Testimonial for Raya Sagdejeva
I reached out to Raya when I was about 20 weeks pregnant because of all the positive reviews and stories I read about her, and now I'm so happy to share my own positive review so others will know what an amazing birth experience she can help to facilitate. She helped my husband and me, who are first time parents, figure out a birth plan that felt right for us and helped us with the language to communicate it with our healthcare team. We felt supported and empowered every step of the way and it gave us great peace of mind to know she'd be with us for the birth of our daughter. She knew my preferences, mantras, and hopes for labor and delivery as well as I did, and when the big day finally came she couldn't have been more helpful in keeping me calm and focused and in helping my husband support me physically through position changes, movement, and soothing touch. She helped me trust my own body and gave me confidence when fear tried to creep in. Now, looking back on the birth of my sweet baby girl, I'm filled with such joy and satisfaction about how it all occurred and Raya's calming demeanor, knowledge, and experience helped make it all possible. I'll recommend her to every pregnant person I know!
