Testimonial for Lana Abushaheen
I cannot recommend Lana enough. Before she joined my birth team, I was incredibly anxious. It was my third birth, but my first home birth. about my first home birth. Knowing I had someone whose only job was to support me—someone who truly understood every stage of labor and birth—gave me so much peace of mind.
Even though this was my third birth, every birth is different. Having Lana by my side made the process so much less overwhelming and far less scary. She guided me through every stage and helped me feel empowered throughout the experience. She shared resources with me when I had to make some decisions to help guide me.
Throughout my pregnancy and labor, Lana checked in with me often, making sure I was comfortable with every decision and everything that was happening. It felt less like working with a professional and more like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about supporting me mentally and physically.
During labor, she was so in tune with my body, my emotions, and what I needed. She knew when to encourage me, when to reassure me, and when to simply be present. Her calm, compassionate support made such a difference and gave me confidence through every stage of labor.
When labor started I had some more fears and doubt coming up. I didn't even have to say anything—Lana could sense what I was feeling. She gently helped me work through my fears with reassurance and encouragement exactly when I needed it.
I'm so grateful for her care and support, and I truly feel like I've gained an invaluable friend. If you're considering hiring a doula, I can't recommend it enough. Having Lana at my birth made my experience more peaceful, supported, and empowering than I ever imagined.
