Testimonials/Reviews
I decided on a home birth, so it was extremely important to be in good company, without a doubt Silvia with her sweetness, strength and knowledge was my best choice. She together with my husband, the gynecologist and the nurse formed a great team that made my delivery a magical and unique experience that I will never forget. Thank you Silvia for your love and support throughout the process and especially in the most difficult moments, which is when one needs a doula the most.

We were first time parents who were looking for guidance on not only caring for a newborn but also being prepared for what to expect during childbirth. Silvia came recommended to us and we could not have been more pleased with our full day with her! It completely exceeded our expectations for what we’d learn and how useful and positive the information was. Silvia catered the class around what we were looking for and even provided the information in a way that fit our personalities. After learning about the reason behind hypnobirth, the techniques, and positions to have a more positive and comfortable labor we were thrilled that we had this experience. Throughout the day we also covered many different subjects and Silvia was sure to let us interrupt with questions whenever need be and was always eager to help! Thanks!

Um dia eu aprendi que para falarmos sobre sentimentos temos que usar nosso idioma natal... E para mim, falar sobre a Silvia é falar sobre sentimentos!
Minha gestação e parto aconteceram totalmente durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Isso foi completamente determinante para tudo que eu vivi nesse período...
Sou brasileira e moro na Costa Rica há dois anos e meio onde passei toda minha gestação e onde meu filho nasceu e, devido a pandemia, não pude ter as pessoas mais importantes da minha vida ao meu lado, no momento mais importante da minha vida.
E é aí que a Silvia entra... num momento de total carência e medos, com todo o amor e empatia do mundo! A Silvia me acolheu, me abraçou, me ensinou, me acompanhou, me levou no colo nos momentos em que eu mais precisei.
Num momento em que sentia que não podia contar nem com meu esposo, eu tive a Silvia pra me apoiar. Silvia foi muito mais que minha Doula! Silvia foi minha mãe, meu pai, meus irmãos, minha família, minhas amigas!
Não posso imaginar como teria sido esse momento da minha vida sem ela. Deus nunca nos abandona. E nesse momento tão especial e delicado ele me mandou a Silvia.
Sou extremante grata a Ele por tê-la colocado em meu caminho.
Então, se a pergunta é: você recomendaria a Silvia como Doula?
A resposta é: Absolutamente sim!

Silvia is an excellent person and professional who helped us in all aspects that she could and in the things that she had doubts she looked for information or consulted with colleagues, always worried and following up everything we asked her. She was always available and willing to help in whichever way she could. In the most difficult moments she always helped me and never judged any decision. Being a new mom is all difficult and you definitely need a person who is willing to listen to you and and Silvia is that person. On her I found the sisterhood that one needs and not only did I find a person who is interested in his work but also a friend who has been there in good and bad times.

My husband and I took a private hypnobirth course with Silvia and we really loved it! Silvia structured the very interesting course 100% of the time, not only involving theory but also showing us breathing techniques, exercises and we even did a meditation. We feel very calm and empowered thanks to the tools we learned from her in the course of her. She loved that she provided us with audios with meditations to listen to before and during labor. Anyway, we think that all future dads should inform themselves about this philosophy to experience childbirth as something that can be enjoyed!
Silvia is very professional, attentive, patient with all questions, a super cute person and transmits a lot of tranquility! We fully recommend her! Thanks a lot for everything!

Silvia is an amazing doula! During my pregnancy she made me feel so supported and at ease. We live a few hours away so our first few meetings were virtual. We did live video chats where Silvia would show me different hypnobirthing strategies. Silvia was always available by phone to answer my questions. She also sent me videos and I found the audio guided meditations and affirmations she gave me extremely helpful. Once we arrived to San Jose to have our baby we began meeting in person. Silvia has such a calming and loving presence. She made me feel empowered and prepared for my birth. She is very thoughtful and made everything feel special. When I went into labor, she was extremely helpful to me and my husband. Her strategies, guidance, and reassurance helped me through the intense moments. She helped me achieve my ideal delivery and welcome our son, Marin! She was the first one there and the last one to leave. We couldn’t have done it without her! What I didn’t expect was how much Silvia helped me and how much I needed her during the postpartum weeks. Being far away from our families and having trouble breastfeeding made it pretty tough. Silvia provided me with so much encouragement and guidance as a lactation consultant during breastfeeding and she was so kind to help us coordinate pediatrician visits, etc. She also connected us with Ines, a doula she works closely with who was a huge help to us during this time as well. Silvia was like our family! She cared for me, my husband, and our new baby! She answered so many of my questions and suggested and provided things I didn’t even know I needed. I can’t imagine any part of this journey without her. She will definitely be my doula for our future children!

As a new mom one of my biggest fears was the breastfeeding process. Since it was very important for me to be able to achieve a good latch with my baby and be able to enjoy that beautiful connection.
I have known Silvia for a long time and I know that she is a wonderful person.
Now in my role as her mother, I did the breastfeeding workshop with her. Thanks to the love and dedication providing in each counseling, the breastfeeding process has been a success.
In addition, Silvia continues to be aware of us, when I was worried that I was not producing enough milk, she was there to remind me and clarify all my doubts.
I am very happy and grateful.

Silvia is passionate, empathetic, patient and also a beautiful person. My husband and I, as first-time parents, did not know anything, we did the prenatal / hypnobirth course with her and she helped us with lactation counseling afterwards as well and we thank her not only for all the information that helped us and also not to be so scared but more than anytthing was her accompaniment on this whole process, which is something that we will never forget. For each mom / dad who wants to feel prepared for the best experience of her life, I 100% recommend contacting Silvia. We will be eternally grateful.

Silvia is an ex professional. I will be eternally grateful for all her support, her patience, all her guidance, for that peace that she transmitted to me in my moments of anguish after the birth of my princess.
Thanks to her, we have been exclusively breastfeeding for 8 months, and is being a wonderful experience.
Silvia has been my Doula throughout my pregnancy, and her knowledge, information, charisma and company have made me feel so loved and safe and above all ready to live with my baby the birth I have dreamed of.
Silvi, we will never forget the prenatal massage nights with her hands full of love, the rewarding yoga classes, and a preparation for this conscious and longed-for birth.
Living this pregnancy accompanied by her professionalism and tenderness has been unique for me and our family, eternal THANKS

Silvia is a beautiful person - empathetic, patient, knowledgeable and always attentive. Throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, she has conveyed reassurance and confidence just by being present. I really enjoyed the yoga classes, the massages, the childbirth techniques classes, the postpartum visit and all the care she gave us during this stage - they are things we will never forget. 100% recommended
"Silvia visited me twice a week and for me it was the best experience of my life I really got connected with my baby .. accepting my body, God's plans, I enjoyed so much each class,I was like an encounter with me and my baby , she taught me to breathe, to relax, to find positions that would relieve me.
The last weeks were chaotic and she give me massages to relax to prepare me for that beautiful blind date.
I did not know that breastfeeding, childbirth and gestation angels exist and are called Doulas .. Thanks to her I had a respected birth, I was able to create my environment .. It was a wonderful experience.

Silvia is a woman who finds it totally natural to help others. She is always ready to give you a hand for whatever you need. She does things from love and excellence, she is in constant training, to have more and better tools to continue helping and providing solutions to whoever needs it. She is sensitive, loving and respectful. She lovingly accompanied my husband and me when we were going to have our second baby. She was very important to us, her presence in that very intimate and special moment, a presence always timely, never invasive. I appreciate having you as a doula and now as a friend.
The breastfeeding course for me was very helpful, I as a first-time mom knew nothing and also had references from friends and negative family members regarding the subject. I will be eternally grateful to Silvia because she was like an angel, with her vocation and charisma she was a great support for me and also thanks to her the breastfeeding process has been successful. I can give testimony that I had no pain when breastfeeding my son, not even the first day, we have been breastfeeding exclusively for 16 months and we still going. Thank you very much Silvia

ilvia was a wonderful asset to have on our side as first time parents in a foreign country. We were interested in having a doula help us with a bit of everything, from labor coaching and techniques to educating us on different at-home tasks with a newborn (bathing, breastfeeding, etc.). She was always available to answer all our questions and provided wonderful resources for reference and local connections for other services.
Silvia has a nurturing, relaxing presence about her that put both my husband and I at ease. We were instantly comfortable asking her personal questions and having her a part of our birth experience. It was reassuring to have someone available at any hour to answer questions both before and after the arrival of our son. I highly recommend utilizing a doula and especially Silvia for a positive, well-informed birth experience!

Excellent, everything that I was able to learn and expand together, Silvia, clarified all my doubts, the materials (gabations, relaxations and presentation to prepare everything) to which she gave me access shows that there is a lot of love and heart in this preparation.
A professional, her Hypnobirth Course is what every pregnant woman should know to live a pregnancy in tune and prepare with joy and love, without fear of the most beautiful blind date in life, which is childbirth.
Thank you Silvia for giving me the opportunity to participate in this. To learn ... to grow as a human being and a mother, woman. ♡
Our whole family thanks you for this new knowledge ♡

Soy Diana, deseo compartir la experiencia que he vivido en el acompañamiento con Silvia en distintas etapas de mi maternidad, me ha apoyado en distintos momentos y en cada uno de ellos su disposición, transmisión del conocimiento, así como el hacerme sentir tranquila y serena, ha sido una constante; además ha sido primordial su presencia en mi etapa de lactancia, camino en el que surgen muchas dudas y emociones.
Silvia es el vivo ejemplo de la importancia de ser profesional y humana, el conocimiento que tiene ha facilitado inmensamente mi vivencia como madre primeriza. He aprendido detalles que jamás me pasaban por la cabeza y que son fundamentales en el desarrollo de bebé como por ejemplo la diferencia en cuanto a los nutrientes en la leche materna en el día y la noche.
Su guía ha logrado que los momentos duros, emocionales y dolorosos, se conviertan en momentos en los cuales me sienta con fuerza al amamantar a mi bebé llena de seguridad, empoderamiento, y amor propio, me ha enseñado a que lo estoy haciendo bien así como ha solucionar de manera eficaz los baches físicos como las dolorosas congestiones mamarias.
En definitiva ella es la persona indicada para caminar de tu mano en la etapa de lactancia, transiciones de rutinas para bebé, y empoderamiento de una como madre.
