I have supported low-income families through the BC DSA volunteer doula program.
Hi! I’m Olsy (Olesya, to my fellow Eastern Europeans), and I’d love to keep you company on your journey from pregnancy to parenthood. I consider it an honour and a privilege to work with people in this liminal space. Whether it’s your first baby or your first labour in this country, my mission is to help de-mystify the uncertainties of the process to make you feel confident in your labour and birth. I’m a big physiology nerd! Outside of birthwork, I’m a science communicator, so I like sharing fun facts and the latest research on labour, birth and early child development with my doula clients. I firmly believe that being informed means being empowered in birth. Whatever your birth wishes are, I’ll be in your corner, helping you feel comforted and heard.

We had a great birth story and we are very grateful that we were able to share it with Olsy! She is very friendly, open, and easy going. I liked our coffee chat when we got to know each other's stories. She was supportive all the way through the last weeks of my pregnancy. She was reaching out first and was helping me cope with my doubts and fears, as well as provided necessary medical information when needed! During labour she fought for me to get a room with a bathtub :D We couldn't have done it without her! My husband shared that he felt very supported by Olsy during labour. Me as well! It's awesome to have awesome "teammates" in such a life changing experience as labour. Thank you for this wonderful experience, Olsy!

Thank you, Olsy, for making my birth experience as stress-free as possible! It was a wonderful, calming and reassuring experience having you as a doula. You are both knowledgeable and caring. I don't think I'll be giving birth again in the future, but if I was, I would not hesitate to use your services again. Thank you! I will also be sure to recommend your services, if anyone I know is planning on having a child. :)

Olsy was so incredibly supportive and helpful leading up to and during the birth of my son. My husband and I are first time parents. Olsy anticipated my needs and brought a calm and grounding presence to the birth. On a moments notice, she came over to our home and made a huge difference to my experience of the labour pain. Olsy was also incredibly helpful in providing guidance and a mental framework around approaching decisions during later stages of the birth. My partner and I highly recommend Olsy.
