Words can't describe the support and care we received from Sumati. She relieved our anxiety, calmed our fears and provided much needed advice during a difficult pregnancy. We really appreciated the information, encouragement and support. From being a process filled with uncertainty and anxiety, after  working together we got to a place where we actually began to enjoy  and have fun with the pregnancy and preparation for labor! My husband was almost too excited to try all the methods out. The instant she walked into the hospital room I just knew everything was going to be alright, her presence alone gave me strength to go through anything. I have no idea how I would have done it if not for her. Postpartum she was extremely knowledgable. She knew about what we would bring up almost before we mentioned it. I'm sure we would have run into many problems if it were not for her experience and advice. The Ayurvedic care was divine and it definitely helped me and the baby sail through postpartum and breastfeeding, easing the discomforts and keeping away any complications. As was the emotional support for both of us. We were so sad to end our time with her and can't recommend her highly enough.

Sumati has been such a great help through my first 40 days of postpartum recovery. Her knowledge of holistic postpartum Ayurvedic care has helped me with getting the baby latched, severe muscle pain, weakness recovery, sprained hip due to delivery strain as well as engorged breast. Her care plan has massages, baths, meal plans as well as Ayurvedic herbs and roots for recovery. She is an amazing doula, very friendly and accommodated my earlier than expected labor and delivery. Thank you Sumati!

Sumati was so wonderful! She's very experienced and knowledgeable, she helped us first time parents with every aspect of raising/handling a newborn which we didn't know anything about. She's very gentle with our son and he loved her too! She's very knowledgeable about postpartum recovery too and she helped me a lot with how to take care of myself after I had a c-section delivery. I did not know how much giving a birth affects your body! She brought me some nutritious foods and even gave me a massage :) We could not have survived the first 3 months of our son's life without her and we'd recommend her to any new parents for sure!
