Briar is On Maternity leave
Briar is on her maternity leave and completely inaccessible via telephone or email from December 13th, 2024 onwards. Briar's maternity leave is lasting anywhere from 3-6 months after the birth of her baby, with existing clients receiving an email notification around the 3 month mark with further instruction.
​
At this time, Briar is not taking new clients or responding to new client inquiries.
She appreciates your interest and will gladly return to accepting new clients when she's settled into motherhood and able to offer the best care, potentially sometime late 2025/early 2026.
