Silvie is someone we brought into our lives and never wanted to let go! My husband and I went into pregnancy as first time parents with very little support or knowledge about birth. We sought a doula for this purpose and admired Silvie's philosphy and extense experience before asking to work with her. She had such a personalized approach and helped us feel calm and confident on our journey.
She has limitless experience about every facet of pregnancy and birth. I have a health condition that considered me "high risk" and Silvie approached my medical needs with curiosity and confidence. She noticed my interest in nutrition and suggested foods and recipes that help build a healthy baby. She provided limitless resources for excellent practitioners (chiropractor, therapist, physical therapist) with whom I have since established great care. When I found out I needed to be induced as a result of my condition Silvie came over and educated us about all of the different scenarios and specifically how she would help us. During labor and delivery Silvie was our greatest advocate and confidant. She promptly arrived at the hospital and stayed by our side with energy, wisdom and continuous ideas for comfort. She was excellent with the nurses and took amazing care of me. I don’t think I could have had a vaginal delivery without her, with many “high risk” odds working against me!
Her support didn’t end at the hospital. She came over twice postpartum, continuing to blow us away with her compassion and wisdom. She educated me about caring for my first degree tears, my swelling and some nursing struggles I was having. And she was constantly available for support via text for weeks onward when we needed her most. In our last visit with Silvie she taught us baby massage, which we’ve been using successfully with our baby and love it! Silvie is a rare treasure and the main reason my son, husband and I had a positive birth experience.
