Testimonial for Diksha Berebitsky

I would not recomment Diksha for doula services in a hospital. I chose Diksha from our pleasant interview and I enjoyed our prenatal visits. I appreciated her time spent (too much time as my birthing experience was extensive due to a 2 1/2 day induction process) which was very didcated in making sure I was not alone very often during my stay in the hospital. What i do not appreciate was her pushiness with the nurses and the tension with them. The final straw was when Diksha entered my room and asked the nurse to move me to a different room (without even discussing it with me first). This was after 3 days in the room and I'm all settled! There were other times of anxiety when Diksha would bother my nurses by buzzing the button frequently for unipmortant requests (i.e.'s a fresh ice water, a straw, a different cup) and I felt like she had the attitude of being better than the nurses. I finally had to say something to her because it was making me very uncomfortable and worried that the nurses would become upset with me and not be very helpful during the acutally birth time! I did not receive the 2 post pardum visits nor any communication after I provided constructive citisism to both Diksha and her back up/partner doula Emily Flynn. Emily was an unexperienced doula used for to gain experience in trade for taking and providing pictures of the birth. Unfortunately she did not take pictures of the birth. I have yet to receive the pictures she took with her camera. All in all, I am very disapopinted with this team and would highly recomment that you interview other doulas.
