I want to thank Iryna for being my doula on the most special day of my life. From the very beginning, she was by my side, guiding me with her calming presence and helping me cope through each wave of pain. Her words of encouragement and gentle reassurance gave me the strength I didn’t know I had. She created a space filled with trust and warmth, where I felt truly supported and empowered. I’ll forever be grateful for her care, compassion, and the role she played in bringing my baby into this world. Thank you, Iryna, for everything!

We feel so lucky to meet Iryna, and work with her to prepare for my first childbirth and delivery. I contacted Iryna when I was in my third trimester of pregnancy. At that time I realised I need professional help and support to be ready for my first labor. We had an instant connection, and I knew I want to work with Iryna and there is no need to interview other doulas. Iryna and I met several times in person to get me educated on birthing process, what to expect, and how to cope with pain. We talked through my preferences and created a birth plan. Iryna was always on call and checking in with me frequently to know how I feel, if there are any changes, and to make sure I feel supported and all my l questions are answered. There is no words to describe how important was Iryna’s role on my delivery day. I was in labor for 20 hours. Iryna was there with us all the time and provided tremendous support during such a vulnerable times. She was there wearing multiple hats and ready to jump on any task. Most importantly, Iryna created an amazing environment for labouring, was there with me during each contraction and was doing everything possible to help relieve my physical pain and ensuring I am feeling emotionally safe - guiding me on breathing, walking with me, using tens machine, calming music etc. She played a huge role and ensured I did not have a traumatic labour experience. Our relationship didn’t end on my delivery day. Till today, I feel welcomed to contact Iryna with any questions related to my recovery or new life with our newborn baby. We appreciate you so much, Ira! Thank you for everything you have done for us. I wholeheartedly recommend Iryna to any expecting mom.

I am delighted to share my wonderful experience with Iryna, who provided exceptional support throughout my childbirth. From the moment we met, Iryna was compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to my needs and concerns. Her calming presence and expertise were invaluable during labor, making the entire process smoother and more manageable. Iryna was always available to answer my questions, offer emotional support, and provide practical advice, both before and after the birth. I was particularly impressed by her ability to advocate for my birth plan and ensure that my wishes were respected by the medical staff. She created a peaceful and empowering environment, which made a significant difference in my birthing experience. I highly recommend Iryna to any expecting parents looking for a dedicated and caring Doula. Her professionalism and genuine care have made a lasting impact on our family, and we are forever grateful for her support. Thank you, Iryna for being an incredible part of our journey!

Hello . I want to share the experience of my childbirth with the support of Ira 🥰 I gave birth for the first time and it was very scary. My husband and I were planning a partner birth, but who knows if he will get sick 😅 I was worried that I would be able to give birth myself without all kinds of interventions, so that the doctors would not harm me. Plus I don't speak English very well. That's why I was looking for a doula who could support me. I found Ira, we met and she immediately inspired trust. A very nice and pleasant girl. And what was important for me was that she had her own birth experience. We discussed all the details of how I present my births. She knows a lot of information (yes, this information is on the Internet, but it's worth talking about it again) So Ira supported me throughout my pregnancy. If something bothered me, I could turn to her and she helped and reassured 🌸 When I needed her help at a doctor's examination, she went with me. She gave me 💯 support. Here came the day of meeting with 👼🏻I felt the first contractions at 12.30 at night, but I waited... I called Ira at 3 in the morning and she answered right away 🥰we agreed that whenever I wanted she would come to my house (45 minutes drive) At seven I called and asked to come, but all this time she wrote to me, supported me. At eight o'clock we were already on our way to the hospital. While my husband was parking the car, Ira brought a stroller so that I wouldn't have to walk. At the registration they ask a lot of questions, and I have to concentrate on the fights. Ira also helps here. When they took us to the room to give birth, Ira supported me and said exactly those words to me!!! which I needed. Of course, my husband was also supportive 😊but he was very worried))) and could talk to me during the fight, which was distracting. So, during labor, my husband was behind the screen (I wasn't feeling well 😁) Ira was with me, reminding me how to breathe, when to strain)) and here I am holding my little angel in my arms 😇 everything was as I wanted. Next time only with Ira. PS She stayed with us after, helped to put the baby to the breast. I also took photos and videos during childbirth. A few days later, she came home to show how to take care of the baby. Irochka, thank you ♥️. I had a pleasant experience of my childbirth.
