Testimonial for Olga Maksin
I cannot recommend Olga Maksin highly enough. From the very first conversation, she put us at ease with her calm, grounded energy and wealth of knowledge. Her easygoing nature made every interaction feel natural and reassuring, which was exactly what we needed during such a vulnerable and transformative time.
What truly stood out was the incredible quality and usefulness of her advice. She offered evidence-based guidance that helped us make informed decisions at every stage, without ever being pushy or overwhelming. Whether it was navigating birth plans, understanding hospital procedures, or preparing for postpartum, her insights were practical, thoughtful, and empowering.
She also connected us with excellent resources and references—from helpful reading materials to trusted professionals—which made all the difference in feeling prepared and supported.
Above all, Olga is just a wonderful human being. She brings warmth, empathy, and a quiet strength into the room. Her presence during labor was both comforting and encouraging; she knew exactly when to offer gentle suggestions and when to simply hold space. It was like having a deeply trusted friend who also happens to be a seasoned expert.
My only regret is that I didn’t have her with me during my first labor—her support made such a profound difference this time around, and I can only imagine how much it would have helped then, too.
We’re incredibly grateful for her role in our journey. Having Olga as our doula was one of the best decisions we made, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting family.
