Alejandra S.

"Weronika was absolutely amazing! From the first time we met, she was so attentive and knowledgeable- asking all the questions to make sure she got to know us and what our wants were. She respected our religious beliefs and made sure to accommodate according to that.
She knew my birth plan(s) and flexibility around it making sure that I was aware of any and all alternatives in case things did not go the way I hoped.
when it came down to my actual labour, she was there EVERY step of the way. She helped me physically and emotionally when I laboured unmedicated and medicated. I laboured for 30+ hours! And during that time, she was completely selfless, letting my mom and husband sleep, while only taking one small nap. Although I decided to use pain relief for labour, there were still some complications- she reminded me of my strength and helped calm my stress and nerves so that my husband and I could make the needed decisions for any medical interventions. My husband and I really could not have done it without her. The emotional and physical support, no matter what the birth plan is, is absolutely needed and I'm extremely grateful she was a part of my team. Thank you so much!"

"Weronika helped my wife and I through the birth of our daughter. On the other side of that now, I can't image doing it without her. She is incredibly kind, caring and compassionate. Before the birth she visited our home several times to help us prepare and plan. She was flexible when our due date was moved up because of complications, and then spent 14 hours at the hospital with us. Finally she visited afterwards to make sure we were setting in with no problems. Everyone giving birth should have a Weronika!"

"Weronika was an integral part of our birth journey. From our first meeting she treated us with respect and displayed a positive aura that was felt by everyone around her. Her knowledge of pain management techniques helped us through our lengthy labour. She is very patient and loving towards our family. She is also very generous with her care. Highly recommend her for your birth journey.

Thank you Weronika! We are forever grateful!

"Weronika was such an amazing doula. She advocated for me during labour and delivery and was very hands on and supportive about making me comfortable and using positive affirmations to keep my hopes up. I didn’t feel pressured with her and was still able to make informed decisions. I would definitely use her for my other pregnancies, it was a positive experience and very worth it."

"Weronika was everything I hoped for in a doula and more. As a first time mom I really wanted someone who was knowledgeable, confident and had a strength I could rely on. Weronika had this in spades. Magically, she also embodied all the softness of a natural caregiver. She was phenomenal at anticipating my needs and making sure I was well cared for (physically and emotionally) during my birth process. My partner and I have since had many conversations cantering around how grateful we are that we chose Weronika to be our doula. I cannot recommend her more highly whether you are having a home, clinic or hospital birth."

"Weronika was a steady, reassuring presence throughout my birth, offering the perfect balance of guidance and support. She was able to anticipate the needs of myself and my partner. Her postpartum care was just as invaluable—she created a calm, nurturing environment and made sure I had the rest and recovery time I needed. Her cooking was a true gift—every meal was both delicious and nourishing. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and skilled doula."

"I found Weronika after searching Doula services in the KW region for the birth of my son (born May 2025). From the first virtual meeting through to the last post-partum visit, Weronika was a joy to work with. She carried such a wealth of knowledge and resources with her, that I felt truly taken care of the entire journey. Weronika answered all of my many prenatal questions with patience and ease; and although I ended up having a cesarean, she was right there in the recovery room ready to support me during the first few hours with baby. Then, during her post-partum visits, she was an amazing support both with helping to care for baby, prep meals, bake the best cookies as well as chat with me about all things. As a single Mom with an advanced age pregnancy who underwent IVF with donor eggs (retrieved from my sister), and donor sperm, I’m so grateful to Weronika for all her support. I highly recommend you reach out to her for your birth plan "

"Weronika provided incredible support during our son’s birth. Her strength and compassion were exactly what we needed during a challenging delivery. Her follow-up care was super helpful. If you are looking for a doula, we highly recommend Fern & Nettle."

"Weronika is the most kindest, sweetest person. My birth came on hard and fast and I am so happy she was with me from every step of the way. She just knew how to help me through it all. Especially my aftercare with her. My son who’s 3 yrs old absolutely adored her. She kept my son busy and also cooked us cabbage rolls and homemade perogies. I would recommend her to anyone. She’s very respectful, clean, and has the best attitude . We miss her, she far exceeded our expectations! Love, the H ❤️"
