We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ksenya as our doula, and I honestly cannot imagine having gone through my VBAC without her. It was truly a match made in heaven, considering we met well into my third trimester.
As a woman giving birth, there is something incredibly special about having another woman by your side who brings a genuine motherly touch and reassuring presence Ksenya gave me exactly that when I needed it most. She made me feel safe, cared for, understood, and never alone. There was a warmth and tenderness in the way she supported me that went far beyond professional care.
After a previous emergency C-section, approaching an attempt for vbac ame with its own mix of hope, excitement, vulnerability, and uncertainty for me. Ksenya helped me feel empowered without ever making me feel pressured, and supported my choices while remaining attentive to what was happening in the moment.
She also had a wonderful way of supporting my husband. She offered him gentle guidance and reassurance without ever taking away his role or making him feel anything but involved. We both felt that she was looking after us.
Beyond her warmth, Ksenya is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She seemed to understand what was happening at every stage and knew well to navigate the hospital setting as well.
