KIND WORDS

"Paulina was very helpful in assisting me after my surgery as well as the day of. They were my support person who came with me to the hospital (actually drove me!) and stayed with me after surgery. I was much less alone and it was so nice to have them there with me. It was nice to have someone's hand to hold when I was scared or overwhelmed during the process. They also helped me get home and stayed the night with me which was really helpful. They included sweet touches including a bouquet they brought me the day of surgery, a homemade healing tea blend, and a medicine/ supplement suggestion list. I do believe the OTC items were a lifesaver in helping decrease bloating and helping with overall comfort and ease afterwards! I don't think I could have done this without them. I think everyone should have a doula for gender affirming surgeries and I'm so glad I did!"
