Aysegul is a highly committed Doula, who is not only knowledgeable and passionate about childbirth but also integrates more humanistic values in the child birth process for parents and baby alike. Drawing on the wisdom of modern and old techniques and practices Aysegul was indispensable for me and my wife before, during and after the birth of our daughter. Thank you Aysegul for being with us during the birth of our child.

Ayşegül was recommended to us by my husband’s teammate. When I met with her for the first time we instantly connected. Her personality was so warm, calming, and caring. She was a wonderful listener and clearly knew what she was talking about. A huge reason we hired her is that she made it very clear that she would support whatever decisions we made and I felt zero judgment from her. Having Ayşegül with us through labor and delivery, to be able to translate what the midwives were saying, and more importantly what we were saying, was worth every penny in itself. My husband and I both truly believe that if we didn’t have Ayşegül with us through labor and delivery, we would have had a completely different birth experience. Ayşegül always made sure we were both supported and comfortable with everything. I remember right after our daughter was born, while she was still on my chest, just crying and telling her “thank you” over and over. My husband has said over and over how much he loved having her there for us. She encouraged him and reminded him of things he could do to support me without stepping on his toes. Having her there to answer his questions and reassure him that everything was going well was essential. If you are on the fence about hiring a doula, this is your sign to just go for it because you won’t regret it.

Two decisions that I have no regrets over in my pregnancy and birth were my choice of doctor and having Ayşegül with us as a doula. During pregnancy, Ayşegül prepared us for what birth could look like and choices that we had. She also answered pregnancy questions that came up. During labor it brought so much calm and peace to have Ayşegül with us. I could ask her what I should do or what was next and she knew exactly what to say. She was indispensable physical support during contractions as I was having a lot of back labor. In the end she was with us nearly 24 hours. My birth did not go exactly as I'd planned and I had some things to process through. It was nice at our post-partum home visit to have Ayşegül there to process it with. I would highly recommend having Ayşegül as a doula. She was a strong advocate and support for us.

When it was time to meet our baby, she was with me all the time. She reminded me the exercises. With the help of her massages and mystic scents we spend the hard and tiring times in a fascinating way, in the way it is supposed to be. We were ready and in contentment for everything that could happen. I will never forget you. Your sister power and smiley face will stay with me forever. I am still practicing the relaxations and to let go exercise you taught us. We feel grateful that you were with us. We love you Ayşegül!

In movies, in people's stories, in advertising - everywhere they talk about the experience of childbirth as something frightening. Ayşegül completely changed my perception of childbirth. The most important thing learned is that pain during childbirth shows that everything is going according to plan of the nature. The pain means that after a few moments I will finally meet with the baby. Ayşegül doesn't teach magic, but the attitude and practices of breathing and awareness. I am immensely grateful to her for supporting me in this journey.

I was alone in a foreign country and have zero support to go ahead with the birth, some friends suggested me that if I wanted a natural birth, a doula would be the way to go forward. I searched in internet for references and yours came across with pretty good results so I went for it. It was the best choice I could have made. When I was in the middle of the delivery I had a moment when I was very close to give up and ask for the epidural but was then when the work of you as my doula and your support holding my hand did its best and gave me the strength to don’t give up. It was the best experience of my life and if I ever have another kid I would ask for a doula support again without hesitation. It is very sad the misconception and lack of understanding of the doula roles nowadays.
