I just gave birth to my 1st child in December of 2021, and being nervous about my 1st birth experience I opted to hire Zina as my doula. I am so so glad I did! Pregnancy/birth is such in intense personal experience, but from the start of our zoom calls, I felt comfortable with Zina right away. Via these initial zoom calls Zina helped ease my anxiety pre birth with multiple check ins. I really valued her extensive knowledge and experience with both hospital and home births. She was such an amazing coach throughout the birth. I had to be medically induced so my constractions were fierce. Zina helped coach me through some intense construction pain AND pushing pain and was a calming presence throughout. Post birth Zina has checked in a few times and offered great suggestions on tea to help with breastfeeding, messages that helped reduce swelling in my feet, etc. It's nice to have that touch point and to feel taken care of! She helped make my whole 1st birth experience a positive one.
