I am so thrilled about your pregnancy and upcoming birth! These are some of the most precious moments of your life, and I would love to help you feel empowered and confident every step of the way.

As a wife and proud mother of four beautiful children, I’ve been cherishing motherhood for 13 years. My personal experience, combined with my deep passion for birth work, has shaped my journey as a doula over the past decade.

When you choose me as your doula, you are gaining someone on your team who lives and breathes birth work, bringing a wealth of knowledge, confidence, and experience across a wide range of birth scenarios.

Whether it's confidently navigating complex medical situations, unmedicated births within the hospital walls, or collaborating with midwives to create a peaceful, spirit-filled birth experience outside of the hospital, I am here to meet your family's unique needs.

My advanced doula certification through VBAC link equipped me to support moms experiencing a surgical birth or pursuing a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).

There are a few things I prioritize when supporting births: Education - equipping families to prepare for their birth-day. The atmosphere - moms safety & comfort at all times. The body dynamics - utilizing Spinning Babies protocols and Rebozo work to help your baby move through the pelvis and/or troubleshoot a malpositioning. Moms rest & nutrition - because maternal exhaustion is #1 reason for interventions in childbirth. The mindset - helping you win the battle in your mind, to process fears and support your mental health, so you can tune into your birthing experience without unnecessary distractions. The partners - equipping dads to be confident in supporting their partners. The memories - I provide professional maternity and birth photography to my clients.

Humbly, I provide bereavement services to families experiencing pregnancy loss and/or stillbirths. I am passionate about holding space in the depth of grief and despair and will gently guide you to complete the circle of motherhood for your baby, regardless of circumstances.

With all my heart, Doula Dasha.
