Birth Stories & Testimonials

Yas’s depth of knowledge is unrivalled, covering both medical and holistic areas, she is more than capable of providing support in any circumstance that arises! We chose to work with Yas for my second baby after a traumatic NHS experience first time around; from the first meeting she was so personable and erudite that my husband was willing to reconsider the home birth I wanted and he had been totally against. Yas was a great support to both of us antenatally, listening to any concerns we had and providing in depth guidance as well as emotional support. During my labour Yas was a fantastic support, knowing when to offer me assistance and encouragement but also giving my husband and I time alone together to experience the process as a couple. She is a wonderful advocate and I would be more than happy to recommend her to anyone looking for doula support during pregnancy, birth & postnatally.

Yas is not a lady who is taking care of women for a job, it really is her calling. She goes over and beyond your expectations and you know you're in good hands. She's a doula who is well informed and that makes a world of difference, it certainly meant for me I could confidently homebirth despite having a heart complication. When going under conventional care you are not really given all your birth choices and options, but Yas ensures you are. Thank you from the depth of my heart for your service and soul to help me in what would have been a difficult and lonely time for us.

Yas has been a huge support to me and my husband during our pregnancy - helping us prepare our birth plan and make informed choices at every stage. She has advised us on everything from breastfeeding to safe sleep, how to use different slings to biomechanics and navigating the postpartum period. Her input is always practical but full of care and consideration for our personal preferences and what's important to us. Thank you Yas you're a superstar 🌟

I cannot recommend Yas highly enough. Throughout my birth experience, she was an unwavering source of knowledge, calm, and support. Yas travelled down from Norfolk to support me in a London hospital, and arrived in record timing - literally a couple of hours. What truly set her apart was her deep understanding of medical terminology. During moments when doctors were explaining procedures or options, Yas was right there, breaking everything down into clear, simple language that I could fully understand. Because of her, I felt empowered to make informed decisions about my care rather than overwhelmed or uncertain. She was also an incredible advocate. Whenever I needed support or reassurance in communicating my wishes, Yas stepped in with confidence and compassion, ensuring my voice was heard and respected. That alone made such a difference in my overall experience. Beyond her expertise, her presence was incredibly grounding. Her gentle affirmations and calming energy helped me stay centred during what could have been a very stressful time. She created a space where I felt safe, supported, and truly cared for. You will truly be blessed to have Yas as your doula. She is exceptional in every sense of the word.

I had heard about doulas long before becoming pregnant - usually on television calming an archetypal anxious mum to be. My view was that they provide a service for the pampered... then I fell pregnant with my first child in a global pandemic while being categorised as a high risk pregnancy. I needed something that I was not getting from anywhere else. When I saw Yas' post about her doula service I grabbed at it with both hands, not quite knowing what to expect. I was anxious, alone and ill informed. What I found in Yas was the opposite to what I was looking for - I needed another person to take control and tell me it'd all be OK- instead she guided me with trusted resources for information, important pregnancy/birth questions and an understanding ear. I received so much more than I was looking for, Yas helped me to feel empowered in a way that meant I was able to tell myself it'd be ok... because I was ok. My fear and anxiety were replaced by peace and a readiness for the unknown... She is calm, professional, pragmatic and helpful. Thank you Yas
