Anasuya was referred to me by a friend and I am so happy to have listened to her and not wasted any time interviewing other Doulas. My friend showed me Anasuya’s picture and that was enough for me, because I knew that her face was the one I wanted to see during my first time transitioning into the motherhood. So before I even met her I knew that she was the one and after meeting her it was a sealed deal. Anasuya is the most passionate, knowledgeable, and positive person I had ever met. She eats, sleeps, and breathes all things pregnancy, delivery, and baby. She will make you feel like you are the only woman ever to have a baby. I enjoyed our labor rehearsals so much that I was super excited about my drug free water birth, which Anasuya referred to as “party time”.  Although my labor and delivery did not go as planned, Anasuya still made sure that it was “party time,” and thinking about it now, I never actually felt like I was in labor. There was no fear and it was so natural. Anasuya made the stale hospital room feel like a spa experience. We exercised, listened to Samba, danced, ate fruit, drank REAL coconut water, and took super quirky pictures. Finally after all that “partying” my beautiful baby girl was born and Anasuya became a friend for life. So whether you are a first time mom or not, I believe that you will benefit from having this amazingly beautiful person next to you during your life’s biggest accomplishment.
