I loved working with Afshan and highly recommend her doula services!
My husband and I chose Afshan after talking with a couple of other doulas in our area. We clicked with her personality - we were able to joke around with her even during the interview and her knowledge was obvious. She's assisted in a staggering number of births so we felt supported throughout.
During the pregnancy I was so happy to be able to text any question to her at any time. Is this normal? Is that normal? She's so responsive! I always got a text back within minutes. It was reassuring to have her in my corner and I never felt like I was bothering anyone the way I would with a doctor's office question.
I appreciated the documents and training Afshan provided during our childbirth class visits. I think the GentleBirth meditations and her coaching really helped me acheive the unmediated birth I wanted. During delivery, she was our expert and kept both me and my husband on track. I'm not sure how he would have done without her! She also made the delivery room comfortable and inviting - dim lights, electric candles, music, oil scents. As first time parents we would have been lost without her. Many thanks to Afshan!
