Working with Noriko was one of the best decisions we have made for our pregnancy. My husband and I were expecting our first child back in March. We were lucky enough to be able to hire Noriko as our Doula. The stars must have aligned very well because Noriko accepted our application.

From the very beginning, Noriko was very responsive and available to answer any questions that we had. Being first time parents we had quite a few questions. Noriko was more than happy to answer.

During labour and delivery Noriko was very helpful, attentive and supportive. She knew exactly what to do during each stage of labor, pushing and delivery. Noriko was amazing at keeping me calm and giving me the courage and the strength I needed to finish pushing my son out. Just Noriko’s presence made me feel very calm and supported.

Postpartum, Noriko offered excellent advice and to answer any questions that we had for our newborn son.

Noriko is genuinely passionate about her work , and anybody would be very lucky to have her as their Doula. We are forever grateful and glad we hired Noriko to help us with such an important moment in our life!
