“Dasha is a gift to mothers and babies. I love her voice, her presence, and humour. I’ve told her I wish she was my mother! You are in good hands.”

Meeting Dasha and having her as my doula was such a beautiful gift. She is one of the most caring, empathetic and warm people I have met. Since our first meeting she showed an amazing availability to accommodate my needs, preferences and desires. As a yoga teacher she taught me prenatal exercises that brought me well being and helped so much in the preparation for birth. Her warmth and extremely supportive attitude left me feeling much more confident and relaxed to wait for my first labour and go through it. She's just wonderful as a person and professional, I feel very lucky to have met her and to have had her as my doula.

We were lucky enough to have Dasha’s support with the birth of our son in July. Our sessions with her leading up to the birth were immeasurably helpful, particularly as we navigated a complication that led us down the path of a cesarean birth. She was able to join us in the operating room and took the most beautiful photos during our son’s birth. Her support with feeding and navigating the newborn period was amazing. She has the most calming and kind presence and we couldn’t imagine this journey without her.

We had Dasha as our doula for our little one Oliver. I had a rough pregnancy and knew I needed a deeper level of support for not only myself, little one but also my husband. We got that in spades with Dasha and she has become a support person even after Oliver came earth side. She was with us during my 23 hour inducement and labour, she supported us when we were struggling afterwards being new parents. What also made a big difference to us is the prenatal and post natal appointments. Becoming parents you put so much of yourself into preparing that you as people get left behind and we did al ot of work on remembering ourselves, our partners and taking our mental health as a priority. We also booked our maternity and delivery photos with Dasha and I can definitely say these are the most beautiful, emotional and validating photos our young family have ever had taken. Thank you for being a part of the biggest moments of our lives and thank you for the overwhelming support and thank you for continuing to be a safe space to come to, I know whenever I need you you're just a click away with your calm and supportive presence and it's so greatly appreciated. Absolute bundles of love from Oliver, Kim and Cole ❤️

We hired Dasha to support us for the birth of both our children. She was amazing- knowledgeable, kind and such a calming presence. For our second child she also provided post-partum doula support which was a big help after my C section! We are so grateful to have had her support.

We were so glad to have Dasha at our home birth. She has a calming presence and utilizes a variety of birth positions/techniques to help baby get into an optimal position during labour. We were so glad to have Dasha advocate for us during our labour. Even though we ended up transferring to the hospital, she was there to encourage and stand by us. It was also wonderful to debrief with her postpartum. I highly recommend Dasha!

Brandon and I had a really great experience working with Dasha. She listened to what we wanted during our visits and had the tools and information needed to make labour a good experience. You never really know how you're going to react to labour and what you're going to need at the time. It was nice just having her there as a support person giving me ideas of positions that might help with the pain. We can't thank her enough for the experience she helped us have!

Vanessa & John

Thank you Dasha for the incredible maternity photos! Not only did we enjoy the time we spent with you, we have these beautiful photos to cherish. You had so many great ideas for shots, you are a very experienced photographer. I recommend you to all of my friends!

Dasha was a key part of bringing the twins home, she joined us at the hospital for encouraging words and calming presence, also giving me advice when I needed it, but not overwhelming me or ever making me feel like she was telling me what to do. For a first time mother, I really appreciated all her honesty, and the way she would suggest things and show me things for the first time - she was never impatient with me, teaching me key things to make our babies safe and healthy at home. I loved her visits postpartum, really helped me not be isolated and have good conversation with another mother. I really enjoyed our time with Dasha and would recommend her for any new mother.
