I went into my pregnancy not knowing much about the role of a doula and how instrumental they can be in having a positive birth experience. My family and I were so lucky we connected with Daria! Daria is an incredible doula who helped guide us throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
During my pregnancy Daria met with me and my partners and helped us clarify what was important to us in the birth experience. She patiently answered all our questions, talked us through options, and pointed us to additional resources when we wanted to know more. It was important for us to have a doula who was comfortable working with queer & trans people in nontraditional relationships, and Daria was a perfect fit. As my pregnancy progressed they taught us different positions to labor in and also supported us emotionally when a gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia diagnosis caused me to have change my birth plan.
At the hospital, Daria was outstanding. I truly feel like I could not have made it through my labor without her – she stayed with my family throughout my labor and delivery, helping me find effective ways to manage my pain in labor through movement and breath. Her calm intensity and clear and consistent support helped me focus through even the most painful contractions. She made sure we understood our options each time we had to make a decision during the labor process and supported us in advocating for ourselves. She took beautiful pictures of the delivery and the first time I met my baby. She has made sure we are settling in well now that we are home with our newborn. I really can’t begin to thank her for all of the ways she has supported our family in a beautiful transition into parenthood.
