Women never forget giving birth. And how a woman is treated during this trans-formative experience — whether she feels cared for, nurtured and empowered during birth or directed, coerced and ignored — matters more than whether a mother labors with drugs or without, or whether her baby comes out vaginally or by Cesarean ...section.  -Penny Simkin

  • Free meet & greet via Zoom to see if we are a good match.
  • Two pre-birth planning consultations to relieve stress and fear.

For scheduled Cesarean Births:
I will accompany you to the hospital and won't leave until you're successfully nursing.  If your baby is in the NICU, I'll ensure that you've seen pictures or video of your new baby and are comfortable and resting. Please check with your hospital, not all hospitals allow support for a scheduled cesarian birth.

​"Diksha was a much needed grounding presence at the birth of my daughter. She spent above and beyond the amount of time with me that most doulas do."

"She was my cheering squad, but in the most subtle way, small words of encouragement and simple touch went a long way."

"I never once felt or noticed her arms tire from the double hip squeeze, or sense any impatience at the slowness of my labor."

 "She was there for my husband and my other 2 children and put them all at ease."
