“I was so nervous leaving the hospital with my first baby, but arriving at The Haven felt like a warm embrace. Vicki’s expert guidance and the serene environment allowed me to truly rest and bond with my little one.”
Walking into The Haven felt like taking a deep breath. Vicki welcomed me with a cup of tea, took the time to get to know my daughter’s little personality, and created the most peaceful space for us both. I was able to relax on the couch while she listened and guided me through everything I had been struggling with. Across the day Vicki supported us through two naps and two settling routines, showing me step by step how to gently help my daughter sleep. She treated her as if she were her own, and my daughter was completely at ease in her arms, which isn’t always the case! Over a delicious lunch, Vicki continued to interact with my daughter and made the whole day feel warm, personal, and nurturing. Having that hands-on, full-day experience at the haven made all the difference, it wasn’t just advice, it was an opportunity to see and feel the changes in real time. It truly was a haven in every sense of the word Papamoa NZ

“The nourishment, both through the meals and the specialized care, at The Haven was exactly what I needed. I returned home feeling confident and empowered in my new role as a parent.”
I honestly can’t thank Vicki enough for the on going support, I went to vicky With my 3month old who was struggling with sleep ( would only sleep on me), crying, hated her car seat and Pram and wouldn’t settle with her her dad. After spending a day in the beautiful Haven woth getting in 3 settles with Vicki my daughter has been super settled, falls asleep in the car now and loves the Pram 🥰 Vicki taught us the most beautiful/gentle way to settle and it definitely works. Now my daughter if happy for her dad to put her to sleep and her nana too! The haven is a beautiful place felt just like home ♥️ thank you so so much Vicki I can’t thank you enough and I’m always telling people about you and Joe amazing you are! X Mama waihi BOP

Who: Vicki K specialises in complex sleep struggles and unsettled babies, offering a holistic, wraparound support that not only provides life-changing advice and tools from her many, many years of service, but that also aims to uplift parents to believe in themselves, too. Why: Maternal (and paternal!) mental health is often impacted by lack of sleep, tools & support and my family has personally had our lives changed by her care. When I was recommended Vicki by friends, I was drowning and exhausted from treading water from next to no sleep for nearly a year with Oscar who was also struggling with mouth ties, severe digestion issues and colic. I was a shell of a person and she wrapped us up so warmly and connected our family to endless resources and new ways of doing old things life is so different now.
