My name is Natasha, pronouns she/her, mom, gardener, and life-long learner.

I am a Toronto-based International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Certified Lactation Counselor (CBI), completed the Mohawk College Breastfeeding Program, and I am a DONA trained postpartum doula.

The feeding journey looks different for everyone, and there is not one right way to do it.

My name is Ekaterina Mariposa. I am a birth doula, perinatal psychologist, and lactation consultant with 10 years of doula practice and 13 years working as a psychologist. I work in Spain, Georgia, and internationally — online and in person. My clients are often navigating birth in an unfamiliar country, culture, or language — and I know that experience firsthand. I have lived across continents, and my practice grew from that intercultural reality. I speak English, Russian, and Spanish, and I bring both clinical training and deep personal understanding to every birth I attend. My role is not to lead, but to walk alongside — holding space for whatever this birth becomes. Here on Bornbir I am presenting my services online to support you remotely - if you live in the U.S. or Canada, and in person if you are in Europe.
