I had placenta pills made twice! The second time was with flavored capsules! I definitely recommend the grape flavor! Both times I also received placenta prints and a cord keepsake! Very beautiful! She is such a kind and loving woman!! I would recommend her services to anyone!!!

I can not recommend Viktorya enough. I have said after my birth with my first child I would never not have a doula by my side and with my 4th I stand true to that statement.

I am a very vocal person about my wants and needs and my labors are no different however with this being a new hospital and with covid still a thing at the time of my sons birth I knew I was going to need someone with as much fire as I had to match and keep things on track.

No matter the amount of planning as in all births things didn’t go as planned however we all regrouped and made it work. I had planned on laboring as long as I could at home, however baby had other plans and I was in full HELLP syndrome and had to be induced. Let me tell you liver pain is way worse than any labor I have ever had.

This change came with way more interventions than we were wanting and also came with a lot more nursing staff than expected. If there is anything you can do for yourself is stand up for yourself. Viktorya and I had spoken many times before that I had issues with people talking over me or “gas lighting” me, I really don’t know why nurses or doctors think that this is okay.

I ended up having a nurse that was gas lighting and as I was in transitioning she was informing the anesthesiologist I wasn’t really in labor and needed an epidural because the doctor wanted me to have one ( that’s another story for a different day). In this moment I looked to my husband then to Viktorya and the look on her face and the fire I was already fighting back had me whip around in a contraction and inform her that I will not be gas lit now or any other time she could ether get on the same page and work with us or she could leave.. she had some words but left. Less than 20 minutes later I had a baby with a very exciting entrance with out that epidural might I add. her after services was a nice change and the amount texts she received from me I should have paid her way more for.

I honestly feel like I have made a friend with Viktorya and will be needing her in the future and can not image a better person or doula to have by my side.

Viktorya was great as a doula. She educated me and my husband a lot and answered many questions over text. During my labor she was supportive and just sat with me providing presence and encouragement. Although I did have to transfer to a hospital due to prolonged labor I have good memories of her support during my labor. She is a great doula and I would recommend her to anyone desiring a natural labor and delivery.
