Aprašymas
Esu dula nuo pat dulų judėjimo Lietuvoje pradžios 2013 m. Vedu paskaitas ir užsiėmimus besilaukiančioms, lydžiu šeimas į gimdymą. Gimdymo metu padedu moteriai sumažinti stresą, nepasimesti ligoninės sistemoje, labiau pasitikėti savo kūnu. Vyrui padedu atrasti tinkamiausią būdą pagelbėti moteriai. Jei yra poreikis, padedu šeimai tvarkytis su tėvystės iššūkiais pirmosiomis savaitėmis. Taip pat esu diplomuota kūno terapeutė (IBMT.lt), šiuo metu studijuoju kūno psichoterapiją (IKPI.lt). Individualiose terapijos sesijose padedu susidraugauti su kūnu, pasiruošti gimdymui emociškai, atrasti vidinių resursų, perdirbti ankstesnių gimdymų patirtis. Su vyru auginame 3 sūnus nuo paauglio iki studento. Keliauju savo asmeninę kelionę nuo prigimtinio švelnumo, globėjiškumo link drąsos. Dalyvauju Europos dulų tinklo veikloje, taigi išmanau tarptautinį kontekstą.
Above and beyond –
I am so grateful we chose Vilma as our doula for the birth of our first child. Her compassion, care, and support went beyond all expectations. Not just during the birth, but before and after as well. I wanted to give birth with no pain medications and minimal interventions. Vilma helped me achieve that through my ~20 hours of labor with assisted movements, her knowledge on the process, and her emotional support. She also enabled my husband to be involved in the birth. Without her support and knowledge, I truly believe my labor would have ended with an unplanned C-section instead of minor interventions. I also hired Vilma after the birth to help me since I was in pain and my husband had to leave, and she went above and beyond there as well: she made me food and other remedies to help the healing process, allowing me to just focus on bonding with and feeding my baby. Though we only considered a doula for the first child, we would hire Vilma again for the next birth — she was such a blessing. I will recommend her to every woman I know who plans to have kids. Thank you so much, Vilma, from the three of us.

Lyna –
We couldn’t have made a better choice other than Vilma, even our baby was a little late just to wait for her to attend our birth, we chose her and he chose her.
She prepared both my husband and I by showing him how to best support me and she helped me with exercises.
Her knowledge, love, compassion and ability to make things serene and calm was exactly what I needed to go through the birth of my first child, and even when things didn’t go as I planned she found ways to ground and comfort me.
She respected my choices, she gave me space to be and have my own experience while offering the best support, even making food for me the day after I gave birth.
Her energy is unmatched, and we are extremely happy she was able to attend our birth, and hopefully the birth of all our future children.
Sincerely, thank you Vilma.
