"Evidence led, our weekly visits helped us navigate the early weeks of becoming parents. The food was healthy and nourishing, and was generous enough to cover two dinners and lunch!"

"It helped us get through the first few difficult weeks, leaving us feeling much more empowered. Georgie is a fantastic cook, lovely person who took good care of me and my baby, and was always happy to share tips from her own experience. Simply knowing that she would come over and we'd have some help and company felt very reassuring."

"I’m so glad I took the leap and booked 10 sessions with Fill Your Cup! I’ve always found it difficult to ask/seek out help for myself but for some reason this felt like a safe place to start. They helped remind me that my self care should be a priority at such a busy time for our family, and for this I am very grateful"

"Cannot recommend FYC more to new mamas! FYC provided both practical and emotional support and most of all, camaraderie and a sense of not being alone in this new season of life. In fact, FYC created a really sacred space for me to soak up motherhood with my littlest love which I am so grateful for."

"I cannot thank these beautiful ladies enough, this is my third child and nothing braces your for that fourth trimester even though you have been through it before.
If there is one thing I can recommend to plan for after having your baby, definitely get a Fill Your Cup doula these ladies are amazing and know exactly what to do to help "

"Fill Your Cup is a godsend for new mamas! I feel like every Wednesday my fairy godmother came to visit and whipped up beautiful food and gave me the pick me up I needed. The only downside is that eventually it all comes to an end, I wish I could keep Renee forever!"

"I loved the help that Amanda offered me and the way she made me feel. It was so great having a meal cooked but it was also so lovely for her to make me a tea or offer to hang some washing. She really is a truely special person and I really cherish the connection that we had. I will never forget her kindness"
