Birth Doula Service

Women have been cared for and nurtured during pregnancy, birth and postpartum from the beginning of time. The word doula means woman caregiver. Nowadays we use this word to describe a trained and experienced professional who supports the family before, during and after childbirth. As a birth doula I provide physical, emotional and informational support, including:

• Support and education during pregnancy
• Position ideas for comfort and labor progression, cross over with hands-on comfort measures like comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques, relaxation, aromatherapy and other “doula magic” for families
• Easing the emotional experience of birth and helping to create a space where the hormones of labor can work at their best, whether a birth is completely unmedicated or medically very complex
• Every birth partner support in being as involved as they would like
• Providing evidence-based information to make informed decisions about birth and advocacy for the very best care
• Early postpartum visits and consultations

,,Olesia was immediately responsive when I reached out to her telling her my labor was starting, despite the late night hours. She was calm and incredibly helpful and supportive over the phone and arrived at my house shortly thereafter where she was both physically and emotionally supportive. She always helped my husband remain calm and put together a plan for getting to the hospital. This was not an easy task as this was both my husband and my first experience with labor and both of us were feeling stressed and in need of her guidance. I arrived at the hospital fully dilated and the medical staff seemed a bit frantic, which began to stress me out. Olesia was there to calm me down and seamlessly assist in communications between the medical staff and me. She advocated for me every step of the way and ensured I understood everything that was happening.

Olesia checked in on me regularly following the birth and came to my home a few days later when I let her know I was ready. She arrived with homemade snacks which were prepared with my specific allergies in mind. She was so calm and caring during such an emotional time for me. I also was dealing with a very painful engorgement and was feeling very miserable. She was able to give me techniques to ease the discomfort and helped me set up and use my pump so that I could relieve the engorgement. The relief I felt after her assistance with this is indescribable. She was truly a miracle to me that day as she was throughout our entire interaction throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

I honestly cannot imagine going through pregnancy, birth and postpartum without Olesia. She is clearly so passionate about what she does and it shows in how thoughtful, caring and thorough she is. I never felt rushed with her; she answered all my questions so thoroughly and completely and made me feel so validated and cared for every step of the way. My husband also expressed his deep appreciation for her and all of her support and expressed he cannot imagine having gone through that without her either! She is such a special person and never ceased to amaze me with her patience and genuine care throughout my entire time working with her. ,,
