My name is Alina, and I am a birth and postnatal doula based in London. I moved to the UK from Moscow in 2011, and both of my children were born here, at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital and St George’s Hospital.
My own experiences of physiological birth without medical intervention were deeply transformative and inspired me to support other women through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. I believe in informed choice, trust in the body, and gentle, respectful care. During labour I support women with breathing, movement, acupressure, visualisation, and emotional presence.
As a doula, I offer calm, non-judgemental support, evidence-based information, and space for women and their partners to feel confident and empowered. I also provide breastfeeding support and can use rebozo techniques during pregnancy and labour to support relaxation and optimal positioning.
