natasha's bio

Natasha is a highly experienced Certified Advanced Postpartum Doula who deeply understands how exciting, vulnerable, and challenging the Fourth Trimester can be. She has supported hundreds of new parents and growing families since she began this work in 2012. She also has two children of her own.

Adapting to life with a newborn takes time, loving-kindness, patience, and, as the wise ancient proverb goes, “a village." Natasha became a postpartum doula and a lactation counselor after the birth of her second child to help change the go-it-alone landscape of postpartum care in America. It is her mission to help families with newborns feel supported, cared for, and confident. She believes this support is essential to the wellbeing of our families, culture, and the planet. She wears many hats on the job: grandparent, lactation counselor, healer, newborn expert, baby wearer, sleep specialist, sounding board, babysitter, housekeeper, chef, nutrition guide, dog walker, companion, cheerleader, and more! Her goal is to give families, in particular birthing parents, the support they need, physically and emotionally, to connect with their baby(ies), get on their feet, and thrive—long past the Fourth Trimester. In a nutshell, she is the village.

She lives in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, NY with her husband, two daughters, bernedoodle, and guinea pig. She enjoys long walks in nature, hot cups of tea, meaningful conversation, and cooking healthy, delicious, and nutritious foods for her family, friends, and postpartum clients.

 What Others Are Saying

Natasha was everything I could have hoped for and more in a postpartum doula. She was kind, thoughtful, and intuitive to my wants and needs in the early weeks of motherhood when I didn't know up from down. She is so intelligent in all things baby, breastfeeding, and postpartum health. Beyond that, she was always doing little things to organize our home or make sure we had healthy food to eat. I can't imagine our first few weeks without her and will be eternally thankful for the strong & graceful support she offered.

-Bree

Natasha is a baby whisperer and angel who changed our lives. Thanks to her guidance and support I was able to exclusively breastfeed and grow confident as a new mother. Natasha helped me process my birth, taught me how to take care of myself and my daughter, kept me hydrated and fed, gently managed visitors, prioritized naps for me, did the dishes and laundry, and, most importantly, listened deeply when I needed an ear. My husband and I are eternally thankful to her for her kind presence, wisdom, and compassion during a very vulnerable time in our lives. Natasha is THE BEST!

-Yukari

Entering motherhood was wonderful, but also very scary for me. I needed a compassionate, wise, patient person with no personal agenda to really help me through those early weeks and months and that is what I found in Natasha. Her knowledge on very specific matters regarding breastfeeding or sleep was matched by her ability to be totally emotionally present and supportive when needed. We were really in need of a mix of compassion and know-how that I’ve rarely encountered and Natasha brought all of that.
