Testimonials

“Working with Efrat has been the absolute best choice we’ve made during our pregnancy and parenthood journey.

 

From the day we met, we have felt supported and cared for, and continue to feel the same even weeks after the birth of our son. Efrat led us through birth preparations and was available for every question, any time - she has a great approach in which she’s sharing her knowledge and experience but always presents the different options and encourage you to do what feels right to you. 

 

When I went into labour Efrat was beside me all night and I look back at the experience positively- largely because of her; she basically held me in her arms for most of those long hours, and her guidance and loving care was  so reassuring and needed.

 

Lastly, Efrat supported me through the early days of breastfeeding which were really challenging and I thank her greatly for going above and beyond to make sure I’m successful in feeding my son (and taking care of myself at the same time).

 

I highly recommend Efrat to anyone looking to have a meaningful and positive doula support before and after the arrival of their little one!” 

'Efrat was such an important part of our first month with our newborn. She played so many different roles in helping us successfully transition into first time parents. Her support and guidance transformed a very overwhelming period into an amazing experience. 

Firstly, she helped me become successful at breastfeeding. Our son was forceps delivery and wasn't latching properly, and was also low birth weight so getting him to put on weight was essential. She provided excellent hands on help to make sure that he was feeding properly and consistently,  and ensuring that I wasn't in pain during the process. 

Secondly, having her night nanny meant that both my husband and I were able to sleep and I could recover from the birth. Knowing that she was looking after our son meant that we could focus on our mental and physical wellbeing while learning to take care of a new baby.

Finally she was a source of information and guidance. She taught us so much about what to expect and how to manage different scenarios that were completely foreign to us - everything from how to swaddle properly, to how to get our little one to take a bottle. No questions were off limits. 

She helped make us confident and gave us the tools to feel like we were able to take care of our new baby in the best way possible.'
