Testimonial for Dasha Litvinov CD(DONA) Doula & CCCE Childbirth Educator
Dasha went above and beyond to make our birth experience feel supported and amazing. She loves what she does and her passion helped my husband and I feel supported in every step of labor, birth and postpartum. She took the time to understand me, the way I wanted to make decisions and then empowered me with the knowledge to make choices that felt good to me.
Starting before early labor, it was so helpful to have her explain what was happening and what I could expect. At the hospital, it was so helpful to have her there to anticipate what I might need when it became harder to ask for what I needed.
When my water broke, we discovered there was meconium in it. Dasha was so helpful explaining everything that could happen in a way that felt reassuring. When the NICU nurses had to take my son at birth, I was so grateful for Dasha's support. My husband was able to watch them care for our son and Dasha was there to support me. This support made a very scary moment feel so much less scary. I felt surprisingly calm and at ease during a very scary/uncertain moment.
Overall, my birth experience was positive and is now a precious memory despite complications and things that didn't go as planned. Dasha is a huge reason for that and I highly recommend her.
