About me

_MG_7572.jpg
Hi!    

 My name is Sindija, I am wife and mom to two daughters. 

My decision to become a doula definitely didn't come during one day. Thoughts was piling together for a long time until one day I was able to describe in one word what I want to become (and what I have been for many, many years without realizing it).


I am a childbirth and postpartum doula , and what fascinates me most about this job is that how woman prepare mind and body for the childbirth, so she finds the strength and faith to open up to the process. Or as a woman in her new mother role, she can determine what a baby needs most at this very moment. Sometimes mom needs support herself, and some good word about how great she is doing as well, then I come up to it…

 

I have lived in Iceland since 2012. Deep in my heart, I still love floristry and flowers whenever I can - I do it. I love to disappear in the book world until midnight. I love traveling alone because I believe this is the best way to find and understand your true ME.

​

My childbirth experience -

I had a planned c-section section with my first daughter. I felt strongly the stumbling blocks of the Latvian system when I was alone and scared in the operating room. No loved one could stand by and hold my hand.
With the second daughter there was no indication for C-section, so I had a great opportunity to be 'on the other side', to be in the care of a doula in childbirth. It was a fantastic experience, all my worries were gone, my husband felt much more secure .I felt like I had a support team!

 

Now I believe, with the touch of faith and power of a good word, I am confident that every woman can give birth by herself. Just make sure that new mothers are paying attention to their feelings and listening to their instincts.

My philosophy

​

  • I think you should be given every chance to have the safest and healthiest environment for you and your baby;

  • You should have access to accurate and clear information about your birth options, and no one should use scare tactics to discourage you from your own choices.

 

II believe in the power of women and their willingness - as an important aspect of cooperation with you, I have to strengthen your self-awareness and help you learn to trust your instincts, your body and your choices.
