Testimonials

Siri was a great maternity nurse. Every fresh breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks were made in an Ayurvedic way. This allowed me to regain my strength quickly. I also received a wonderful massage every day, which allowed me to release built-up tension. Emotionally there was also space for me to feel at ease. The laundry was also done and the toilet cleaned daily. I could ask Siri all my questions and she was attentive to the well-being of me and the baby. Thanks to Siri and her intern, I had a great maternity period!

Together with my partner, I was looking for a doula because we both knew how important it is to have a quiet, powerful and stable person next to you when you give birth. With Siri there was a click, I trusted her. In the months before the birth it was nice to be supported by her knowledge and to discuss my thoughts and wishes. We knew that research shows that statistically there is a greater chance to have a natural and fast birth with a Doula present. I also found it a reassuring idea that she would go to the hospital with me should that be necessary. Not dealing with changes in shifts and new staff but always having my own doula to rely on.
I wanted to do as much as possible myself, without interventions from the midwife. It was really great to have Siri there to feel supported by the soft power. And it worked: Siri was with us before the midwife came and I could completely be in my own bubble. Thanks to her I didn’t feel like a birth rookie, but as the expert of my own body, my process, my birth, thanks to her presence, with her quiet confidence and encouraging words.

I don't even know where to begin to express my gratitude to you! I would wish every postpartum woman 'a Siri'. My maternity week and entire post-partum period was so beautiful and safe because Siri assisted us.
Siri works from her heart and you can taste it in the food, feel it during a massage and experience it in the interactions with yourself/partner and with your children. She senses very well what you need and in my case also my son. She helped me to maintain boundaries. Even though sometimes I didn't realize that I needed boundaries. This allowed me to listen more to my body, promote recovery and be there 100% for me and the baby.
She cooks delicious, nutritious dishes that I have enjoyed every time. Not only evening food but also lunch, breakfast and nutritious snacks. Not having to cook was a real relief for us if I compare it to my maternity period with my first child.
I wasn't sure if I needed a massage after only a few days of giving birth. However, it turned out to be very nice to get grounded again in this way. Siri massages very lovingly and with attention.
What I have also experienced as very valuable is that Siri never pushes an opinion, but really lets you feel what you want and need. She is also very easy to plan and we were able to coordinate everything in good consultation.
Again, I could advise it to everyone and I fully do ;-) The maternity period is so important and valuable that everyone should invest in it.

"On the day of delivery, Siri was the steadfast support I desperately needed, being by my side from 4:00 AM, talking to me, massaging me, and making sure I stayed hydrated and nourished."

My daugther was born mi-November and I must admit that my delivery has been a great experience, not always easy though. And during this journey of pregancy, pre and post partum, I had the chance to meet Siri, she has been there for me all along, and this has been a great gift. Siri helped me to reflect on my fears and other feelings before the delivery, we met a couple of times to discuss and she gave me some massages to relax. She has been a tremendous support during my delivery, breathing with me for every contractions. That was quite a lot of work considering that my delivery last a few days and nights. I could call her at any time days and nights and she would carry me and lead me back to the path of my journey with confidence, again and again…Siri is a very wise person and helps you to find peace and confidence in yourself, she will never influence your decision but help you to find your way, what is important for you. She helps you to be strong in what you are. The greatest gift you can ever receive, someone who helps you to be yourself.
I will be forever greatfull to her to have supported me through this most important event of my life, and thanks to her the birth of my daughter has been a beautiful and magic moment.
In gratitude.

Summing up our experience with Siri in just a few words is challenging because it surpassed all our expectations. Siri was not only our doula and kraamzorg but also our postpartum doula. More than that, she became like family. This was my second childbirth, following a traumatic first experience. During our prenatal sessions, Siri provided the support I needed to acknowledge and overcome my previous trauma. Her massages in the last trimester were incredibly relaxing and focused on both my mental and physical well-being. On the day of delivery, Siri was the steadfast support I desperately needed, being by my side from 4:00 AM, talking to me, massaging me, and making sure I stayed hydrated and nourished. She also served as a non-judgmental sounding board for my husband and me when we needed to make critical decisions. Siri made me feel confident and empowered during childbirth.
The week of kraamzorg with Siri was magical—filled with nourishing food, soothing massages, and heartfelt conversations that helped me feel stronger every day. Siri went above and beyond what anyone else would have done. After she left, we truly missed her, and we were thrilled when she returned as my postpartum doula. Her love and warmth are special. Anyone who has Siri join their birth team is indeed fortunate.
