For my first pregnancy, Natalya was our backups backup and ended up attending the birth. Even without ever having met before, we instantly felt so comfortable with her by our side as she supported us through the labour and birth of our first baby.

A couple years later pregnant with baby number 2, we knew instantly we would love to have her by our side again. She has the most calming and positive energy and put us at ease in these most intense moments of our life. She is so knowledgeable in all aspects of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and really made us feel confident that we were in very good hands. Her guidance throughout my labour, both times, helped me to achieve the natural childbirth I had hoped for. She was also wonderful in guiding my husband in ways that he could provide support to me throughout my labour. She worked so well alongside my midwives they were even asking for her contact information afterwards as they had never worked with such an amazing doula before. Without a doubt, if you are looking for a doula, Natalya will not disappoint. She is an incredible person with so much passion for what she does which clearly shows through all her work. Thank you Natalya!

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
