Testimonial for Diksha Berebitsky
We have been blessed to have Diksha at two out of three births. Our first was born in the hospital with an epidural and no doula. Before we hired Diksha for our second, I was so nervous that I wouldn’t be able to “do it naturally.” From the first time meeting her, I could sense her wisdom gained through so many birthing experiences and felt a new confidence in the team we would become! She helped me through my hospital birth unmedicated, sharing with me her many ways of centering myself and relieving the labor pains (essential oils, tuning forks, soothing music and lighting, counterpressure, the list goes ON!). In my moments of fear, she was calm and collected, encouraging and loving.
When I found out I was pregnant with my third, it was a no brainer that we would hire Diksha again! This time, we planned a homebirth. My labor started fast and furious, and Diksha was there right away to help me with all of her magnificent “tools.” Then, it stalled for 3 days. What a terrible feeling! However, she encouraged me to not feel disappointed, and instead took time out of yet another day to help me with positioning the baby and to work through the emotions I felt. When labor started again, it was so fast that she was the only one who made it to the birth! Many might have panicked, but I knew I could handle it with Diksha there. She helped me catch my son in the bathtub that wasn’t yet completely filled, waited with me patiently for the midwife as we kept him warm and cozy, and ensured all was well.
I can’t begin to thank Diksha enough for being the calm in the storm that can be labor and birth, for her wisdom and knowledge she passed on to me, and for the kindness and love she has always shown my family. I now consider her a wonderful friend!!!!
