As a first-time mother in a new country, I was looking for a doula who could guide me through the birth process with understanding and care. Sitra provided just that. From our initial meetings, she made sure I felt comfortable and informed about my options, and during labor, her calm and professional presence was exactly what I needed. She was attentive to my needs, advocating for me and ensuring that I felt safe at every step. After the birth, Sitra also offered helpful support with breastfeeding, giving me the confidence I needed as I adjusted to life with my newborn. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled doula.

Working with Sitra was an incredible experience. From the moment we connected, I felt supported, understood, and empowered. Her knowledge of VBAC, and evidence-based birth support gave me confidence in every step of my journey. She listened to my concerns with compassion, always offering advice that respected my choices and my unique circumstances. Her approach is not just about providing services—it's about truly empowering you to make informed decisions and feel confident in your body’s wisdom. I’m beyond grateful for her guidance and care.
