Ayisha has been a blessing to me!! Words cannot describe how truly grateful I am to her for helping me navigate my birth experience.
My first pregnancy was unexpected and came with a lot of uncertainties, suggestions and shared experiences from friends/family/social media… not only was I overwhelmed but I had no idea how I was going to get through 9 months and overcome the fear of delivering my baby . Meeting Ayisha was literally the best thing that could ever happen to me. We connected instantly! She is super pleasant, kind, patient, very knowledgeable and resourceful! She gave clarification to things I wasn’t sure about and also made me feel comfortable and confident to open up about the fears I had regarding delivery. Knowing I had her support made me feel confident throughout my journey . Though we had a labor/delivery plan, it didn’t go the way I expected .. Due to the hospital’s negligence it wasn’t the best experience, I was left waiting for hours to be checked in, hours to be placed in a room, hours to then finally be able to start the induction process… I was frustrated, exhausted, scared, lonely and didn’t know what to expect… Then Ayisha came and instantly became everything I needed her to be..
My soundboard/support -she asked all the questions and made sure the nurses did what they were supposed to do
My calm- she brought essential oils for me to smell (I absolutely love peppermint), she gave the most gentle, soothing back rubs when I was having contractions .. she just knew how to make me feel better
My protector- Though it was such a tough process she made me feel so safe, she never left my side <3
I cannot thank Ayisha enough for being there for me through it all !! She’s an amazing person , a true blessing and amazing Doula !!
