Testimonials

You were a huge help and I recommend you highly.  My sister who delivered without the use of a doula could see the benefits. Your professionalism and dedication is obvious. You were by my side the whole time, and for a period of almost two days. Thank you, Katerina.

I have been thinking about you & appreciating what an incredible strength you were for me during labor (during the pregnancy massages & the supportive visit the day after delivery too). Brogan & I are so blessed to have had you with us. Kristi (first baby).

Thanks for being with us during the labor of our twins. You helped to make it the beautiful experience it was. I am glad you were there. The best of luck, Pam and Ed (twins).

Dear Greta, Please accept this thank you for everything you did for me. Before the delivery, all your advice and ideas and of course during the short stay in the hospital. You were wonderful. I am so glad I didn’t take an epidural! I also had a much quicker recovery. Thank you again, Dina (fourth baby).

Thank you for helping us to have a wonderful birth experience. To have you there was a great support to both of us. You knew where everything was in the hospital room and appeared with whatever we needed at the time. You have a true gift in being able to sense and anticipate what is needed during labor. We hope to use your service in the future, Christina and Aaron (first baby).

Thank you Greta for believing in me and making me feel safe. With you there I had the confidence to do a natural birth. You allowed me to realize I could do it, you were my epidoula. All our best, Lisa and Bobby (first baby).

Fathers about Doula support

Already during our first visit with you I felt a relief. Than during the birth you gave me confidence. This was the most beautiful experience of my life.

I would have never been able to do this without you, I had no idea how much was involved.

When my wife started to experience intense pain, I didn’t know what to do, I felt bad at first. I am so glad you were there to show me how I could help.

Your presence alone made me feel much better. I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to stay in the room, but with you there it just felt easy.

This was the best money I have ever spent.
