Working with Roman during my pregnancy and birth experience was truly a gift. I had the most beautiful and empowering home water birth surrounded by love, peace, and support, and Roman played such an important role in helping create that space. Her presence was calming, intuitive, nurturing, and deeply grounding. I felt seen, safe, respected, and supported every step of the way. She held space for me in such a gentle yet powerful way and helped me stay connected to myself, my body, and the sacredness of the experience. As an artist and deeply creative person, I know this experience will stay with me forever and continue to inspire the way I create, heal, and hold space for others. Roman helped make that possible by helping me feel fully held, emotionally safe, and spiritually supported throughout one of the most transformative moments of my life. I am endlessly grateful for her presence and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, aligned, and genuine doula support.

Roman joined my labor team later in my pregnancy and jumped right in like she had been there from the beginning. I honestly wish I had connected with her sooner because she was phenomenal throughout the entire experience. My midwife was unable to make it in time for my baby’s birth, and Roman stepped in immediately with confidence, calmness, and so much support. She was incredibly helpful emotionally, mentally, and physically during labor. In fact, Roman actually delivered my beautiful baby girl, and I will forever be grateful for the role she played in such a special moment in our lives. Her care, presence, and support meant everything to me. I truly could not have asked for a better doula, and she will absolutely be a part of my next birth journey!

As a first time mother I knew I wanted to walk this pregnancy journey alongside a doula. With no knowledge on the subject I just searched online and I was blessed to find Roman. My husband, mom and I love her so much. She walked us through our pregnancy as a team- educating and inspiring us that we got it and how to be supportive to bring our miracle into the world. I would not have been able to feel empowered or so ready for birth and motherhood without her. We are truly blessed for matching with our forever doula Roman.
