Testimonial for Diksha Berebitsky
Being my first pregnancy, I did what a lot of expecting mommas do, research! When I finally asked someone what a doula actually was, I found out that they are there to support the mothers through the birthing process, from the early stages of labor, all the way to when the baby makes their first latch to a mamas breast. I thought to myself, well I will have my husband and my mother with me the whole time, so do I really need someone else for comfort?! The answer I later found out was, absolutely yes. Once I decided to be open to the idea of hiring a doula, I was referred to Diksha, by a lot of people I might add. Meeting Diksha is like meeting someone you’ve known your whole life. She is warm and comforting, she is also confident and very knowledgeable in her profession. Hearing about everything she is trained in and the resources she provides, ie lactation education, encapsulation services, beautiful birth photographs, and my favorite, in home check ups postpartum, I was pretty much sold. One more thing that really clicked with me that Diksha mentioned was that during labor, there can be a lot of down time, and for your loved ones that may mean that anxiously waiting which in turn can transfer even more anxiousness to the mother. What Diksha did during that time for me, was facilitate to my mom and husband how to help me feel more comfortable, like certain massages, getting cool towels and knowing exactly when it was time to head to the birth house. She also helped me with controlling me breathing during the difficult transition stage. I had a wonderful birth experience and I have to say that I owe a lot of it to Diksha and the knowledge and comfort she provided for me, even in the months leading up to the birth. We loved our experience with her and can’t wait to work with her again!
