"I could not have gone through my first birth without her support."
My first pregnancy came as a surprise in 2021, while I was in Denmark and far from my family. I felt deeply excited, but also full of the fears and insecurities of becoming a mother for the first time. Looking for a doula was my way of feeling emotionally held and guided.
Having Laiza with me at home before going to the hospital was essential. She helped me breathe, supported me through a long labor and stayed present for more than 24 hours, bringing calm, communicating my needs to the medical team and holding me through every contraction. What I value most is her calm, strength and constant presence.
