Love your skin

Published by admin on

love your skinEntering the plush waiting area,
the fragrance of fresh lilies
tickles your nose, and the
beautiful French wingback
chairs and crystal chandeliers wink at
you as you settle in. Baby and birthing
magazines, pamphlets and brochures
neatly adorn the table, while the tranquil
colours of the interiors (with just a hint of
bling) soothe your nerves. It is, after all,

midwife specialist Henny de Beer provide
exclusive, specialised, professional nursing
services along with their “team of
champions” of midwives, doulas, admin
personnel, a chef and kitchen crew.
Ob-gyns also play an integral part of this
