Doula Ayda was an incredible support and help during my pragnancy and birth. Besides her outstanding knowledge of prenatal care, she was amazingly well-educated about the birth process and was the main reason i had natural birth. My baby was born at 42 weeks narutally thanks to all the advices and support i recieved from Ayda. Even though i was sceduled for induction at 42 weeks i followed the routine of exercises and natural remedies suggested by Ayda to help with natural birth which worked wonders. The contractions started one day before the scheduled induction date, and no oxitocine, epidural or any other medication was needed. The baby was born completely naturally after 16 hours. Ayda was with me and my husband at the hospital during the entire process providing unconditional support and care that i would never forget. Her vast knowledge, patience, kindness and strong presence immensely contributed to a very positive experience I had givign birth to my first child. I cannot express enough my gratitude to Ayda and I hope that you will also have a chance to work with this wonderful person. You will never regret. With warm wishes, Tatiana

Ayda is a wonderful, experienced and reassuring doula. She's assisted in many births and her experience is evident. Throughout the prenatal sessions, she provided me with the confidence I was lacking to trust myself and to trust that my body would be able to go through the labour. My labour didn't go as planned and I ended up being induced and was very nervous. Ayda walked me through the process prior to the induction and throughout and was a very reassuring presence and continued to coach me throughout. I was able to give birth to our daughter without medication, as I'd wished. She was also very helpful with my partner and empowering him as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, she is absolutely fantastic.
I am so grateful that Ayda was part of the journey of my first pregnancy. I felt an immediate connection the first time I met her, and after our first discussion I knew she understood me, my husband, and our vision of our ideal birth. During the pregnancy, she gave me so many precious tools to be as ready as I could be for labour and delivery. I loved that she was totally real, she prepared me and helped me not to avoid the pain but to surrender to it, to welcome it and be empowered by it, as it is what helps bring baby into this world. When the day arrived, I felt she she was an angel by my side. I listened to every word she calmly said by my ear during labour and delivery, and I know that thanks to her cues and my mental preparation, I was blessed with a beautiful, completely natural, empowering birth. I am forever grateful for her help and really thinks every woman should have a doula to accompany them in the amazing adventure of giving life.
