How to play with a newborn (0-3 month old)

I cannot begin to tell you the amount of times I have heard “They are just babies! They eat, sleep and poop“. This phrase is used all too often and makes me feel as though some people see babies more as objects than as a human who is growing and developing cognitive function on a…

Natalya is warm, supportive, and a complete professional. My husband and I were anxious about being first time parents and the birth process, and Natalya helped us every step of the way. From our first at-home class together, Natalya listened to our needs and was patient as she helped prepare us as a team. She was so knowledgeable and gave us detailed explanations and demonstrations. When it came to deliver, after going through a marathon of multiple inductions, Natalya went above and beyond to make us feel supported and comfortable at the hospital. Nurses even commented about how great she was. When our only option left was a cesarean section, she jumped right into being my support person and stayed by my side during the surgery, even though this ask was outside of her responsibilities and previous experience. She did so wonderfully, and I am so thankful for her calm presence and encouragement during that challenging time. However, her support did not end there. Natalya continued to follow up with us to see how baby and I were doing weeks and months after her contract had ended. I especially appreciate how she checked in about my mental health and offered solutions for the challenges we were facing. It is clear that Natalya truly cares for her clients and is so passionate about her work.

If you are on the fence about hiring a doula, know that Natalya is the best there is and she will make your journey feel special and much less stressful. We are so thankful for her role in welcoming our baby girl to the world!

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.
