Certified birth doula

The miracle of childbirth
with Peace and Confidence

Based in Vancouver, WA

Welcome!
I’m Doula Albina

I believe that pregnancy and birth are sacred, God-designed experiences—natural, powerful, and deeply transformative. Every pregnancy is a unique journey, both physically and spiritually, and each mother deserves to be nurtured, empowered, and surrounded by love and encouragement to have a peaceful birth.

As both a mother and a trained birth professional, I combine personal experience with evidence-based knowledge to guide and support you throughout your journey. I offer continuous emotional, physical, and informational support, as well as unlimited phone and email communication—whether you have questions, need reassurance, or simply need a listening ear.

I also believe in the importance of family-centered birth. A loving and supportive birth team, including a strong and involved partner, can make all the difference in creating a peaceful and positive birth experience. I seek to empower not just mothers, but also fathers and partners, helping them feel confident in their role and fostering deep connection during this sacred time.

Childbirth is not an illness , but a powerful and natural experience that brings life into the world.

I believe that birth should be approached with peace and confidence, free from fear or worry. Every woman has the right to make informed choices about how and where she gives birth, whether in a hospital, birth center, or at home.  I am committed to providing unwavering, compassionate support, creating a safe and nurturing space where every mother feels empowered to embrace the birth experience she envisions.

Testimonials

  • “Albina was a blessing throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, guiding me with knowledge and support. She responded quickly when I went into labor, creating a peaceful environment and ensuring a positive birth experience. Her prayers and care for both me and my husband made everything even more meaningful.”

    Anastasia K.

  • “After my traumatic first birth, I knew I needed a supportive advocate for my second birth, and Albina was exactly what I prayed for. She provided invaluable support, answered all my questions, and even prayed with me, making the experience truly meaningful.”

    Rachael B.

  • “Мы с мужем приехали с Украины и забеременели уже здесь, в Америке. За профессию доулы я никогда не слышала и не планировала брать ее к себе на роды. С Альбиной мы познакомились случайно и начали работать аж на 8м месяце моей беременности. Но ми все успели согласовать и решить. Она прекрасно объяснила мне как проходят роды в Америке, чего ожидать и к чему быть готовыми. Мы обсудили все варианты развития событий.  Так как наш английский язык не идеален, Альбина была так же нашим переводчиком в больнице. Она провела с нами целый день в больнице и очень мне помогла. Я и представить не могла, что мои роды с доулой будут такими легкими. Я полностью ей доверяла и слушала все ее подсказки.”

    Кристина П.

  • “I knew I wanted a doula for my third baby and Albina was incredibly supportive throughout my pregnancy. She invested time in understanding our story, helped prepare my husband with techniques, and was an essential part of my fast birth. She encouraged me and helped me feel confident.”

    Ilona G.

  • “Albina helped us make an informed decision, with absolutely no pressure or judgment, and her huge calming presence created a peaceful environment amidst all the anxiety. I had an IUGR pregnancy, my baby was in breech position. No matter whether it's a vaginal birth or cesarean, booking with Albina will ultimately transform your birth in every way.”

Common questions you
might be wondering

  • A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, informational and spiritual support to a pregnant woman before, during, and shortly after childbirth.

  • A doula offers comfort measures like massage, breathing techniques, and positioning, along with emotional reassurance for both mom and partner. She helps parents understand medical terms and options, empowering them to make informed decisions. As an advocate, she ensures the mother’s birth preferences are communicated and respected while working alongside the medical team.

  • A midwife provides medical care during pregnancy and birth, while a doula offers non-medical support and focuses on emotional and physical well-being.

  • Research shows that having a doula can result in shorter labor, reduced pain, fewer interventions, and a more positive birth experience overall. Whether you're a first-time mom or growing your family, a doula’s support brings peace of mind, confidence, and empowerment during this life-changing moment.

  • It’s recommended to hire a doula early in pregnancy (around the second trimester) to build a relationship and prepare for birth.

  • No. Doulas support all types of births, including medicated, unmedicated, cesarean, home, and hospital births.
