Love Notes: 

“Aida’s presence during childbirth was extremely helpful, I don’t know if I would have been able to have such a peaceful birth at home without her support. Her comforting touch and and emotional support throughout my laboring helped me to find a centered place within myself to cope with the intensity of contractions. She was a resource for my husband to learn how to best support me throughout labor and together they made a great team. I was blown away by Aida’s intuitive knowing regarding how to provide comforting touch and how to show up for me throughout labor.”

“My husband and I loved working with Aida, and had an incredibly positive experience. Aida was sure to answer all of our questions in the lead up to the birth, and sent us a ton of information that helped us prepare. During the delivery, it was invaluable having someone in the room who knew what was going on. Aida had a calming demeanor that helped keep both of us calm throughout. She was also careful to stop and explain things as they were happening, so we could better understand our options. In the end, we had to have an emergency C-section, and Aida was able to stay with us throughout and acted as a great moral support. 

In the post-partum period she also visited with us, and was quick to respond to our many questions about breastfeeding and anything else. It's a very confusing time, and Aida did a great job of helping us navigate it. 

We recommend her highly!”

“Aida was such a steady, soothing and intuitive presence for the birth of BOTH of my children. She seemed to know just when I needed a cool cloth, or something to hold, or a reminder to breathe deeply. She takes such obvious joy in her practice as a doula, that it helped me remember also--what an incredible process this all is! I valued her quiet strength and sense of humor. It was also wonderful to work with the same doula for multiple births. Aida remembered things I had forgotten from my first birth and was able to help me process the similarities and differences in both of my birthing experiences. She's just wonderful.”

"Aida is kind, calm, dedicated and a passionate doula who worked hard to support me and my family before, during and after labor. She reviewed our birth plan with us, provided some training for pain management techniques, and stayed with us through the entirety of our 18 hour hospital labor and delivery experience. She was instrumental in keeping me informed and walked me through what I should be expecting to experience as I went through the various stages of labor which gave me much more confidence and assurance as it was my first time going through it all. She kept my husband and mother calm and in good spirits, which helped me relax knowing I didn't have to worry about them. Most importantly she helped support me in various ways during the pushing phase as my husband absolutely could not get a handle on it. While I didn't get everything I had planned for in the original birth plan due to the complications of my GD, I truly believe that I was able to have the best labor experience possible under the circumstances and I am so grateful for that. Well worth the investment for the support and peace of mind. I highly recommend Aida."
