Dinora was an incredible source of support during my postpartum journey. For 10 days, she came over daily to perform my bengkung wrap, and each visit was such a gift. She would massage me, provide a soothing foot soak, prepare a relaxing bath, and serve me tea, all while ensuring I felt cared for and supported.
Dinora helped me understand the changes my body was going through each day, offering invaluable information and advice to ensure I had a healthy healing process, both physically and mentally. Her tender, non-judgmental approach created a safe space where I felt completely supported.
She even answered my endless questions about my baby with patience and wisdom. I truly feel so lucky to have had Dinora by my side during those early postpartum days. Her care made such a difference, and I can't imagine navigating that time without her. If you're looking for a doula who will make your recovery feel supported and manageable, Dinora is absolutely amazing!

I had Dinora as my postpartum doula for the 10 day belly binding and cannot recommend her enough! For my first birth, I did not have a postpartum doula and experienced diastasis that made it difficult to walk around holding my baby without my core. I wanted something different this time and hired Dinora. This postpartum experience was so much better. Not only did the routine help with baby blues but it was very helpful to have someone who encouraged you to focus on healing. Dinora was easy to talk to and allowed me to work through my birth trauma at my own pace with gentle reassurance. Dinora provided herbal tea, foot soaks, herbal baths, and belly massage to help with uterus contracting. Not only was my diastasis corrected within the ten days but my stomach flattened out much quicker than the last time. Dinora has good communication, is reliable and is friendly. 10/10 would hire again.

Dinora was an absolute blessing in our journey into parenthood. Her expertise and compassionate support made such a difference in helping us feel prepared and confident as new parents.
Before labor, Dinora provided exceptional training on labor preparation. She walked us through effective pain-coping poses, exercises, and techniques to manage labor. While she wasn’t present during labor, her guidance beforehand was invaluable, giving us the tools and knowledge we needed to navigate the experience with confidence.
Postpartum, Dinora continued to shine. She offered thoughtful consultations on baby care, including how to bathe our baby, tips on breastfeeding, and practical advice that eased the transition into parenthood. Most importantly, she provided much-needed emotional support during this challenging time, always ensuring we felt understood and supported.
Dinora’s expertise, patience, and genuine care set her apart. If you’re seeking a doula who empowers you with knowledge and supports you wholeheartedly, I can’t recommend Dinora enough.

I cannot recommend Dinora enough! She was absolutely amazing throughout my entire birthing journey. During labor, I kept thinking to myself, 'How would I have done this without her?' She brought so many thoughtful items that I didn’t even realize I would need—like a portable mini fan, candles, and other little things I had completely forgotten about but made such a big difference in keeping me comfortable and calm. The massages she did were incredibly helpful in relieving tension, and she went through each contraction with me, offering constant support and encouragement. Her presence gave me the confidence and strength I needed, and she also reassured and guided my husband, helping him feel empowered and involved in the process. Her calm, compassionate, and knowledgeable approach made all the difference. If you're considering hiring a birth doula, Dinora is truly exceptional, and you’ll be endlessly grateful to have her by your side!

I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible support we received from Dinora during my postpartum journey! As a new parent, the nights were often overwhelming, but having Dinora provide night support was an absolute game-changer. She is calm, nurturing, and incredibly intuitive.
Not only did she expertly handle baby care, but she also provided emotional support, ensuring I felt rested and reassured. Her knowledge and experience were evident in every interaction, from helping with breastfeeding to offering gentle advice on newborn care including an easy way to do swaddle wrap!
What stood out most was how she tailored her care to our specific needs, always listening to us and adapting her approach accordingly. Thanks to her, we were able to get the much-needed rest to stay energized and focused during the day. I genuinely feel like our experience was made so much easier and more peaceful with her support.
If you’re considering hiring a doula for day or night support, do book Dinora. She’s a blessing!

We are so thankful to have had Dinora as our doula. We weren't sure we needed a doula because I was planning on getting an epidural but I'm so glad we did. I ended up getting induced and Dinora was great at helping me manage the contractions in early labor before I got the epidural. She clearly has a lot of experience and knew exactly what to expect at each stage of the process. She helped with changing positions which allowed my water to break naturally. Unfortunately my labor stalled during the pushing phase, but she was able to counsel my husband about what was happening as we headed into an unplanned c section. She was able to stay with me while my husband did skin to skin with the baby and she was essential for supporting breastfeeding immediately after the c section. We are very grateful for her excellent support through a long and difficult process. It made a huge difference for both of us.

Dinora is the best! She helped me through labor with my second baby, and I owe it to her for helping me get through it without an epidural. I wish I had her for my first birth experience, but I now plan on having her for all future births!! She coached me through breath work during labor, and helped me not get in a spiral during labor. She gave me a back massage when I was in the birthing tub, reminded me to drink water, set the mood by adding candles around the tub and coached me through pushing as well. The list goes on and on of all the things she did for me. My nurse also made a comment about how impressed she was that she did breath work with me and said it sounded like we were a team. I truly believe I couldnt have done it without her and would have ended up gettin the epidural if she was not there. She helped me get to my goal of going natural and I will forever be grateful to her!

From the moment we contacted Dinora, we knew we wanted her to be a part of our birthing experience. Her level of professionalism and experience was soothing as first time parents. Our meetings pre and post birth were insightful and gave us a chance to get through the details but also build a trusting bond. Dinora's presence and guidance at the birth of our daughter was a calming figure among the furry of the delivery room. She not only took care of me as a doula but also thought of little details that helped tremendously. We are so grateful for what Dinora provided during this experience.

I am immensely grateful for the incredible support provided by my birth doula during labor and delivery. Her presence was a source of unwavering strength and comfort throughout the entire process. From the moment I went into labor, she was by my side, offering calm reassurance and expert guidance. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable, helping me to navigate each stage with confidence.
She provided not only physical support but also emotional encouragement, understanding my needs intuitively and responding with care. Her techniques for pain management were effective, and her constant, soothing presence made a significant difference in my ability to cope. She communicated clearly with the medical staff, ensuring my birth plan was respected and advocating for my preferences.
In the most challenging moments, her calming voice and reassuring touch helped me stay focused and positive. I cannot imagine going through labor and delivery without her. My birth experience was profoundly enhanced by her dedication, compassion, and expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate birth doula.

Dinora was my birth doula for the delivery of my first child and was very helpful the entire time. She was especially helpful in getting me to breath and stay calm during contractions, gave me massages to ease them and also talked with us about non-birth related topics to keep my mind off the pain. She made sure I stayed hydrated and drank water after every contraction which really helped lots. I was super comfortable with her and there was nothing but good energy with her around. I didn't have a doula prior to going into labor and she was called in last minute to come help, so I'm extremely grateful for that. I definitely would want her to be my birth doula again in the future.
