Here is what a client named Jade Herrera has to say about working with Sonia:

As a first time mom, I felt anxious about childbirth as I have heard the horror stories from friends. Sonia helped me relieve a lot of the anxiety through talking about what is making me feel anxious. Choosing Sonia felt right for us. On our initial consult, I felt at ease with Sonia. My impression of Sonia was that she is professional, organized, knowledgeable, calm and compassionate. I appreciate that Sonia listened patiently, took time to get to know me, and would address my concerns. I could see she was passionate about her work, and I could imagine her helping me and my husband during a stressful time/childbirth. She felt like a friend that I could trust. In addition, I value knowing the evidence behind things especially when making health decisions. Sonia explained or linked me to multiple resources. 

Working on my birth plan with Sonia helped me to advocate for myself. Sonia was respectful about my decisions and cared about me having the experience that felt right to me. During my labor, the nurses at the hospital were ready to give me an epidural. Because this was not part of my birth plan, I was able to advocate for myself and decline. I preferred minimal medical interventions if possible.

Sonia’s affirmations were invaluable to me. She helped me to focus especially during the transition phase of labor and pushing - she told me to listen to my body when I felt the need to push. She stood by me, my husband, and the healthcare team. She helped position me and put pressure on my back to help with the pain. She took pictures of our experience for us to remember. She explained things so I would know what’s going on. Also, she involved my husband in this experience and provided resources to him too, which was important to me. 

My feelings of anxiety about childbirth lessened because I knew that we could find support in Sonia. With her help, we had a beautiful birth experience.

Here is what a client named Katerina has to say about working with Tanya:

Tatiana helped me to deliver my third child during this complicated COVID time. Our hospital permitted only one person to be present and I decided to go with Tatiana since my husband was taking care of our kids. It was one of the best decisions in my life! It is tremendous help when your support person really understands what is going on :))) She is kind and caring, knows many pain relieving methods. She took care of me before, during and after labor, so I felt much more calm and confident. Postpartum massage is just wonderful! Thank you, Tatiana.
