with much positiveness and encouragement knowing you are happy to support us both again.
With much appreciation and admiration,
Love Carolyn and Darryl”
(Deborah supported Carolyn and Darryl at the birth of their first daughter Tahlee, and this was written shortly before Deb supported them again at their second birth.)
“Deborah Warner was present at the birth of my third child in April, 1999. I chose a natural birth after having two not-so-pleasant forceps deliveries. Deborah was my primary support, working alongside my husband.
My husband and I met with Deb many times prior to the delivery of my baby. I always felt comfortable and assured with her explanations of a natural birth. I was convinced it was right for me to experience a natural childbirth and Deb confirmed it.
The delivery was 10 hours from start to finish with 8 hours in the Birth Centre at St George Hospital at Kogarah in Sydney. Deb worked beautifully (this is how I can best explain it). She was a quiet, comforting and physically needed presence. She worked very well with my husband, not taking his role from him but letting him know what I needed.
They fetched ice packs, heat bags, and helped me in and out of the bath. She knew what I needed at the right time. I can honestly say that my natural childbirth experience would not have been as comfortable if I had only relied on nursing staff; however, the midwife did deliver my baby safely without a doctor (credit to her). Deb was by my side the whole time in the hospital. She has a gentle and confident manner. I recommend her to anyone wanting to experience the joy of natural childbirth.”

“Thank you so much for your help Deb. It’s difficult to stay motivated for my busy exercise training regime when my muscles ache and tighten. Your massages allow my body and muscles to recover quickly so I can bounce straight back into it. They have been essential in attaining maximum results both physically and mentally. Your massages make me feel revitalized and my range of motion and flexibility have increased – it’s definitely worth it for my health and well being.”
