Testimonial for Maya Atlasov
The best decision we made in the lead up to our first birth was to hire Maya! We interviewed multiple doulas and knew pretty quickly that Maya was the one. She's incredibly knowledgable and exudes so much kindness and warmth. We had two prenatal meetings with her where we talked about my birth plan, what may arise and how we'd address various scenarios. Between meetings she shared resources and answered questions I had.
During the labor and birth Maya was so supportive to not only me, but to my husband. While I was pretty adamant I wanted an unmedicated birth, Maya helped me think through what it would look like if that plan changed. Lo and behold, I ended up getting an epidural and was grateful to have thought through this ahead of time. She sat with me for hours on end as I breathed through some really intense contractions. When I got the point of wanting an epidural, Maya was very supportive. Throughout the entire labor she was very hands-on, helping me into different positions (Spinning Babies!) and working closely with the various nurses to ensure my needs were met. She was right by my side during pushing and for the delivery of our baby girl. She kept in touch with us in the postpartum period and came over for a final visit to discuss how the birth went. It was really nice to be able to talk it through and tie a bow around the whole thing.
In short, we can't recommend Maya highly enough!
