I have no words to describe how much Supriya helped me before and during childbirth. . . She helped me with all my fears about childbirth. . . She always respected what I wanted even if she disagreed. She also gave me access to many sources of information where I could search for areas in which I had doubts. And during the birth she was a blessing. . . She helped me navigate all this. She helped me ask the right questions at the right time so that I could make the best decisions for myself given the circumstances. She helped me stay calm and helped me with positions that made it much easier at birth. After the birth she visited me at home and did a wonderful massage. When I have my next son or daughter I want her with me again.
Doing the birth mentoring course together with my partner did not only prepare us for labour and parenthood; it also deepened our understanding of eachother in the process of ‘having a baby’. Having a very easy, beautiful and quick waterbirth at home and the most beautiful baby I had ever seen, I praised myself lucky.
Only to end up a week later in the worst emotional state I had ever been. Luckily Supriya and Roshnii prepared us for some babyblues. But this was next level. Supriya jumped in her car and was THERE. Having a profesional to talk to in those weeks, was absolutely invaluable and with her compassion and understanding of motherhood and life, I quickly regained clarity in my head and went on to enjoy my baby and life.
Also Roshnii, her support in the breastfeeding journey made a lot of difference. I now would recommend everyone to have a pospartum Doula, and reach out whenever you need. Those ladies definitely taught me that there is simply no need to struggle by yourself, but, trust, share and feel supported instead.
