About me
Hi! My name is Yasmina. As a DONA-certified Birth Doula based in Greenwich, CT, I offer my clients evidence-based and curated support before, during, and after labor. From helping you make your birth plan that ensures you communicate your cultural, medical, and personal preferences to your care provider during labor, to working you through breathwork during those tough contractions, my aim is to make my clients' births special, sacred times that reflect their values and unique personalities. I am also trained in Spinning Babies techniques, lactation support, and Baby and Child First Aid. I offer my clients a very hands-on approach to birth support. I take my job as a birth doula very seriously and give my all to every birth I attend - emotionally and physically.

Ratings and reviews
I’ve worked with Yasmina as my backup doula, and she has been wonderful—caring and knowledgeable. I found it easy to trust her, as she welcomes feedback and is eager to learn. She also creates a supportive space for reassurance and validation. Yasmina is an excellent doula; you won’t regret working with her, whether as a client or colleague. I witnessed her wholeheartedly support a client in labor, and her dedication is truly inspiring.

Yasmina provided overnight postpartum doula support when our daughter was 2-3 months old. She was born prematurely and struggled to sleep for long stretches at night. We are so thankful for Yasmina and the incredible work she did! She provided informed care for our little one and taught us strategies for improving her sleep. It was a challenging time for our family and Yasmina supported us as parents too. I highly recommend working with Yasmina!

Yasmina was my postpartum doula and helped to take care of both me and my baby. Thanks to her I was able to take naps during the day while she cared for my baby, and she even made healthy meals and snacks for me that my toddler enjoyed too. I adopted much of the healthy food choices that she introduced me to and even after her services have ended I feel equipped to make quick, healthy meals for my family. My baby and toddler loved her and her warm spirit.

Yasmina is such a wonderful human being with a caring heart. Having her support made my journey so enjoyable and not to loose my confidence on giving birth naturally. I honestly felt like my own sister was taking care of me, especially when I was in pain during laboring. She made me feel comfortable and worked tirelessly , so I won't give up on myself. She is so sweet, will go above and beyond, to make your needs met, and very knowledgeable. I am so happy and feel so lucky that she was part of my birthing experience . I will be definitely recommend her to my mama friends. ❤️
