Roshnii, ajudaste-me a abrir os olhos a como a viagem do parto pode ser incrível. A tua abordagem suave e conhecimento grande em combinação com a tuas próprias experiéncias faz-te a pessoa perfeita para fazer o que fazes.

Sinto que sem tu, o parto não teria sido tão tranquilo. Sabendo que estavas lá criou um verdadeiro sentido de seguriança e proteção. Isso deixou-me concentrar-me para dentro e centrar a minha atenção ao parto desde o início.

Roshnii, you helped open our eyes to how amazing the birthing journey can be. Your gentle approach and vast knowledge in combination with your own experiences make you a perfect person to be doing what you do.

I feel that without you, the birth would not have gone so smoothly. Knowing you were there created a real sense of safety and security. This let me focus inwards and turn my attention to the birth from the beginning.

Somos tão gratos que Supriya foi a nossa doula. Ela foi uma presença calma e pensativa por toda parte, ajudando-nos a explorar os sentimentos complexos que um tempo de transição pode suscitar de maneira gentil e sensível à medida que nos preparávamos para o nascimento. Durante o parto, ela me deu apoio, carinho e presente, permitindo que eu trabalhasse à minha maneira, mas tinha um senso intuitivo de quando eu precisava dela. O nascimento de nosso filho foi particularmente desafiador às vezes e meu marido sentiu que a aceitação e a compaixão de Supriya o ajudaram a lidar com isso, então ele, por sua vez, poderia estar mais completo para mim.

We are so grateful that Supriya was our doula. She was a calm, thoughtful presence throughout, helping us explore the complex feelings such a transitional time can bring up in a gentle, sensitive way as we prepared for the birth.

During the birth she was supportive, nurturing and present, allowing me to labour in my own way, yet had an intuitive sense of when I needed her.

Our son’s birth was particularly challenging at times and my husband felt Supriya’s acceptance and compassion helped him to cope with this so he in turn could be more fully there for me.
