I am writing this review as I feel all women should know exactly how much having Verina as my doula changed my whole journey into motherhood.
I contacted Verina while pregnant with my third baby. I initially contacted her mainly for postnatal care as I suffered from severe postnatal depression after having my 2nd.
I remember telling Verina that I didn’t really need that much support before the birth as it was my third. Looking back, I realise that I was so wrong. After doing the hypnobirthing sessions with Verina I reframed my perception on what I should experience during birth. I also learnt about learning to trust my own body.
Verina totally over delivered throughout the time she supported me. She was a great source of information, accompanied me to many appointments and encouraged me to advocate for what I wanted. I realise now that the preparation that we did together before the birth led me to have the most amazing birth. After 2 inductions with my first and second babies. My third baby was born naturally. The birth was just so amazing that I didn’t feel the need to push. My body just did what it had to do. My daughter came into this world and when they put her on my chest I was so surprised as I didn’t even know I had given birth. The whole experience was just magical!
I really can’t thank Verina enough. I realise now that having a good birth impacts your postpartum period. I have suprised myself with how well I have done since having my daughter. I cannot recommend Verina enough. I am just gutted that I did not meet her when I had my first and second.
