Testimonial for Saphren Ma
I cannot say enough about our experience with Saphren. From the get go I felt a very calm energy and a genuine connection (even over video chat!) she asked lots of questions to understand our wishes for this birth and provided lots of options and information for us to look into ahead of time. We checked in frequently as the day grew closer, she was always quick to calm any concerns or answer any questions I had. The night I went into labour was fast and furious and although we were only at the hospital an hour together before my baby was born, I truly couldn't have imagined her not being there! She was a calming presence and even though it was the first time we met in person, I instantly felt safe and supported. I vividly remember her saying "you're in transition, so close now" at the exact moment I was feeling that transition anxiety. It was what I needed to hear to keep going. Even though we didn't get deep into her bag of tricks, as this baby came fast, her being right there for me (quickly setting up the room with candles and lowering the lights, providing counter pressure on my lower back / suggesting different pushing positions, getting me toast RIGHT after delivery) was exactly what I needed. My husband also loved having another person there to help support us. She also took some incredible photos/videos!! We didn't have a doula with our first, and I wish we did. I couldn't recommend Saphren enough to any future parents out there!
