I knew this would get too long, but this is worth the read if you’re here wondering if a doula/Natalya is worth it – I’m here to tell you 10000% she is. Our birth stories stay with us for our whole lives, and having Natalya there to make sure its as positive as a memory as possible will be something you’ll never regret. Natalya is kind, passionate, and so deeply caring – exactly what you need in such a vulnerable time.

Months ago I reached out to Natalya for a consultation meeting, and I knew right after that call that she was going to be the perfect fit to my birth support team. I was envisioning a peaceful/nonstressful home birth, and her demeanor is so calm, but so confident and empowering that I knew she would help me make this vision my reality.

Leading up to the day of delivery she came and did a home visit where we really thoroughly walked through our birth plan, my previous birth story, and Natalya asked us very thoughtful questions to understand me and my husband on a better level. She also taught us some partner-assisted labour positions so my husband was equipped with ways to better support me as well.

On the day of delivery, she was amazing. She came with a big bag of comfort measures, she was ready with really helpful suggestions (ex. Ways to progress labour, words of encouragement, reminders to drink water, trying new movements, etc), and she brings such a positive and soothing energy. She was also great at ensuring my husband was involved and right there by my side too. Together they were an incredible duo and I wouldn’t have had the beautiful home birth that I did without them.

I am truly *forever* grateful to Natalya and the huge role that she played in helping me manifest my positive birth and for her support in my first weeks postpartum.

It is difficult to put into words just how special Natalya is – as a person and as a doula!

Natalya started with us and our twin boys on our second night home from the hospital and stayed with us right through until they were 5 months old. Natalya is an extremely warm and kind person and has such a special way with babies and has a particularly skilled way of working with twins. From the moment we met her, she instilled confidence in us that our boys would be in very capable and attentive hands overnight so that we could rest well. She always listened attentively to our boys’ cues and came to understand their patterns intimately, helping to educate us as well. As a new mom, I learned so much from Natalya and would look forward to our nightly conversations and little teaching sessions on various baby topics such as how to bathe a newborn, baby wearing, how to dress baby appropriately for weather, and so many other topics. If you have the chance to work with Natalya, and certainly if you have twins, consider yourself very fortunate. She will always hold a very special place in our hearts and we will miss her dearly.

Best,

Caitlin
