Natalia Wozniak

Hi, I’m Natalia, a birth doula who supports families with presence, calm, and care during one of the most transformative moments of their lives. My calling is rooted in a deep love for emotional support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, as well as a profound respect for the physiological and ancestral wisdom of birth. My journey began while studying nursing in my home country, where clinical practice awakened a strong respect for the human body. I later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences, giving me a solid foundation in anatomy, physiological processes, and interdisciplinary collaboration. While my role as a doula is non-medical, this background allows me to communicate effectively with clinical teams and provide holistic, clear, and evidence-informed support. I’m passionate about non-medical approaches that support the natural progression of labor, as well as the mindset, calm, and inner focus that help birthing people move through labor with confidence and empowerment. I deeply believe that everyone deserves a respectful, informed, and supported birth, and my approach is gentle, warm, and connection-centered. // Hola, soy Natalia, doula de parto, y acompaño a las familias con presencia, calma y cuidado en uno de los momentos más transformadores de sus vidas. Mi vocación nace del amor por el acompañamiento emocional durante la gestación, el parto y el posparto, y de un profundo respeto por la sabiduría fisiológica y ancestral del nacimiento. Mi camino comenzó estudiando enfermería en mi país y realizando prácticas clínicas que despertaron en mí un gran respeto por el cuerpo humano. Más adelante, completé un Bachillerato en Ciencias de la Salud, lo que me brindó una base sólida en anatomía, procesos fisiológicos y trabajo interdisciplinario. Aunque mi rol como doula no es médico, esta formación me permite colaborar con el equipo de salud y ofrecer un apoyo integral, claro y respetuoso. Me apasiona aprender y aplicar formas no médicas de apoyar la progresión natural del parto, así como la mentalidad, la calma y el enfoque interior que ayudan a atravesarlo con confianza y poder. Creo profundamente que cada persona merece un parto informado, respetado y acompañado, y mi enfoque es suave, cercano y basado en la conexión.

Elizabeth Varaso is a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, a DONA Certified Birth Doula and the mother of four very ornery children ages three to twelve. She originally came to Philadelphia 21 years ago to complete her MSEd in Psychological Services from the University of Pennsylvania and to serve at-risk children and families in the Kensington community. Following a decade in community outreach work, Elizabeth discovered an unexpected calling as a birth professional after being profoundly impacted by the birth of her own children. In particular, the experience of adding a doula to her team of caregivers gave her a vision of how satisfying a well-supported birth could be. ​ As a doula, Elizabeth has served over 80 birthing families which has given her experience and insight of the inner-workings of most of the city's major hospitals. Her first three children were born at The Birth Center in Bryn Mawr and her fourth at Pennsylvania Hospital, so she has a special fondness for helping families prepare to welcome their babies there. In her 8 years as a childbirth educator, Elizabeth has taught hundreds of expectant couples in group, private, virtual and hybrid formats. She is certain that she has the VERY best job in the world. It's Elizabeth's desire to provide empowering, evidence-based childbirth education and strong, gentle & loving doula support to other birthing people and their partners with the hope that they will not just cope, but thrive through their childbirth experience. Elizabeth is pleased to serve people from a variety of backgrounds and seeks to honor the sacredness of each pregnancy journey and birth by respecting the needs, goals and values of each individual birthing person. She hopes that her calm and confident demeanor, her enthusiasm and optimistic outlook will help make the adventure of preparing for childbirth an enjoyable one!

I'm not just a childbirth educator and doula; I'm a passionate advocate for the power of informed, empowered birthing experiences. My own journey into the world of birth work was deeply personal. As a mother of three, I've walked the path of childbirth, experiencing two hospital births and one powerful home birth. It was my home birth experience that ignited a spark within me – a spark that would lead me to pursue training as a doula and create childbirth classes. The power of birth is profound. It's an experience that can transform you, inspire you, and change the way you view your own strength. My own experiences have been the driving force behind my mission to help others discover the depth of choices available in childbirth. At Mama Led Birth, I offer a range of services designed to guide and support you on your own unique birth journey. Whether you're seeking a home birth, a personalized hospital birth, or simply a greater understanding of your options, I'm here to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need. My services include online and in-person childbirth classes that cover a wide range of topics, as well as doula support – both in-person and virtually. My goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your birth experience. I firmly believe that every expecting mother deserves to know her options and feel in control of her journey. Birth is a deeply personal, transformative moment, and I'm here to ensure it's a beautiful, empowering experience for you.
