Service introduction

Hi, I am Olena Milirud, Your birth & Postpartum doula. I tailor my approach to meet your needs and preferences, ensuring you feel confident, calm, and supported throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. Whether providing emotional support, physical positioning support, practical advice, or simply being a comforting presence, my goal is to make your birth experience as positive and memorable as possible.

Packages
Birth Package
We start with a free consultation, where we can connect and discuss your hopes and needs for this incredible journey. Together, we’ll prepare through two prenatal meetings to ensure you feel confident and supported. From 38 weeks onward, I’ll be on call, ready to provide continuous care and encouragement during your birthing experience. After your baby arrives, I’ll visit 1–2 times postpartum to offer guidance and care as you settle into this beautiful new chapter.

Olena is a calm, empathetic and very supportive person. She is very well educated in all aspects of woman health and can orient you on all steps of your pregnancy journey. I would definitely trust her as doula and recommend her to my friends and relatives who are looking for such a specialist.

I will be forever grateful to Olena for being by my side during one of the hardest moments of my life. After my miscarriage, she supported me with so much kindness, warmth, and compassion. She didn’t just offer comforting words — she was there for me in every way possible: she listened, held space for my grief, and even went with me to my doctor’s appointments when I didn’t feel strong enough to go alone. Her calm and gentle presence helped me feel grounded when everything felt overwhelming. She never rushed me or tried to “fix” things — instead, she simply walked with me through the pain, reminding me that healing takes time and that I wasn’t alone. Having experienced her care and empathy firsthand, I have no doubt that she will be an incredible doula for anyone lucky enough to have her by their side during birth. Her compassion, patience, and steady presence bring comfort and strength in the moments when they are needed most.

Lena took such wonderful care of me and my baby. It meant so much to me and felt incredibly comforting. Her gentle guidance and heartfelt support wrapped us in love and warmth. I’m truly grateful for her. Lena was an incredible support for our family. Lena is truly the most caring, gentle, and kind-hearted person. We’re so grateful for her help and couldn’t recommend her more.

Lena was an incredible support throughout my journey of motherhood. Even though she wasn’t my doula, she’s been such a wonderful friend — always ready to listen, share her knowledge, and offer calm, thoughtful advice. Her gentle energy and genuine care make everyone around her feel safe, supported, and confident. I have no doubt she brings the same warmth and compassion to the families she works with.

An Incredible Doula with a Heart of Gold I cannot say enough wonderful things about Olena. She is an incredibly caring, supportive, and intuitive doula who brings so much calm, strength, and compassion to every interaction. Her gentle presence and genuine warmth make you feel completely cared for and understood — yet she also knows exactly when to be firm and confident, providing the steady guidance every family needs during such an important time. What stands out most about Olena, is her dedication to constantly learning and growing. She’s always expanding her knowledge by reading tons of research to better support her clients, and it shows in the quality of care she provides. She has a truly big heart and a gift for helping families feel safe, empowered, and loved through every step of their journey. If you’re looking for a doula who combines professionalism, deep empathy, and genuine passion for her work, Olena is the one. She is simply exceptional.
