Happy Father’s Day to the dads who show up with steady hands, calm strength, and hearts full of love. 🤍

We see the important role fathers play from the very beginning . Supporting, protecting, encouraging, and loving their families in quiet and powerful ways.

Today we celebrate the fathers, fathers-to-be, and father figures who walk this journey with such devotion. Thank you for your presence, your care, and the strength you bring to your families.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Estherea 🌿

What a day this was!

After a few practice runs and more than one trip home still pregnant, the day finally arrived for your beautiful baby boy to make his entrance into the world.

And what a beautiful entrance it was...
Calm, gentle, and straight into the safe and loving hands of his dad.

So often, the focus of birth is naturally on the mother, but today we witnessed something truly special: a father stepping forward with confidence, strength, and unwavering support, leading and caring for his family in a remarkable way.

Congratulations on the beautiful birth of your precious baby boy. May your hearts be filled with joy, and may the years ahead be blessed with countless treasured memories together.

Deidrè, you were so ready to meet Lukas! Everything about the birth excited you, and it was wonderful to witness your eagerness to be in labour.

Women are so often scared of labour and childbirth because of the overwhelming influence of social media, hearsay stories, and simply our human nature, which doesn't always allow us to view pain in a positive light.

But as Sheryl Feldman said: “There is power that comes to women when they give birth. They don’t ask for it; it simply invades them.” That is exactly what happened!

It was a long labour. Your pelvis was incredibly painful, and the cramps in your hips were wild, making it difficult to bear down. But you never once said you couldn't do it, and you never said you were too tired. Despite the challenges, you were ready.

Esteon, wow. You were Deidrè’s ROCK! There are not enough words to praise you for the way you supported her throughout this day. We can all agree that all glory belongs to God. His mighty right hand sustained you, and when you finally held Lukas, the relief and joy were tangible.

Welcome, little Lukas Ezra Steyn, born on 7 July 2025 at 11:30, weighing 3.53 kg!
