About me

Hi!    

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

My decision to become a doula definitely didn't come in one day. Thoughts were 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 childbirth and postpartum doula, and what fascinates me most about this job is that, how a woman prepares her mind and body for childbirth, so she finds the strength and faith to open up to the process. Or how a woman in her new mother role can determine what a baby needs most at this very moment. Sometimes mom needs support, or it's enough to tell her how great she is doing, 
to help trust herself.

​

Iceland is my home since the 2012 year.  I really like floristry and flowers, totally love to read books and recommend others to read more! I'm enjoying traveling alone because I believe this is the best way to keep my mind open and calm.

​

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 surgery 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!
 The third birth was so fast, that we almost didn't make it to the hospital!

Now I believe that with the touch of faith and the power of a good word.  Just make sure that new mothers are paying attention to their feelings and listening to their instincts.
