Voices of gratitude

Verenice understands that the birthing journey begins long before delivery. Her guidance brought my partner and me into an intentional, embodied practice, helping us transition our baby from womb to world with love and purpose. Throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth, I found myself confronted with long-buried fears, and Verenice gently helped me unravel them, layer by layer. Over time, she guided me to learn to recognize fear and then shift it into presence, reimagining the sacred ritual of labor as a celebration. Through her support, I discovered strengths I never knew I had, stepping into an elevated version of myself. Now, when I reflect on my daughter’s birth, I smile with awe that it was the adventure of a lifetime.Bringing a baby into the world challenged my body in unprecedented ways. Verenice’s somatic wisdom helped me connect with myself, allowing me to approach each moment with compassion and gratitude. She was deeply attuned to my needs, adapting in real-time and offering practical tools for every stage of the journey. It’s beautiful how she helped me bond with my baby.

 Through her guidance, I learned to communicate with my baby in our symbiotic body’s language—feeling her movements, sensing her needs, and fostering a connection that felt mystical. She taught me to listen to her, creating a bond that began long before we met face-to-face.Her presence during labor was attuned— grounding me spiritually and helping me move through contractions with the breath and movement practices we’d prepared. She guided me to navigate the unknown, respond to pain, and surrender to the present moment, all while staying by my side. Her intuition and expertise were uncanny; she knew exactly when to apply pressure, suggest a position change, or offer a word of encouragement.  Her process continually invited my partner into being energized with an active care for my body and emotions. He was grateful for her presence, and also how she helped him understand what real presence meant in this unprecedented context. Verenice is more than a doula—she’s a birthing transition ceremonialist. Her unique blend of intuition, knowledge, and care made my experience sacred and empowering.Now, as I reflect on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I feel no regrets—only transformation. 

Thanks to Verenice, I’ve emerged from this journey renewed, more deeply connected to my body, my baby, and the profound act of bringing life into the world. She didn’t just guide me through birth; she helped me undergo a profound alchemy, leaving me forever changed in the most beautiful way.Bringing a baby into the world challenged my body in unprecedented ways.
