Testimonial for Saphren Ma
I am so glad we hired Saphren as our doula! During our early meetings, she provided all the information and resources I needed to make informed decisions about my labour. Once I had settled on a plan (I was open to an epidural but wanted to try other pain management strategies first), she made clear that she would stand behind and advocate for all my choices. During labour, she came to my house twice in the night (around 10pm and 3am) to support us and ultimately rode with us to the hospital. At the hospital she spent hours spraying warm water on my back while my partner held me in the tub. Ultimately, I needed/chose a c section for non-progressing and she supported me all throught that as well. Although some would see my labour as hard (a few hours of unmedicated pushing and a c section), I recall it as an empowering experience for me and a bonding experience for my partner and I, and I think Saphrens support is what made the difference!! Her photography and postpartum support were also great!
