"We found Ugne very down-to-earth and easy to get on with from the first introductory chat. She was a great practical support during our birth preparation - she helped with everything from loaning us books from her personal library, to sourcing a birth pool and TENS machine.
During the birth itself Ugne was a calming presence, giving us space to labour peacefully but stepping in when we needed more support. This was both on the emotional side (holding space for us during decision making moments) and practical (massage, aromatherapy, snacks, and more).
Ugne was always focused on supporting my voice and my choices without imposing her own views or perspective. I felt very empowered during my birth and I believe Ugne's presence as our doula was a big contributing factor to that positive experience."

​​​​"Ugne was a huge source of knowledge, support and guidance from the moment she became our doula. From answering our many questions about different aspects of the birth process, to holding us physically and emotionally during labour, to providing delicious homemade food in the postnatal period, Ugne's calming and knowledgeable presence was invaluable.
We will be forever grateful to Ugne for the role she played in welcoming our little one into the world and have no hesitation in recommending her to other parents."

"Ugne was a reassuring presence when we needed it the most. She made herself readily available and was part of our team from the beginning, and gave us resources we did not realise we needed.
Our experience of having a doula made us look at pregnancy and birth in a different, more appreciative way. Ugne enhanced our confidence in making sure our voices were heard, like ensuring our birth preferences were read and respected. Our birth journey changed, and each step of the way we were able to assert ourselves and consent to the next step. She really advocated for us.
The postnatal period was made easier with her thoughtful visits, where she brought us delicious homemade meals. She supported us in many different ways and we are so glad our paths crossed. We highly recommend her!"

"Ugne’s support around our birth was invaluable. We felt comfortable with her from our first meeting and she helped us go into birth feeling well prepared and supported.
With us having no family nearby the visits and meals afterward were a big help too.
We would happily recommend Ugne to any expecting parents."
