“Truly a hidden gem..”
Dewi is what every pregnant couple NEEDS, and for us especially with our first pregnancy. Living in Indonesia, I was looking to give birth in Singapore knowing that the healthcare professionals and facilities would be better suited for us. Dewi helped us kickstart our journey to birth remotely via online teleconference from Indonesia, all the way until we arrived in Singapore. I am a type 1 Diabetic and thus automatically considered high risk and a candidate for induction and C-section - which we wanted to go with a natural birth as much as possible. I really don't think I could have had a stronger and more supportive superwoman on my pregnancy > birth > postnatal team!
Dewi is absolutely amazing. I really believe she goes over and beyond her duties as a doula. She is incredibly responsive, timely, organized, and knows what to do and when. I love doing yoga before pregnancy, so being able to attend her prenatal yoga classes was also just the cherry on top of the icing. So much of what she does is holistic from mental well-being, to research, support, guidance, and listening. She took her time to get to know us as a couple embarking on our new journey as a family and soon-to-be parents.
She provided us with all the birthing tools and protocols that 100% I believe helped us have such a successful preparation for our pregnancy. She was able to encourage me every step of the way, focusing on visualization putting my mental state in the right place, calm, in control, and safe. She helped me and my husband navigate to the healthcare team challenges in a productive and positive way, thus reducing a lot of stress. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the birthing process from not only the physical perspectives but also the scientific-based understanding of your psyche throughout the whole process and how important that is. Dewi was our biggest cheerleader - I really again don't know how we would have done this without her.
Everyone NEEDS a Dewi on their pregnancy team! I couldn't recommend her enough, and I don't easily make recommendations unless I truly 100% believe in what or who I am recommending. I would trust Dewi with all my pregnancies and also postpartum. She helped me work through my challenges with breastfeeding and was the constant voice of reassurance that we were doing great! That boost of confidence does a lot for a couple during postpartum where all you do is worry about your tiny human. She helped with methods and strategies around nursing that saved us! I could honestly go on forever about how much we loved working with Dewi. She is truly a hidden gem. I'd work with her on my pregnancy team again should we decide to further grow our family. Big thank you to Dewi for being our partner in crime and bringing our baby boy into the world safely. It means the world to us! Dewi is truly a person we can put our full trust in and we are so grateful and lucky to have found her amongst the numerous doulas out here in Singapore.
