Hi! I'm Katya, a labour, birth, & postpartum doula serving the Vancouver (BC) area ✨. I provide compassionate, evidence-based, trauma-informed, and culturally-responsive care that is supportive, educational, and non-judgmental. You can rely on me for physical and emotional support, and to be provided with any and all information to empower you and your family to make informed decisions and play active roles in your labour, birth, and postpartum experiences. I will meet you where you’re at and support/advocate for your choices. I aim to offer nourishing care and come in with an open and receptive heart; to be present with you during your birth and/or postpartum journey and hold space for these sacred moments! In 2024, I received my doula training from Cornerstone Doula Trainings and I'm in the process of becoming a Certified Doula(!). I also partner with Brood Care, Western Canada’s most trusted birth and postpartum care agency, and I'm a proud member of the Doula Services Association of BC. In addition to my training, I am also CPR/AED and Emergency Child Care First Aid certified.
