My husband and I highly recommend working with Afshan. We did not use a doula with our first child, and initially wanted to work with a doula so I had support during labor if my husband was taking care of our daughter and unable to be there with me. From our initial meeting, Afshan had a very calming presence and was accommodating to make sure both myself and husband were comfortable working with her. I was aiming for an unmedicated delivery and I couldn’t have done it without her. She was very comfortable with the doctors in my practice and the hospital and suggested ways for me to advocate for myself and the delivery I was looking for. She was great support in helping my labor move along when it was progressing slowly, and helped with a hands on approach (and showed my husband what to do) when labor got more intense. Ultimately I had the unmedicated delivery I wanted thanks to her support. We were concerned about adding another person into our dynamic for labor and delivery, but Afshan was a great compliment to our team and her support never felt intrusive. We could not have done it without her!
