HypnoBirthing, Doula, & Post Partum support.

I had the pleasure to do the HypnoBirthing course with Alejandra in a private setting and afterwards she was also my doula. I cannot recommend her enough! She has so much knowledge, wisdom and warmth in her, she guided me according to my needs, she listened, confirmed, encouraged, and never made me feel uncared for. Her intuition is on point and she does her thing wholeheartedly. I wish I had Ale with my first birthing (which was really long and exhausting) but at least I got her now with my second one. I have so much appreciation and love for my experience with Alejandra.

Doula support

It is amazing feeling when you get to know first time that you are going to be parents, One finds out cultural difference, medical system difference and more over one misses family support too, well we had the same worries when we got to know we are going to be parents, there was excitement at the same time we were worried about how are we going to do it  without family support, then we heard about a Doula it was a new concept for us. But when we met Alejandra through video call, She clarified all our doubts.

She congratulated us, and asked us not to worry at all instead advised us to start enjoying the process/journey, She was really friendly, She asked us what do you want me to be for you during this period, I can be your family support, I can be friend , I will help you out in any manner that you need in this journey.

Alejandra would come time to time to know about well being of Mother and baby, She helped my wife with breathing technique which was very important, She always cracks jokes to make you feel better, We had a great midwife practice and Alejandra, She would always talk to my wife about positivity during pregnancy period and how important it is to feel connected with baby, we knew that we are in good hands and whatever is the situation she is there to guide us.

Then comes the D day, my wife started having contraction and I immediately called Alejandra and there she is in middle of night with her own car so that we do not need to worry about transportation in night. She came up with all the essentials stuff that makes mother feel comfortable during labour (like comb, some special pillow etc), She took us to the Hospital and there she was constantly talking to my wife, trying to make her laugh with some jokes or with some funny incident that we all encountered. I was holding my wife hand on one side and Alejandra was holding my wife hand on other side to let her know that we all there with her .

My wife was in really big pain and I was not able to see my wife like that so we decided to take pain killer, but the expert to give pain killer would come little late (after 1.5 hour), then they suggested us to take another pain killer and then we looked at Alejandra, she told my wife to take a shower and then decide, Alejandra is expert, She knew it that shower helps a lot and definitely better than pain killer, My wife started taking shower and at the same time Alejandra suggested me to start praying or chanting mantras (whichever I know ), trust me it really helped, then by the time my wife came out of shower, She was fully dilated in 20 min and in next few minutes baby was in our hand. I would say. My wife is really brave, when she heard that pain killer might have some side effect on baby, she chose to bear pain and at the same time , Alejandra’s advise of taking helped her.
I would say, without Alejandra probably we would not be able to deliver baby naturally, or I can say that we had this thing in our mind that Alejandra is there so nothing will go wrong, there is some one for us, She has become now part of family and I am really thankful to her. We love Alejandra 🙂

I am writing this to help all those people who are living far away from their country and feel worried about pregnancy, about culture differences or any other issues, please have guidance of Doula, It is worth it and you will really be proud of your decision of taking Doula service through out your life.

HypnoBirthing, Doula 2 times and Post partum support

My two beautiful birth experiences

For our first pregnancy, my husband and I attended a lovely HypnoBirthing course. We learned a lot during this course, and I also felt that I wanted her as our Doula. She explained during the course that she also offers Doula support. We had a connection during this day. At first, we did not know what a Doula is and does. As she explained further, and even before the course was finished, I already knew I wanted Alejandra as our doula. We met after the course to discuss our wishes. During our birth, we immediately connected the way we wanted, and it gave us the trust to give birth our way. It also gave me a sense of peace. I really wanted a natural birth, and so we did. Alejandra supported us during my pregnancy, during childbirth, and after birth. I felt

like she is part of my family now and she still is since we met. She was with me the whole time and gave my partner the support and guidance he needed.

Not long after our little girl was born, I got pregnant with my second child. And guess what, Alejandra was my doula again. This was not a question; it was a desperate feeling that I wanted her again next to me and my family. And oh my, she was so helpful in guiding me during my contractions. I thought at first it’s going to take a long time, just like my first birth. But she made sure that I should call my midwife, and yes, she was right. She was on the phone asking me, “Did you call your midwife? Is she on her way?” I was still thinking I had time to clean and go to the store. And again, she was there to support and say the right things. She even sent me affirmations. When the midwife came, I was already 9 cm dilated. I could not believe it. There I was, almost fully dilated. She made sure that she could be there during my second birth in the hospital. And she made it despide all. Again, she was a big support to my husband and me, of course. We did some Rebozo, breathing, affirmations, massage, and I took a shower, and then I felt I needed to push. We had the most amazing magical natural birth. I can’t imagine giving birth in the hospital without her. Can you believe she was on time to help me during that last part on time? After she came with us home, and we ate some lentil soup made by my mother. She stayed for hours to make sure I was fine, the baby was fine, and my older girl. She was there for both of my natural births.

Also, postpartum, we did some steaming, massage, warm oils, and many beautiful things that are so important for a new family. The love, the care, silence, holding the space, help, massage, food, and just someone who guides you through motherhood. As we can say, my family gained a beautiful friendship that I will keep for a lifetime. We are so happy that Alejandra was our doula for the amazing support and experiences we will cherish forever. All the best.

HypnoBirthing

We took a private HypnoBirthing course with Alejandra from Sacred Mother. What a fantastic start to our HypnoBirthing journey! From day one, we immediately clicked with Alejandra. Her positive energy was contagious, and her professionalism and experience were immediately apparent. Alejandra does her work with passion and

from the heart, making us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She is truly more than just a HypnoBirthing coach. My partner, despite his open-mindedness, initially did not see the added value of a HypnoBirthing course. After the first lesson, however, he completely changed his mind. Alejandra had made him aware of the impact of his presence and, especially, his role during pregnancy and birth. Additionally, through Alejandra, he understood how beautiful a birth process can be when viewed from primal strength and utilized accordingly. Our private course was very well organized. The lessons flowed smoothly into each other, and the information was clear and easy to understand. Despite Alejandra having a schedule planned for us, she created enough space for our personal needs within the course. During the course, we practiced multiple techniques and learned about various births, which we found very helpful. These techniques, including breathing and visualization, were incredibly valuable during my pregnancy and especially during birth. Alejandra helped us, thanks in part to the videos and assignments, to turn our fears and tension into self-confidence and positivity. She also emphasized that we could rely on our primal inner strength and the natural birthing processes. Because of the above, after each lesson, we looked forward to the next one, and after the last lesson, we looked forward to the birthing process with confidence and joy. We had a beautiful birthing process, where I could harness my primal strength. I had full confidence in my body, and with each contraction, I reminded myself that each one was bringing me closer to my baby, as Alejandra had conveyed to me. Because my partner was aware of his role during pregnancy and birth, I was able to turn inward and focus on my body. I was completely zen. Overall, the hypnobirthing course had such an impact that we almost felt like Alejandra was with us during the birthing process. I would undoubtedly recommend Alejandra’s course to any pregnant woman who wants to learn how to confidently and calmly take control of her body during her birthing process. It helped us overcome our fears and trust our bodies regardless of the situation. We are incredibly grateful for this. We want to thank you again, dear Alejandra!

HypnoBirthing

Hi Alejandra, I followed the hypnobirthing course with you and have now given birth to our son Bodhi almost 6 weeks ago. Wow, what a difference compared to the first birth! I was able to relax very well during the dilation, and my husband helped me very well. It was truly a special experience. During the last few weeks of my pregnancy, I listened regularly to the hypnoses and didn’t really practice much with my husband. We did discuss some things, though. When the contractions started, I

had to figure out what position I liked best and stuff, but that became clear very quickly. On the bed on my side with the CD on. My husband gently stroked my arm and leg in between, and during the contraction, he applied some pressure to my lower back. When the midwife arrived, I was already at over 5 cm after 3 hours. I wanted to give birth in the birthing center in Harderwijk, but in consultation with the midwife, we decided to stay at home because we were so relaxed, and things could go quickly. And after a little over half an hour, I dilated another cm. I was still very relaxed. I listened less to the CD and was more in the moment. When the contraction became a bit intense, I listened to the words of the CD and was able to relax. The midwife actually left us alone most of the time because things were going so well. When my mother joined, it was only a small hour before I could start pushing. I had 10 cm dilation but I handled it very well. The transition to pushing was a bit of an adjustment. Last time, I had an epidural and experienced it differently then. But still, it went great. He was born after 9 minutes! Afterwards, I heard that my mother and the maternity nurse didn’t believe that I was ready to push because I was so relaxed. By the way, the whole labor took 5 and a half hours. They say you don’t have pain with HypnoBirth, and that’s somewhat true because the experience is different. You don’t label the contraction as pain, so to speak. You don’t know the word pain, so to say. You are completely in the present moment, and even between contractions, you don’t think that the next one will hurt. You are fully in the moment during your labor, so you accept everything as it is. The experience becomes very different because of that. I have truly gained a beautiful experience and want to thank you very much. Warm regards from Laura

HypnoBirthing

My husband and I took a private HypnoBirthing course with Alejandra from Radiant Mama. Alejandra was very relaxed with the times, so she came to us on Sunday evening. After calmly discussing what we were going to do and what our needs were, we started with the exercises. If we didn’t understand, she demonstrated, which was nice for the learning process. We also liked that she didn’t strictly follow the book, but followed us in our needs and what suited us as an exercise. The course provided us with a lot of tools to get started when the contractions finally started. Thanks to our hypnobirthing course, the birth was not a painful experience but especially an experience of calmly encountering our second daughter. The entire labor was loving and conscious. Thank you, Alejandra, for your guidance and patience.

Love, Semra & Mustafa
