I’m There For You

  • When your hands shake changing that first diaper

    I’ll reassure you and help you master new skills quickly.

  • When you're figuring out feeding, sleep, and other mysteries of the new baby

    I’ll help you get the cues, build everyday skills, and guide you toward confidence and comfort in daily care.

  • When you're flooded with conflicting advice on just everything

    I’ll ask the right questions, bring evidence-based information, and help you find what feels right for you.

  • When you need an extra pair of hands

    I’ll be happy to fill in the gaps, without taking on the role of nanny or housekeeper.

  • When you need time, space, and support to heal the body

    Because recovery is real, and it takes time.

  • When you need someone to talk to

    All ears. No judgement. Pure support.

How I Doula

  • NJ counties: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Union

    NYC: Manhattan, northern parts of Brooklyn

    NY: Rockland county, Westchester county south of Tarrytown—White Plains

    1. We’ll start with a quick call to see if we're a good fit and check my availability. To schedule, just fill out the form or send me a text.

    2. Then we’ll hold a 1–2 hours pre-birth meeting with your family. This is essential to get to know each other, set expectations, and craft a calm, tailored plan. (Already had your baby? No problem—we’ll do it anyway.)

    3. Now we’re all set to start the postpartum support. It typically lasts for 2–6 weeks, 4 days a week, 4 hours a day. We can be flexible as we go, with each week pre-payed.

    Every family is unique. Once we settle on a schedule, we’ll sign a simple agreement—just to make it official and stress-free.

  • I provide no medical services. As a doula, I can't even take the baby's temperature! I'll always advise you to see a doctor when needed and share any resources I have.

    Unfortunately, I'm uncomfortable around large dogs. Even the friendliest ones. If there's a dog larger than a golden retriever in the household, I won’t be able to support you as you deserve. I hope you find another great match!

    No overnights. With age, I lost the ability to stay awake through the night and still provide the care I aim to give.

  • For the next two clients, the price is $35/hour. There are no packages or discounts at this time.

  • Deposit: $350, non-refundable, due by the first meeting. Covers the pre-natal meeting and the first half-week of care.

    Week prepayment: Each week must be prepaid based on the agreed hours for my visits.

  • Cancellation terms:

    • Except for emergencies or force-majeure, the deposit is non-refundable.

    • Weekly prepayments are non-refundable, but prepaid hours can be rescheduled or transferred based on my availability.

    Refunds are available if:

    • I must cancel my services (only in emergencies or situations where I feel unsafe), or

    • An emergency occurs in your family that makes my services unnecessary.

  • In the beautiful month of June, in case that matters!

  • I speak fluent Russian and English, and know a bit of German, French, and Portuguese. I’ve lived in Russia, Israel, and the US.

  • Yeah, I've seen it all—diapers, puddles, hormone floods. I remember my hands shaking over my first tiny human. That’s exactly when I wished for support, and it’s what drives me as a doula today!

  • I breastfed each of my children for over two years each, including tandem nursing my younger two. (Every parent’s path is personal—I’ll support whatever works for you in terms of feeding!)

  • I’ve also cared for two newborns not my own, for periods ranging from one day to a couple of weeks. This taught me creativity, cooperation, and adaptability.

  • In November 2024, a friend of mine gave birth. She was alone, far from family, and she was 47! She just felt ready, and she did it. I stayed with her and the baby for a week. In the middle of that week, I discovered postpartum doulas were a thing—and I knew it was for me.

  • In January 2025, I completed a postpartum doula course (and a 3-hour lactation element) with Ann Grauer (accredited by DONA International). I’m working on my DONA certification now.

    I’m also a mediator and a coach (aspiring to certify with ICF). This background provides me with powerful tools to promote understanding between family members and support you while you build skills.

    I hold CPR certification, including pediatric.


    Grief-informed. Neurodivergence ally.

  • My goal is to empower you as parents, making your parenthood less stressful and more enjoyable. Through my work, I aim to enhance cooperation, compassion, and humaneness. Whatever happens, I want you to know: you've got this; and you're not alone.
