Testimonial for Diksha Berebitsky
If you are looking for a birth doula, do not look any further! Diksha was everything I could have hoped for and more. I met with a few doulas to see what they were like and how they could support me on one of the biggest days of my life. My husband and I agreed that Diksha was the obvious choice. She has many years of experience and has supported hundreds of women through child birth. It was also important to me that she is certified with DONA and has training in breastfeeding.
We had two prenatal appts to get familiar with my wants/needs/expectations of birth and to work through birthing positions and exercises to prepare. She also has an extensive lending library that I took advantage of. All of the books were great and offered different points of view of the birthing experience.
My original plan was to have an unmedicated vaginal birth at the midwifery center at St. Joe’s. Diksha was there to support me through every twist and turn of my birthing journey. She was by my side supporting me every step of the way. In the hospital, Diksha was an excellent advocate for me. When I felt like I couldn’t survive another minute through the pain, she helped me change positions and try other techniques to help me cope. There was no way I could have made it as long as I did without her.
The postpartum visits were extremely valuable. I was thankful to have the help of my mom, but it was nice to have Diksha checking in with me and helping me through breastfeeding struggles. Because the birth was such a blur, it was helpful to revisit the experience and talk about what happened and why and how I felt about everything.
My husband and I are very happy with our decision to work with Diksha throughout our pregnancy, birthing journey, and beyond. I honestly feel like I couldn’t have done it without her. She is a supportive, compassionate, and wonderful person. I highly recommend working with her. It was worth every penny.
