Testimonials

“Thank you, Greta. With you as my doula I had a wonderful, natural birth experience. Greta supported me both physically and mentally. As she is my yoga instructor, I knew her knowledge of the body would assist my labor and delivery. I wanted to have a natural, water delivery. Within two consultations I trusted that she understood my wishes. She helped me toward my goals.  Greta is a very patient caregiver. Awaiting my first child I was not sure of what to expect. I had a multi-day labor, Greta helped me all through the early stages. She helped to relieve the pain of my contractions, through massage and specialized stretching, from the initial contractions to the actual delivery. Beyond the physical and mental support, Greta was helpful to explain medical jargon; to communicate my wishes to hospital staff; and to assure follow through of those some wishes.  I am very happy with my birth experience with Greta: I would have had a difficult labor and delivery without her. She is not only an excellent doula, she is an amazing friend.”  Mayu

“Greta took the time to understand what our birthing goals were and supported us in preparing for the arrival of our first baby.  Because of the birth preparation process with Greta, we felt comfortable reaching out to her for support when having to make decisions during unanticipated events that occurred during the birth.  Greta provided us with the extra support we needed which gave us more energy to focus on what really mattered.” Amanda

“My journey through my birth experience was wonderful.   I knew from the start of my pregnancy that my birth experience would not be complete without having a doula to support me through my birth. Choosing a person to help support me through this process is never an easy one. But, I got very lucky when I found Greta. Greta was an amazing asset to my birth process. I had the opportunity to get to know Greta through her work at Health Foundations. Greta is a very kind and giving person. She has a wonderful heart and is a very gifted doula. The type of support that she provided me throughout my pregnancy and delivery was something you would have thought only a family member could provide you. Getting to know her through my birth process, she has become my family. Knowing the dynamic of the relationship with my husband, we both knew that having a doula was the best thing for our family. My husband had his own role in my birth process, part of which was taking care of our two year old daughter, so I knew that I needed to have a person who was dedicated to taking care of just me. Greta is very calm under any intense situations, like birth. She has the ability to help soothe you through your birthing process in a way that makes you feel that you can give birth with no problems. She was extremely encouraging and comforting through this experience I felt blessed to have her be a part of the birth of my daughter Shiloh. Greta took the time to not only get to know me but also my husband and daughter, Addison. She has continued to be a great support for me even after the birth of my daughter, Shiloh. I know that if I ever needed anything she would be there for me. I feel blessed to have met her and now to call her my friend. I am happy that she was brought into our lives and am grateful to have had her as my doula. “ Liz
