Testimonial for Diksha Berebitsky
We are completely amazed by the assistance that Diksha has provided us on every step of our journey of parenthood. Diksha's help was also invaluable during my labor and delivery. She instantly created a more pleasant environment in the hospital, reassured me that the warm tub was waiting, and she showed my husband how to sooth me. Throughout my labor, she made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed, which helped tremendously with my pain management. Crucially, she was alert to decision-making moments. In each such moment, Diksha served as an invaluable, intelligent, and compassionate advocate. She helped us avoid a vacuum extraction by instructing me to push my baby out before the midwife had time to get the equipment. I will always remember that Diksha's gentle voice was the spark that brought my little Dahlia into the world.
I am particularly awestruck by Diksha's postpartum support. She visited in the hospital and made sure I was well taken care of and had what I needed for healing. She sat with me when I felt devastated that Dahlia had to stay in the NICU for jaundice. After coming home with a healthy baby, I saw or spoke with Diksha several times a week. She brought us a breast pump, videos, and books from her extensive lending library. She had intelligent answers to all my questions and helped mentor me in motherhood. Diksha even fostered a friendship with another new mom. She made sure my house did not dissolve into chaos, I had healthy food to eat, and I had time to recuperate while my baby was happy in her arms.
Through her diligent efforts, compassionate soul, and vast knowledge of birth and beyond, Diksha has far exceeded our expectations for a doula. She has become part of our family. I recommend her services without reservation.
