A few weeks ago, I made a desperate anonymous post in a this group about struggling to get my baby to latch. As a first-time mom, I felt overwhelmed, emotional, and honestly, a little hopeless. That’s when Viktoriya reached out to me.
She shared that she had been a midwife back in Ukraine and now is going through certification process as a doula. She offered to help. Viktoriya and I arranged to meet the very next morning
and from the moment we met, her calm and kind presence put me at ease.— warm, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She didn’t just help to understand where is the problem with latch (which she did beautifully!), but she also comforted me, reassured me, and gave me confidence when I needed it the most.
She explained everything clearly, gave me different options to try, and most importantly, made me feel like I could do this. Her attitude was calm, supportive, and never judgmental — exactly what I needed.
Viktoriya followed up with me afterward, asking all the right questions, and a few days later, she came again to check on us. She didn’t rush anything, even waited patiently while baby slept — and that day, our baby latched again, and has been latching ever since.
We have talked about all the important things: feelings, sleeping options, baby’s cues, my diet and self care, support system and everything I wanted to ask.
I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without Viktoriya’s support. She was a blessing during a really vulnerable time, and I’m so grateful for her help, her heart, and her dedication.
