"You were the reason I lasted that long and ended up having the experience we did. It wouldn't be the same without You. Your presence, advice, support, personal care and communication with the hospital staff were above excellent. You brought with You not only tools and knowledge, but love and security. All felt deeply." Ania S.
“Guidance, breathing techniques and counter pressure - presence of mind to guide me on how to advocate for the type of birth I wanted” Soumya R.
“I had such a great experience with you by my side. I couldn’t have done it without you!”  Sonia H.
"Olga made my labor easier than I could have dreamed of! Overall experience was exceptional. I appreciate Olgas scientific based approach and knowledge."  Mariia S.
"Could not have done this without Olga, she definitely made me feel more comfortable and confident as a first time mom going through this experience for the first time."  Jennifer H. Full review at DoulaMatch
"Our doula was amazing support. My baby was 10.3 lbs and the first hospital was pressuring me for a c-section, and honestly it felt unethical. With Olga's guidance, we switched hospital, which we didn't know was possible. She encouraged me, gave me confidence and reminded me to trust my body. Thanks to her, I was able to deliver my big 10 lbs baby safely and naturally in a supportive environment."  Aizada E.
“I like the way she had a plan for everything and reassured me for all my questions and needs. I definitely would recommend her, she was a blessing to have around during such a memorial moment." Adriana L.
“Thank you for yesterday, all the help and support. I'm really happy we could do it together.”  Gal P.
"Olga always helped us whenever we felt overwhelmed or didn’t know what to do. She did extra research for us and provided multiple suggestions. She was very patient with us and took extra time to explain us our options, pros and cons of different options." Narine K.
“Olga helped us to negotiate with the nurses for a position that would help with progress. After doing that baby descended to a great position and i was able to only push for 18 minutes!!
I cannot recommend Olga more, and think anyone would benefit from working with her!”  Holly L. Full review at DoulaMatch
“We are so grateful for Olga’s incredible support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She worked seamlessly with the doctors and nurses at Stanford and helped us feel confident and cared for every step of the way. We welcomed a healthy baby girl and would absolutely partner with Olga again.”  Wesley T. Full review at DoulaMatch
“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.” Olga R. Full review at DoulaMatch
