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!

When Mike and I found out we were pregnant, we were so excited and wanted only the best for our unborn child. We chose the midwife route because we wanted the freedom of choice and the intimate care we could only get from midwifery.
I realized through my journey I was missing something and when my naturopath educated as to what a Doula is and how they can make your birth experience much more relaxing; I knew this is what I was missing. Natalya came into my life 2 years earlier on the professional side; so, when I found out she became a Doula, it was like Fate wanted us to meet. We had 2 prenatal sessions with Natalya. She was so warm and inviting and provided Mike and I with a lot of knowledge during our first session.  She had answers to every question and gave us a few sources to watch. By our second visit, she helped us through various options for our pre-labour and it we had a lot of fun..

On the big day, she literally had to drop everything to be at our side. She was so caring and amazing every step of the way.  Her support was unconditional and it felt like we had an additional family member at our birth. Natalya also came for a post-natal follow up and was happy to help anyway she could. She has become so special to our family and we are forever grateful to Lucas’s Doula!!
We can’t wait to share our next child’s experience with her and I would encourage you to consider Natalya for your birth experience.

Love Always Mike, Karen and Lucas
