I could not have achieved the natural birth I desired without Diksha. Not only was she an amazing support pillar for me, she was for my husband as well. When I told my husband I wanted to hire a doula for the birth of our daughter he said, "as long as she doesn't take my place." And she definitely didn't. Rather, Diksha enhanced my husband's participation in my birth. She guided him and showed him how to help throughout my labor and birth. Afterward he said that if it weren't for Diksha, he wouldn't have known what to do or how to comfort me while I was in labor. With her direction he was even able to assist with the delivery! Diksha's support prior to and after my birth were amazing. Our baby girl had turned breech at 38.5 weeks and we agreed to attempt an external cephalic version (turn the baby head down). Diksha was with us every step of the way. I wholeheartedly believe that her support, knowledge and presence during the version allowed it to be successful. She helped me get into the proper headspace and comforted and coached me through the tough parts. Diksha's unwavering support didn't stop with the birth of our baby. She continued to follow up with us post-partum. After a rough start with breastfeeding (tongue-tie), a trip to the ER and a 48hr admission to the hospital, Diksha continued to be available to us and support us. I could not imagine going through this experience without her. She was instrumental in the birth of our daughter and I will definitely seek out Diksha's services for our next baby!
