We took Polina’s CBE Individual course to prepare for a natural delivery in China. As first-time parents living abroad, we were scared about not being informed enough for our birth, and wanted to be prepared for all options ahead of us. Polina’s course provided a wealth of information and resources, which we successfully used for a nearly unmedicated, natural delivery. While our birth experience differed from our ideal plan, we felt empowered at each stage thanks to the tools and knowledge gained from Polina. We fully recommend her to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of birth process, especially those interested in natural delivery.

I started working with Polina during my second pregnancy. Since after the first birth there was a huge fear of the birth itself. We started working somewhere around the 28th week of pregnancy and at the first meeting we discussed all my fears and worries. With each session, I gained more and more knowledge about pregnancy itself, childbirth and postpartum recovery, and my fears receded with each meeting. I advise all my pregnant friends to take a course with Polina in order to understand exactly how to behave in contractions, pushing, after childbirth, in order to maintain their health and the health of the baby, as Polina tells how to help the baby not only in the mother’s tummy, but and after childbirth and gives knowledge about breastfeeding! I sincerely believe that I gave birth to a healthy daughter thanks to the knowledge that I received in the lessons with Polina, for which I am infinitely grateful to her!!

Finally I have time to leave my review about Polina’s CBE course. Polina, thank you sooooo much for the knowledge, well-designed and structured course, without any “water”. Thank you so much for your support and for responding to questions even AFTER the course! Thank you for your recommendations on nutrition, vitamins and narrow specialists in different areas. Everything was so capacious, clear, evidence-based, so there is not a single “but”. You can read book, but they will not answer all your questions; you can watch YouTube, but it will still be a mess in your head. Our classes were very clear, the explanations were simple, and there was also something to laugh at. Thanks to you, I calmly went through the pregnancy, went to the hospital without panic, and calmly gave birth. Moreover, I knew all the stages of the development of lactation. Thank you for giving girls this peace of mind. I think that your course can protect expectant mothers from postpartum depression as well. Thanks a lot sincerely!

I really want to write so many good things, because Polina helped us a lot! To begin with, I am so happy that I have met Polina. Being on my 6th month of pregnancy in a new country with lots of fears and unknown things about labor, it was my goal to get as much prepared as possible. Thanks to Polina’s CBE course everything was just perfect! All my fears were gone and I had the best birth experience! I was ready to meet my baby! Polina’s course is just amazing, she explains everything with so much passion that I was dreaming to get through this wonderful experience of birth. And we are also very grateful for her support during labor and after. We definitely recommend Polina to anyone who is getting ready to give birth!

My husband and I as well as our lovely baby girl would like to say a huge thank you to Polina for being with us during such a nice period of our lives. Choosing her CBE Course and Birth Doula Support was the best decision. Thanks to Polina my birth was amazing and we remember it as the happiest day ever! Her support and kind words, help with breathing, massage, and all the rituals and kind reminders that we will soon meet our baby filled me with calmness, endorphins, helped me to relax and, of course, gave me power. I can talk about it for hours with a smile and tears of happiness. I would like to let others know that it is really important to prepare for birth and it is essential to have such a person like Polina near, the person who knows how to support and help you in the right way.

I would like to thank you for your consultation, 90 minutes haven’t flown that fast before! My husband was delighted, all his fears went away. You gave us a lot of useful information and dispelled all the myths. Girls who have chance to give birth and have you as their birth doula - are trully lucky!

Polina is amazing. She is dedicated to help women and does it with kindness and compassion. I’m happy with the decision to hire a doula, otherwise it would be much harder to deal with myself in that little triage room that I spent most of my labor in….

Thank you for holding my hands and listening to me while I whined and complained during the labor and for the information, support and conversations after the delivery!

I want to say THANKS to Polina for being with us on such an important day for our family. Thanks for the thorough preparation and support at all stages before and after. Her professionalism, care and attention made the birth of our princess even more special. Polina has a very good sense of when to give the initiative to my husband and when to take it into her experienced hands. This day brought my husband and I to a new level of mutual understanding. Polina translated every phrase of the medical staff for me without laziness. This was one of my fears - not to understand what was happening. Thanks to Polina for calmly accepting my decision and not insisting on "how it is right" or "how it should be." Everything did not go according to plan, but now I know that the plan does not work in this matter. An unexpected and very pleasant bonus was the photos and videos of our entire process. I had no time for this. But it's very cool to review these moments now. To tears! I am happy that Polina helped us meet our princess.

Our doula became a real support during the birth of our child.  From the very beginning, she helped us prepare, gave us advice on breathing and pain relief, and was an indispensable source of calm and reassurance during the birth itself.  She was always there, supported my wife, and at the same time helped me understand how I could be useful.  Thanks to her, I felt confident and calm at this important moment in our lives.  We are sincerely grateful for her help and human warmth!
