Mom & I Reviews

"To God be all the glory, for great things He has done!"
Sr Linda

"I experienced a wonderful journey with Midwife Linda, I have got the best care I have ever dreamed of during my pregnancy." 
Alice Mahoro, student at UWC 

"Right from the start, I knew that Linda would be "The One":  a professional whom I can trust and rely on, no matter what." 
Marilyn Sass

"Ek het met my eerste swangerskap by Linda uitgekom en het toe in die sewende week 'n miskraam gehad.  Linda se deernis, inligting en konstante hulp en voorbereiding  het beteken dat ek alles kon hanteer soos ek dit graag wou - sonder pille en doktors en stress.  Ek het nie een keer gevra nie maar sy het tog op haar sagte en menslike manier deurgedring en my sterker gemaak.  Ons probeer weer en sien haar binnekort weer."

"Linda helped deliver my 4th son, as a home-birth at her premises.  She was very patient and gentle throughout the labour and thereafter as well.  She made my experience a very pleasant one, and I would most definitely recommend her to any mom wanting the same experience!"
SV  

"I have not experienced Sr Linda's service as a patient but I've worked with her in the past.  I've seen her in action with simple deliveries as well as complicated cases that I would shy away from.  She has an unique ability to think on her feet; act quickly and appropriately and to apply years of experience to each individual's case.  Above all, she has a compassion that forms the foundation on which all her patient care is built.  As a fellow health care professional, she is an inspiration."

"Ek sou Linda aanbeveel aan elke swanger vrou daar buite, as ek net kon.  Jy kan nie vir beter vra of gaan beter diens  elders kry nie.  Linda is die dierbaarste mens met die mooiste hart en hanteer almal met soveel deernis, liefde, bystand (selfs na die bevalling) en geduld wat ’n mens net van God af kan kry.  Sy het in 2012 my tuis bevalling gedoen en ek vertrou haar ten volle om dit vir ’n tweede keer te doen."
Natalie


"Ek het geweet ek is in "experienced" hande.  Linda het my ten volle gemoed gekom om my baba se geboorte so na as moontlik aan my idiaal te hê."
Nadèl Steyn


"I am very satisfied with the service I received. Linda takes extra special care of you right from the start. She builds a relationship first before she expects you to trust her with the actual birth of your child. She not only checks up on your and baby's health along the way, but also educates you to look after and care for your little one. The after birth care and help with breast feeding etc. is priceless! She is always available to assist whenever needed. Thank you Linda for a very special experience!"

"This was my first pregnancy and from beginning to end Linda made me feel so comfortable and looked after me so well. She made the birth of my son so memorable and there was never a second where u felt scared or unsure of anything. I will recommend her to everyone willing to experience a home birth and I will try to turn as many moms as I can away from hospitals:) It was amazing!"
2014 July 31,  Phillippa Bezuidenhoud


"A truly amazing person!!  Our 4th son was delivered by sister Linda, and from our first visit to her premises to her last visit at our home, we received nothing less than the best care from her.
She was supportive and caring all the way and eased all my concerns with her patient and gentle ways. I will always remember the wonderful experience....our son Nathan was delivered with no complications and is a beautiful, happy little boy!  We've recommended Linda to close friends of ours who are under her special care too
Thank you Linda for being a significant part in the birth of our baby boy :)"

"The service Linda gives is nothing less than Excellent.
I am a mother of 3 boys and the care and support I received from my Midwife, Linda Lorette Niyonizigiye I have never received from any Gynecologist. I chose to deliver at Vergelegen Medi-Clinic. Linda come to the hospital, at the time of admission I was only 2cm dilated but Linda was there every step of the way. When I felt I couldn’t handle the pain anymore, she calmed me and gave me the assurance I needed. I held onto her words, when I felt like giving up.
I thank God for bringing her into my Life. She isn’t just a Midwife she is a miracle worker."

 "My wife immediately felt that she was receiving the best care after her first consultation with Sister Linda, our unborn baby was in the best hands. When it was time for the baby to arrive we went to Sister Linda's home and Laura gave birth at Linda's place of residence and felt comfortable doing it there. Our son Zachariah is doing great and is of excellent health. My wife and I wouldn't hesitate to utilize Sister Linda's services again."
2014 February 5,  Lance


"I experience the best care ever, during my pregnancy.Sister Linda took care of me, explained to me every step in my pregnancy and how I can cope.The journey was amusing; I received care, attention, moral support,advices and services I needed during pregnancy and first days with my little one."
2014 January 28,  Alice


"Ever felt like you've known someone forever, but have only just met? 
That's how I felt when I met Linda. I knew my unborn child & I were in good hands right after the first consultation. Every time I saw her thereafter, that feeling was reconfirmed and a friendship (shall I say, mother-daughter relationship) emerged. She always made me feel at ease, taking the time to listen to my concerns & answer my questions, being ever so gentle.  I didn't have the natural birth I had wished for, but with Linda's support and that of my family, I came to accept that there are certain things in life you can't control or plan, but that you can still be happy about the outcome."

"I heard about Sister Linda from a close friend. My friend's words were 'You have to meet this lady, she is something different. She makes you feel unique and at ease. She does not judge your silly questions. You just need to experience her for yourself'.  My husband and I then contacted her and we 'experienced' all of the above, with a touch of love, or let me say a few touches of love. She went the extra mile and always kept us informed about everything. Her contact with us was quite special and she added the extra special touch.  Unfortunately due to my special circumstances, she could not assist with the delivery of my second born. We were heart broken.
The best gift ever was a week after my baby was born, she emailed to ask how we were. I was in tears, because she showed much more warmth than any of the doctors or nurses that I have worked with.
I would therefore recommend sister Linda to anybody and everybody. She takes pride in what she does and goes the extra mile.  Thank you sister Linda, for your excellence."
