Testimonial
"The care that we received from Yas from the very first moment we met her at 7 months pregnant was second to none. Her knowledge was amazing and she left no stone unturned to ensure that we were able to make informed choices. I felt fully supported and Tyrone and I both felt so ready for the upcoming birth. With her Doula experience plus her medical background, Yas was the perfect fit for us - as Tyrone was certain that anyone who supported us needed to have some medical knowledge. Around the time of my due date I started to have some anxieties about baby's movements and so went in to the hospital to get checked. Sadly this resulted in a lot of stress and pressure put on to me by the hospital and so our plans for a home birth were derailed. Yas walked alongside Tyrone and I throughout this very challenging and stressful period and provided amazing support. She advocated on our behalf and stood by us throughout the whole thing. She also ensured that we had all of the knowledge that we needed to make informed choices about the birth. When I was starting to doubt my abilities to labour naturally, Yas instilled me with so much confidence that I could do it. I believe that it's down to Yas' extremely empowering support that I was able to go into established labour naturally and have a quick and straight forward labour. So quick that she almost missed the birth! However she arrived at the perfect moment. Having Yas present for the birth was amazing and felt so special after the journey she had been on with us. Her support after the birth was also incredible, she helped so much with my breast feeding journey and relieving my anxieties as a first time mum. She was also able to pick up on an issue with the positioning during feeding and recommend we see an Osteopath. Without her support I would have been struggling on in pain! In those early postpartum days when I was quite overwhelmed and anxious, having her support really helped to ground and empower me. Both Tyrone and I are immensely grateful for Yas' role in the arrival of our son, which despite not going how we had initially planned, we only look back on with positive memories."
