When I first met with Sanyika for our initial consultation, I could feel her genuine energy and knew she would be the perfect doula for our family. I was pregnant with my first baby and had no idea what to expect. She provided me with a sense of security and confidence that I needed.
She asked me what resources I needed to prepare for birth and gave me excellent recommendations for hypnobirthing courses, child birthing courses, acupuncturists, and many other great resources throughout my last trimester. I really appreciated that she provided me the information, but supported us in whatever decision we felt was best for our family.
At the hospital during labor, she was such a huge support alongside my husband. She helped me to stay relaxed and comfortable throughout the contractions. I also loved that she captured some of the sweetest photos that I will cherish forever.
I dealt with postpartum preeclampsia, which was a scary experience for my family. Sanyika kept in contact with my husband and I to make sure I was ok and let us know she would be there for whatever we needed. Once I got home, she continued to provide amazing postpartum care. The herbal sitz bath was heavenly and just what I needed to relax and get time to reset.
Overall, I'm so thankful that we chose Sanyika as our doula and I can't say enough about how her support really helped us navigate our journey as new parents. If you're looking for a doula, she's the one! It'll be one of the best decisions you make in your pregnancy.
