Testimonial for Anastasia Stryukova
Anastasia was an incredible blessing to have for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum! As a first time mom, everything was so overwhelming, & I don’t know how I would have given birth without her amazing doula support. She is an intentional listener who takes the time to hear you out, answer all your questions, & will do everything in her power to support what YOU want for your birth. She thoroughly explained the many ways birth can go, making sure I was aware of my choices & preparing me on what to expect in different scenarios. She was always very responsive in text & communication. My birth did not go according to the plan I had made, & Anastasia was essential in helping me navigate the change of plans & make informed decisions. During my induced & unmedicated labor, she was the steady anchor that kept me grounded. I don’t know how I would have given birth without her! She stuck with me from early labor, gently guiding me in the positions that I needed to be in, encouraging rest, nourishment, helping me use the tens unit, reminding me to relax and breathe, and reminding the nurses of my preferences. When things got intense & I felt like I could no longer keep going, she told me I could, her encouragement at every breaking point was everything. In labor, your mind enters another universe, & having a steady professional guide there to help with position changes, tools & coping mechanisms, pain management, laboring locations, etc made a world of a difference! Anastasia was the consistent & positive grounding force that held me together for 17 hours. She honored my wishes & took pictures & videos throughout, all the while caring for me & telling me exactly what I needed to hear to keep going. Anastasia will respect you and your wishes, keep you informed, protect your rights, and support you in your birth in whatever way you need. I could not recommend her enough!
