About me
Hi, I'm Adriana Sina, Birth and Postpartum Doula
I have always been passionate about human development, so I graduated in Pedagogy at the University of São Paulo (USP) in 2015. During my studies, I discovered my enthusiasm and passion for pregnancy, childbirth, newborns, and postpartum. I started my journey as a doula in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil in 2017 and upon moving to Canada I continued my training in Toronto, Ontario.
​
Languages I speak: Portuguese (fluent), English (fluent), and Spanish (read and listen well)

"I have no words to describe my amazing experience with Adriana as a doula!
During my pregnancy, I had issues with my placenta and a breached baby in the last trimester of my pregnancy. I was a bit concerned about it since I was planning to have an unmedicated birth, but Adriana was able to understand the situation from the emotional and physiological side, so I never felt alone during those difficult moments. She also gave me a bunch of resources such as blogs, videos, exercises, and we even had a webinar together to educate ourselves and go through this inconvenience without fear.
During my pre and active labor phase, we had the opportunity to do all the relaxation techniques and exercises previously discussed, so feeling safe, loved, and educated, helped me to reach the unmedicated birth I wanted!
Adriana always goes beyond and would make sure to advocate for your rights and preferences during the entire process, she is the right person to go! Thank you, Adriana."

"Com dúvidas e inseguranças sobre o momento do parto resolvi ter uma doula que pudesse me orientar e me ajudar com meu medo de mãe de primeira viagem. Adriana foi a doula perfeita!
Sempre atenciosa, escutou cada detalhe que eu queria no meu parto. Não consegui ficar sem a epidural mas isso não me fez mais e nem menos mãe que as demais. A epidural foi essencial para mim e, apesar da anestesia, eu consegui me movimentar, então a Adriana me ajudou a fazer os exercícios que ela me ensinou nos nossos atendimentos de prenatal. Ela colocou as músicas que eu havia comentado com ela para eu poder relaxar e descansar até começar o push. Ela não saiu de perto de mim um minuto.
Adriana sempre respeitou e ouviu calmamente meus desejos, monstrando soluções, encorajando e dando suporte emocional. Ter a Adriana como doula foi a melhor experiência que eu poderia ter, e hoje vejo como é importante ter uma doula nesse momento muito especial. Seu conhecimento e experiência foram fundamentais para que a chegada da minha filha acontecesse de forma mais tranquila. Obrigada Adriana por todo carinho, cuidado e atenção comigo e com a minha filha."

Testimonials
"Adriana's support as our doula was absolutely essential for our preparation and delivery of our child as first-time parents. From the moment we connected with her, Adriana's warmth and professionalism put us at ease. She met with us twice, in the comfort of our home, before birth, which ensured we felt confident and prepared (as much as anyone could prepare for our major life change to come!). Her thorough understanding of the various labour-related options and preferences, as well as her ability to clearly explain them to us was educational and so reassuring.
During the labor and delivery, Adriana's calming presence, unwavering support, and expertise empowered us to make the appropriate decisions throughout. She was there for us every step of the way during the 20+ hour labour. Her ability to anticipate our needs (based on our birth plan) and timely advice was invaluable.
Adriana's support continues postpartum. She continued to be a vital resource for us as new parents, meeting with us afterward to show us various ways to care for our newborn. Her hands-on demonstrations, like how to bathe our baby safely, were incredibly helpful and boosted our confidence as new parents.
As an added asset, Adriana is bilingual in both Portuguese and English. This brought added comfort to our Brazilian roots, being able to swiftly switch between languages anytime.
We couldn't have asked for a better doula. Adriana's care, dedication, and genuine compassion made for a positive birthing experience and entrance into new parenthood. We are deeply grateful for her and recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring doula."
