My HeadFirst Doula Yana taught me about birth and to trust in my body’s ability to birth my baby. In birth she was my rock. She was a loving and constant presence and helped facilitate a safe birth environment.
HeadFirst Lactation and Doula Service is incredible! Yana became a part of our family quickly and I would recommend her to every mommy out there.
