Birth is your story. I’m here to walk beside you with care and trust.
Birth is more than a moment - it’s a story of love, trust, and transformation. Dana Aitkhozhin
Welcome
Hi, I’m Dana.
My role as a doula is not to take control, but to be a constant, calming presence-steadfast and sensitive-so you can go through this experience feeling fully supported and cared for. For me, being a doula is more than just a profession. It is a true devotion to honoring a woman, her strength, and her unique journey, and to supporting a family as they step into one of life's most profound and transformative experiences.
My professional skills are rooted in real-life experience. As a mother of three and a former paraeducator for special needs children, I learned how to multitask with ease, read a room, and connect with people from all walks of life. I am stress-resistant, straightforward, and my intuition helps me stay focused on your needs. I’m also fluent in Russian and Kazakh, allowing me to support a diverse range of families. Years of personal therapy have given me the tools to hold space for others with an engaging and compassionate presence. I am a certified doula and am always dedicated to continuing my professional education.
I believe in being honest about where I am on my journey. My English is a work in progress, and my experience working with medical personnel is still growing. But I see these as strengths, not weaknesses. My developing language skills mean I am constantly learning and listening closely, which helps me connect with you on a deeper level. My less-extensive hospital experience means I come to every birth with a fresh, unbiased perspective, ready to learn from and collaborate with your specific medical team. My knowledge isn't based on rigid textbooks, but on personal experience. I'm an intuitive specialist who can adapt to your unique situation and develop a flexible plan that's perfect for you. My openness about my growth shows that I am a lifelong learner, dedicated to becoming a better doula for every client I serve.
My Philosophy
My philosophy as a doula is simple: I believe in the power of the feminine. Every woman holds a universe within her, a force of multifaceted, intuitive strength. This innate power is never more evident than during childbirth, a journey I've personally traveled three times. My first was an early birth, a lesson in resilience. My second was a C-section, which taught me to trust in a path different from the one I had planned. And my third was a natural birth, a powerful return to my body’s own strength. These transformative experiences taught me that birth is an unpredictable, beautiful journey, and they shaped my mission to help you embrace and express all of who you are. I'm here to guide you in celebrating your own power, trusting your inner wisdom, and understanding your place in this sacred process. When we can be our true selves, living with love and trust, we unlock our purpose and well-being. My hope is to help you shine your light so that your birth reflects the strength, freedom, and profound beauty of you as a woman.
With warmth,
Dana
