I moved to the UK in August 2004 and initially worked as a care support worker with highly dependent patients. Originally from Grodno, Republic of Belarus, I trained and worked as a dentist before my journey led me to birth work.

Becoming a doula was a deeply personal calling. My first daughter was born at home in 1999 in an incredible and transformative water birth. In contrast, my second daughter was born in a hospital in 2015, where I experienced a stark difference in care and a lack of support. This contrast ignited my passion to study and train as a doula. I immersed myself in learning and was fortunate to find an experienced and inspiring doula mentor to guide me.

I have been working as a birth doula since 2016, gaining extensive hands-on experience before completing my Doula UK recognition process in 2019. Over the years, I have supported couples and single mothers through various birth experiences, including natural home water births, vaginal births in labour wards and birth centres, successful VBACs, and both emergency and planned caesarean births. I firmly believe that birth knowledge should be accessible to everyone and that education plays a crucial role in preventing birth trauma. To support this, I run a free group, Breakfast with a Doula, where I meet expectant mothers, answer their questions, and help them make informed choices that feel right for them.

I am trained in rebozo techniques and deeply believe in its power to bring comfort and support to pregnant and labouring women. At the heart of my practice are respect, kindness, and empathy—essential tools in every aspect of life. I prioritise listening with deep care and supporting each woman in the way she needs, recognising that while birth is a universal experience, every journey is unique. I am honoured to stand beside mothers during this profoundly vulnerable, powerful, and transformative time in their lives.
