Intro to childbirth in Finland
Doula service
Marjaana was the perfect doula for my husband and me. She got to know us, our hopes for our son’s birth, and helped us write down a simple birth plan that made our wishes clear. Her experiences of giving birth both in Finland and in the United States made me feel like she understood where I was coming from. She was a natural addition in the labor room, and I was able to focus completely on the important task of bringing my son into the world. If I give birth in Finland again, I will want Marjaana there!
