Doula Daisi
My name is Daisi, I am a mother, postpartum doula (a day doula, night doula), postpartum education and care professional and lactation consultant. I also guide women through mother blessings rituals.
I’ve been always fascinated by the tremendous power that women have. However, I had no idea, what kind of emotional and physical endurance it takes to take care for a newborn 24/7. I hadn't noticed how everyone's attention turns to the baby, once the baby is born and how lonely can a newborn mum be in this situation. I didn’t know how vitally important it’s to support mothers by providing them practical help as well as warmth and care. Although I can say that my children opened for me the gates to the secret garden of boundless love, I must also admit that my birth as a mother has been the hardest lesson of my life. Becoming a mother showed me how much a woman can really carry if she is supported and what happens if she doesn’t have support group around her,

Want to know more about me? You are welcome (sorry, these podcasts are in Estonian):
I want every woman to feel supported. Feminine wisdom and self-confidence can best manifest when a woman is supported and feels safe. The birth of a baby is a wonderful and unique event that results not only in the birth of a baby, but also in the birth of a mother, a father and a new family. A beautiful birth experience and the first months outside the womb, i.e. the fourth trimester, are the basis for a healthy child, a healthy child is the basis for a healthy society.
Dear mother, you are on this journey just several times. You need and deserve as much support and care as your baby. Value this wonderful time, value yourself!
