Every single staff member at Aastrika has their heart in the right place. Each one comes with so much warmth & care.
We are excited about Aastrika (its vision, its practices, and its team). We wish that Aastrika expands and impacts the Birthing experience of every mother. We surely will be patrons to support Aastrika in every way we can.
Special notes:
Dr. Anupama’s push during labor & her tough love made a huge difference in keeping our courage going. Also on Day 3 asking us to go out for a drive was very uplifting & empowering. Thank you for the Badass & Bindass Doctor we needed.
Dr. Aruna is pure Zen. Her calmness calmed us & our baby while we were struggling with breastfeeding. Thank you for the magic touch you gave Bhakti & the baby.
Dr. Janhavi your vision of Empowered Birthing is inspiring & life-changing. Aastrika is a prayer answered for us. Thank you for championing this cause & doing this for the love of doing it.
Dr. Jikmik- You were the reason we chose Aastrika. When we came in 1st just to explore with no thoughts of coming this far for our delivery, it was our interaction with you that made us decide on Aastrika. Thank you for making Pregnancy Effortless, Empowering & Enjoyable. You encourage us to travel, step out & live fully through our 9 months journey.
“Aastrika is the place for respectful maternity care.”
Women are treated with care, love, and affection. Thank you for giving me a happy experience.
“The birth was made comfortable and positive for both me and the baby, and evidence-based decisions were taken aptly and efficiently.”
Kuddos to the post-birth support staff, midwives, and nurses. (Definitely made recovery easier)
The staff was really helpful and very understanding during the whole labour and delivery.
“It was a great experience to have birthed at Aastrika.”
The care provided was respectful. All my questions were answered in a timely manner. All doctors & staff are very friendly and approachable. Thank you!
“What I had in my mind about giving birth was really respected at Aastrika Midwifery Centre,and I felt very supported.”
Every decision of ours was respected as our choice and arrangements were made accordingly.
There was a lot of support from everyone in the team-the midwives, nurses, and doctors. What I take away from this-If women are supportive of each other, I don’t think there is anything we can’t do.
“We felt that Aastrika’s philosophy towards birthing was in line with ours, so we were happy to have our baby at Aastrika.”
Retika was well taken care of and while the process of giving birth can be an unpredictable one with a lot of twists and turns, the entire team led by Dr.Jikmik, were consistently super supportive, communicative and ensured as smooth a delivery as possible.
Special mention-Dr.Anupama for her inputs and support towards the end of the labour and Dr.Aruna for her super great handling of the post-delivery interactions of mother and baby and her continued support afterwards.
Prathima and Suma were very helpful with any queries we had. Even the facilities management team were very prompt and had a great attitude.
The rooms were well designed…There was definitely a familial feel to the place and every face at Aastrika was positive and welcoming”.
We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family.
“I felt respected, safe, in-control and cared for during the entire delivery.”
If you’re looking for a birth centre that provides respectful maternity care and supports natural birthing then Aastrika is a one stop solution for all expecting families.
Choosing Aastrika for the most precious moment of our lives was the best decision we have ever made.It was empowering as well as a life changing experience.
Firstly, I would like to thank the founder, Dr.Janhavi Nilekani for taking me in during the last week of my pregnancy.
I would like to thank Dr.Jikmik,she empowered me to have the birth that I wanted, without whom I don’t think I could have gone through with it.
I felt respected, safe, in-control and cared for during the entire delivery. All my requests were listened to and respected without any judgement.
Having gone through the traditional hospital system upto 38weeks of pregnancy,I can definitely say that the difference between the two is exponential.
The support and care we received from Dr.Jikmik, Dr.Anupama,Dr.Aruna, office managers, midwives, staff nurses are matchless and unforgettable.They treat you with utmost kindness and gentleness when you’re at the most vulnerable point in your life, dealing with labour pains and postpartum.
Words cannot express how thankful We are to everyone there for giving us a wonderful positive birthing experience that we always wanted.
Will continue recommending them to anyone and everyone that I come across.
“Excellent facilities! They have thought of everything a birthing facility might require.I did not find anything that wasn’t available!”
The staff and nurses are extremely friendly and highly professional. Always ready to help with any requirements. No complaints!
Very well informed and patient. The doctors are the best. I have consulted during my pregnancy. They were extremely encouraging and understanding of my needs and were always forthcoming with options, which in my case was a welcome change.
I couldn’t have had a better experience of birthing. I leave extremely satisfied and happy!
