What the Mamas are saying:
I asked Frida to be my birth keeper at my second free birth because I wanted a female presence, apart from my husband. She supported me so well in my post-partum by coming over every few days and taking care of the entire household while I could rest with my newborn.
R.K., Montreal
Frida was an absolute godsend during my TTC, pregnancy and postpartum journey. She gave extensive information and advice on natural medicine to help my body support a pregnancy when I was struggling. She was always available to give advice and comfort when I wasn’t sure what I was feeling during my pregnancy and without her my dream birth without medical intervention would never have been possible. Her own birth story helped me know my body was made for this and I could get through it beautifully if I just trust my instincts and intuition. She was also able to answer any and every question I had after birth without judgment. I cannot recommend her support enough.
N.D., Germany
Frida helped me to prepare for my birth by providing so much valuable insight of what it would be like to give birth in the hospital. Although I knew she had birthed at home, she provided me with factual and important information that encouraged me to advocate for myself in the hospital environment.
