I was so happy I had Larissa as my doula. Having a hospital birth was a little worrisome for me because of past experiences, but knowing she was going to be there for me really helped me relax. She was very supportive and respectful of everything going on and it eased my mind knowing she was there for me. She’s got awesome vibes that she brings with her, and knows just how to help and be there in the peak of the moment whether it’s giving you water, massage or just supportive words. I also had her as a postpartum doula and it was wonderful. She came, cooked and cleaned, ran to the store and watched my other kids as well as baby so I had a couple hours to myself. It was so nice to have someone look after you at home! Would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a very uplifting, supportive and calming doula. I absolutely loved her!

My husband and I cannot speak more highly of our doula, Larisa!!! She was with us through my 40 hour labor! Labored at home for 32 hours then ended up having to transfer to the hospital. She was with us the whole time! I will always have a doula from now on knowing just how valuable having her was to us during my labor! Her skill of being a massage therapist, as well, was a huge benefit and she massaged my back for countless hours. She was well worth the price of a doula. My husband was hesitant to get a doula as he did not see the need going into child birth, however now he is a huge supporter of doula's in childbirth! Now my husband says, " the best money ever spent!" Thank you, Larisa!

Having Larissa as our doula was one of the best decisions me and my wife made in bringing our first child to the world. She was very respectful, generous with her time knowledge and love! Going through the birthing process for the first time, we have been able to make some important decisions with more confidence and without regrets afterwards. She was very compassionate and encouraging! And timely postpartum visits were a huge help for my wife's baby blues. She made our experience memorable and enjoyable!

I want to say a big thank you to Larisa for being my doula. This was my 4th child and she was such a big help. She created a calm and relaxing atmosphere with music, candles, and massage which really helped during contractions. With her help, labor was much easier and faster without the need for pain killers or epidural. She also helped at home. I have 3 other children and she helped with household chores, cooking while I took a little break. It was great physical and emotional help. I could ask her for anything and she was always happy to help. A big thank you!

Larisa, thank you very much, you did everything and even more so that my birth would be easy and as natural as possible. Thanks to your professional training, you prepared me well before the birth and saved me from unwanted tears. This was my 3rd birth and I never felt so good after the baby was born. I never thought that a special massage could help to feel less pain when giving birth naturally. Everything went well thanks to you. Thank you for not leaving me for even a minute. Girls, if you are going to give birth, I highly recommend Larisa as a doula. She knows how to help you, so that you and your baby will be in good hands.
