Testimonials

Hiring Maria as my doula for my second pregnancy was one of the best decisions I made. She was instrumental in helping me achieve a positive birth experience this time around. Her biomechanics training was incredibly valuable in helping rotate my baby into an optimal position, making labour smoother and more manageable. Beyond her expertise, Maria’s flexibility and availability on WhatsApp were a huge comfort—especially when I started experiencing false early contractions. She always responded with reassurance and guidance, which made such a difference in keeping me calm and informed. Her support didn’t stop at birth. Postnatally, Maria provided much-needed night support, allowing me to rest and recover. She also gave invaluable advice on helping my toddler adjust to the big changes of having a new sibling. Having her as a resource and a helping hand has been a total game changer. Thank you Maria for being such a great support to our family. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Hiring Maria to support the birth of our second child was one of the best choices we made during pregnancy. From the moment we found her website we knew we wanted her at our birth and feel so lucky she was able to work with us. She tailored her support to our needs and was instrumental in helping us have the birth we dreamed of at home, acting as the perfect mediator between us and the midwives and ensuring everything was taken care of so my husband could focus on his role as birth partner. She offered exactly the type of support and encouragement we needed before and during labour, helping us both to feel calm, confident and empowered. We will be forever grateful to Maria for her support and for helping us achieve a truly magical birth. Thank you Maria!”

Maria was incredibly helpful during my pregnancy as a birth doula. She was always able to provide unbiased advice and information about my birth options. Following unexpected complications from my baby’s birth, Maria then went above and beyond by supporting us in the hospital and taking on the role of postnatal doula. She continued to provide postnatal support to us at home, making time for us that we hadn’t planned in advance. Maria provided breastfeeding support throughout the newborn period that ensured I was able to breastfeed my baby. This was particularly important when the advice I received from midwives and others did not work for me and my baby. Maria showed me, my partner, and our baby care beyond what anyone could have expected and we truly don’t know how we could have got through a difficult postpartum period without her! Maria provided non-judgemental and tailored support, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her as a birth doula, postnatal doula, and for breastfeeding support. ❤️❤️❤️

“I would highly recommend Maria as a Doula. We considered a hospital birth but decided that this time round we wanted a hands-off homebirth. The community midwives were very supportive but talked about guidelines that I was not comfortable with. Maria guided us and supported us in discussing and putting in place an out of guidelines birth plan. She signposted me to research so that I could make informed decisions and we also made sure that we were aware of reasons why I might need a transfer to hospital. On the night of the birth Maria arrived but what struck me the most is that she just sat back, unobtrusively watching, and let me and my partner have our birth together. She did make some quiet suggestions and rang for the midwife when I felt I needed her but apart from that I didn’t even know she was there. Our baby was born in water, it was calm, cathartic and healing. Thank you, Maria, for your presence, your knowledge, and your down right sassiness when needed. Lucy x”
