About me
Supporting families during pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks with a newborn is not just my profession — it is work I deeply believe in.
As a certified birth doula and certified breastfeeding specialist, I guide families through one of the most meaningful transitions in life. My role is to provide calm, knowledgeable, and compassionate support so parents feel informed, confident, and cared for throughout pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period.
My approach is holistic and family-centered. I work not only with mothers, but with the entire family, helping parents navigate birth, feeding, newborn care, and the emotional changes that come with welcoming a baby.
I believe that when families feel supported, respected, and empowered, the experience of bringing a baby into the world can become a foundation of confidence and connection that lasts far beyond the early weeks.

Parental Empowerment Program
From first Days to Lifetime
I don’t just care for your baby, I teach YOU how to be the expert your baby needs.
Most families feel overwhelmed when they return from the hospital. My mission is to bridge that gap. In just 14 days, I provide a structured hands-on training that transforms your postpartum experience from "survival mode" to "confident parenting."
What we will master together:
The Science of Sleep: Understanding infant cues and creating a sustainable sleep environment for the whole family.
Household Logistics: Setting up efficient feeding and changing stations to save you time and energy.
Feeding Independence: Whether you are breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or both—learn the techniques that work for your unique situation.
Hands-on Care: Mastery of bathing, swaddling, and soothing techniques so you can handle any situation with ease.
Partnership Protection: Strategic planning for nights and chores to ensure both parents get the rest they need.
The Goal: By the end of our time together, you won’t need me anymore. You’ll have the skills, the routine, and the peace of mind to enjoy your new life.
Parental Empowerment Package
This package is designed for families who would like structured support during the first two weeks after birth and includes:
5 in-home visits
4 hours per visit
Scheduled within the first two weeks postpartum
Hands-on guidance with newborn care and feeding
Time to answer questions and support both parents
Because I provide personalized, in-home care, availability for this service is limited each month. Early booking during pregnancy is recommended.
A deposit is required to reserve your postpartum support window.
Some families realize they need support only after returning home from the hospital. When availability allows, I offer urgent postpartum support visits for parents who need immediate guidance with feeding, newborn care, and the transition to life at home.
Starts at $1500

Testimonials
Tanya was my postpartum doula when I was a first time mom. She was a life saver: a gentle, helpful presence that gave me a perspective and made it possible to go to the shower 😀 She did light cleaning and cooking - which was so appreciated! She took care of the baby for a little bit while I took a shower, ate, or took a short walk. If you ask - she will give you advice and tell you how other mothers eg swaddle a baby, feed, burp etc - but only if you ask. It was a blessing to have someone so experienced and non judgmental when I was at my most vulnerable. Thank you Tanya 🙏

From the very beginning, Tati brought not only expertise but also calm, reassurance, and genuine care. My husband and I had no family around when our baby was born, and those first weeks were incredibly exhausting - our little one wouldn’t sleep for more than two hours at a time.
Tati was truly a godsend. She supported us through those long nights so that I could get at least a few hours of uninterrupted sleep, which made an enormous difference for my recovery and well-being. She was also the one who gave our baby his very first bath - a moment that I will always remember and she did it with so much care.
Beyond the practical help, she shared so much thoughtful advice and guidance that helped us feel more confident as new parents. Her presence was calm, warm, and deeply supportive during a very vulnerable time for our family.
I cannot recommend Tati highly enough to any family looking for a postpartum doula. She was truly a gift to us during those early weeks.

I was very anxious before my first birth, but thanks to my doula, Tati, the whole experience became much easier and more positive. Tati visited us at home before labor, showed me techniques to help ease contractions when they started, and gave me a sense of confidence, calm, and reassurance that everything was under control. After the birth, she came to our home again to support me and answer my questions. She also helped me when I was having trouble with my milk coming in and was experiencing breast pain.
During labor, Tati stayed in constant contact with us, patiently answering all of our questions and helping us understand what was happening. When it was time to go to the hospital, she arrived very quickly. The pain was so intense that I felt like I would not even make it to the labor and delivery unit, but her professional support and “magic” techniques helped me stay calm and make it through until I received the epidural.
My labor was long, and after we arrived at the hospital, it continued for another full day. Throughout that entire time, Tati stayed by our side and never left me alone. In those moments when we were in the room without nurses, she kept supporting me and helped me not give up. Thanks to her confidence and care, I was able to have a vaginal birth. Without Tati, I most likely would not have endured it and might have agreed to a C-section under pressure from the doctors.
I am endlessly grateful to Tati for her professionalism, kindness, and support. She made an incredibly difficult process so much easier, and I know for certain that I could not have done it without her.

Tati was the main reason I was able to get through my long delivery unmedicated, as planned. I love her calming energy and her toolbox of things to try to ease the pain was super useful, she has an amazing technique with contrapressure and massage. Those were crucial when contractions intensified. My partner who tried to help before she arrived became much more effective after he saw what she was doing and how. We worked as a team and I had a successful vaginal birth at a hospital with no interventions and no epidural.
Forever grateful for her presence and help.

We are incredibly happy that we chose Tatiana to support us during birth. We truly feel like we got extremely lucky, because we would not have managed this experience the same way without her. From the very beginning, we appreciated that she gave us clear instructions on how to work through contractions at home and explained everything in detail. We arrived at the hospital at the perfect time, and she came right away to meet us there. Thanks to her magical hands, I didn’t feel the pain and intensity of the contractions nearly as strongly. She suggested that I wait just a little longer before getting the epidural and helped me get through the contractions so that my dilation progressed enough for the birth to move quickly. And that is exactly what happened — from the moment we arrived at the hospital to full dilation, it took only about three or four hours. During pushing, Tatiana was incredibly caring, attentive, and truly helpful. The hospital staff often consulted with her, which was amazing for us because we didn’t know all the steps or what to expect next, and she always offered great, practical advice. We are beyond happy that we chose her for such an important moment in our lives. We genuinely, wholeheartedly recommend her — it was the best decision we could have made. Her postpartum home visit was also incredibly helpful.
Honestly, we don’t even know what we would have done without Tati. Our baby turned out to be quite big, but the birth went smoothly, and we will remember this experience with joy.

Мы не могли быть счастливее, выбрав услуги Тани для помощи при рождении нашей дочери. Хотя наша дочь родилась намного раньше срока, Таня была с нами на протяжении всего многодневного испытания. Еще более впечатляющим было множество мелочей, которые Таня принесла в больницу: термос с пряным чаем, вентиляторы, надувные мячи для поддержания правильной осанки и многое другое. В деталях кроется дьявол, и Таня определенно мастер в этом. Наконец, что, возможно, еще важнее, мы почувствовали, что у нас есть “друг в мире родов”. Хотя медсестры и врачи были профессиональными и вежливыми, они не были с нами так, как Таня. Эмоциональная поддержка очень важна в такие моменты. Настоятельно рекомендуем.

Татьяна помогла мне родить моего третьего ребенка в это сложное время COVID. В нашей больнице разрешили присутствовать только одному человеку, и я решила, что это будет Татьяна, так как мой муж заботился о наших детях. Это было одно из лучших решений в моей жизни! Огромная помощь, когда ваш помощник действительно понимает, что происходит :))) Она добрая и заботливая, знает множество методов обезболивания. Она заботилась обо мне до, во время и после родов, поэтому я чувствовала себя намного спокойнее и увереннее. Послеродовой массаж просто чудесен! Спасибо, Татьяна.
Катерина, 7/12/2021
Таня — замечательный человек! Несмотря на то, что я ожидала третьего ребенка и подготовилась ко многим вещам, Таня поделилась со мной множеством полезных ресурсов. Она помогла мне узнать о дыхательных техниках, позах для родов, массаже и медитации. Она такой человек, который сделает все для своего клиента. У меня были предродовые схватки в течение четырех дней, и она всегда была на связи со мной. Я могла написать ей даже посреди ночи и получить необходимую поддержку. Она оказала мне огромную эмоциональную и физическую поддержку. Она помогла мне пережить боль и родить ребенка без медицинских вмешательств. Я не могла быть счастливее. Я настоятельно рекомендую Таню, потому что она настоящая доула!
