Dear Krishinda,

I want to thank you so much for everything over the past few months. This birth has been so different from the last two. It has felt much more like a process and I feel like I’ve gone deeper into the experience and I am sure that’s because of how you were able to hold the space.

I remember feeling the change from the first time we met. I suddenly went from just feeling tired to suddenly feeling the magic of the pregnancy and I am amazed and in wonder at how you feel that magic and love continuously for every woman you work with, its such an incredible gift.

You manage to hold that incredibly intricate balance between friendship and professional absolutely perfectly. And that was so unspeakably valuable after the birth when I so needed the love of a friend alongside the confidence and comfort of a professional. I am so grateful for your presence that allowed me to cry when I needed to and pass through everything feeling supported.

I’m totally in awe of the work you do and I wish every woman giving birth could have a similar midwife experience.

I feel so lucky I got to feel that could be in this final pregnancy and birth and I’m so grateful to you.

Lots of love
