Testimonial for Afshan Abbasi RN-MSN
There are not enough words to describe how pleased my husband and I are to have chosen Afshan for the birth of our son and to express our gratitude. I dreamt of a natural birth, and I honestly can say that I would never have done it without the help of Afshan. She was close to us at every stage of childbirth to accompany us, reassure us and help me overcome the pain. She knew when to suggest new positions to facilitate the labor and ease the pain. There were moments I felt she could read my mind. She was constantly calm, kind and professional. We would have been lost if we had relied solely on the medical service; Afshan helped us to keep a cool head and trust ourselves. One of the many reasons we decided to have a Doula was to have a human experience, rather than a medical one. My childbirth was very intense and by her delicacy, her respect, her patience and her incredible know-how, she really made this moment magical. She was strong and present to welcome our little baby, while being gentle and discreet to allow us to live, my husband and I, this incredible moment in complete privacy. We both appreciated her accompaniment which allowed for a very personal approach to pregnancy and birth, taking into account our fears, desires and feelings.
Her assistance went beyond our expectations on every front. We met with Afshan twice before our son’s birth and once afterwards. She also checked-in from time to time and remained available to discuss anything I was worried or concerned about.
Afshan truly does her work with passion and we were privileged to have her with us for this very unique moment in our lives and that of our son.
