«Tanyusha, hi, my dear! Once again, I want to thank you for this celebration of the soul that you gave me! I wished I could go back. 😁 I've already immersed myself in everyday life again—work, responsibilities, and taking care of my child. But I've noticed that my 'inner observer' has become much more active. It gently looks after me and helps me filter what is truly important for me to do and what isn't. Overall, since the wrapping ceremony, I've been treating my body and myself with much more care and tenderness. And I think this is only the beginning. What else might be possible? 😁🙏 So, thank you with all my heart. The beautiful bouquet is bringing me so much joy as well. 🥰😘 Sending you a big hug, my dear.»

«I’d like to share my birth and postpartum recovery experience with doula @TatyanaYusova. My husband and I decided that we weren’t ready for a partner-assisted birth, but we knew we wanted professional support throughout the process. Shortly before my pregnancy, we had moved from Singapore to Lisbon and were still unfamiliar with the local healthcare system, so friends recommended Tatyana to us. I can confidently say that choosing her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Tatyana is a true professional. Thanks to her support, knowledge, and the work we did together, my birth went exactly as I had hoped. Before the birth, we had four prenatal sessions at my home. During each meeting, Tatyana explained every stage of labor, possible medical interventions, newborn care, breastfeeding, and many other important topics. Those sessions felt like a complete childbirth education course. They gave me confidence, answered every question I had, and replaced my fear of the unknown with a sense of calm and preparedness. My labor began during the night between Saturday and Sunday. Early in the morning, we called Tatyana to let her know we were on our way to Hospital Luz. She arrived around 11 a.m. and took over from my husband. That day, she truly became my guardian angel. Tatyana created such a peaceful, comforting atmosphere in the delivery room. She put on calming music, dimmed the lights, and her wonderful hot water bottle helped me get through the most intense contractions. We made it all the way to full dilation without an epidural. However, after a sleepless night and many hours of labor, I knew the pushing stage was still ahead, so I decided to have an epidural to regain some strength. Throughout the entire experience, Tatyana stayed by my side, offering constant support. Immediately after my daughter was born, she helped me latch her onto the breast correctly. Thanks to her guidance, we established breastfeeding and a proper latch from the very first moments. After we returned home, we had five postpartum recovery sessions. They included herbal baths with custom herbal blends prepared specifically by Tatyana, as well as massage. I had been struggling with significant lower back pain after giving birth, but after just the second session, it had almost completely disappeared. These treatments helped me recover physically much more quickly, regain my emotional balance, and feel genuinely cared for during such an important and vulnerable time. If you're looking for a caring, experienced, and truly professional doula, I wholeheartedly recommend @TatyanaYusova.»

«Good afternoon! I'm giving birth soon and I chose @TatyanaYusova as my doula. I am very pleased with Tatiana's professional approach to this process. She takes it very seriously, which was incredibly important to me. We completed a course of 4 classes, where we discussed all the nuances of natural birth, C-sections, breastfeeding, newborn care, interventions, etc. It's a whole science, and going into it unprepared in a foreign country is a big mistake. YouTube videos are fine, but that's not the same knowledge. Therefore, I highly recommend Tatiana to everyone.»

«Hi Tanya! A week has passed since my swaddling ritual, and I wanted to write to you and share my feelings. I am so happy that I did this ceremony with you 🙏 I feel significantly calmer, lighter, and happier than before. The feeling that everything is fine with me and the baby has returned, and there is less anxiety. Yes, I'm still not getting enough sleep and I get tired, but I'm already in a completely different state.»

«I gave birth with @TatyanaYusova last autumn and I am so glad! I haven't received this much support and help in my entire life. It was especially necessary after giving birth. I have never been so satisfied with my choice, I highly recommend her.»

«My birth took place accompanied by Tanya Yusova as my doula, and I am very grateful to her❤️ We met twice before the big day and clarified all the points, discussing different scenarios. One meeting was with my husband. And it was vital for us; we managed to internalize the process together and share the responsibility between the two of us. During labor, Tanya was by my side the whole time, her confidence and calm were of immense help. I knew there was a person I could lean on right now, with whom everything was under control. Although I made all the decisions myself, Tanya kept me informed and supported. But the main thing I felt was her total acceptance. I could experience contractions in any manifestation, 'everything is allowed, and everything is absolutely normal'. This was incredibly precious. And after the birth, Tanya made me a delicious hot tea🥰 I remember the birth with empathy and euphoria. It was powerful. Thank you, Tanya❤️»
