  • Absolutely amazing. You explain everything in such a soothing voice. You feel calm right away. After meetings with you, I start thinking about a second child.

    Svetlana — April 14, 2023

  • Only with you was I able to give birth the way I wanted! It was done with love 😍 Thank you for your support.

    Anastasiya — April 25, 2023

  • I listened to your meditations today)) Damn, it's so great) I haven't immersed myself in my state like this in a long time, and today I remembered why I loved meditating during pregnancy so much. All the blocks in my body really released. You immediately see where the unprocessed and unacknowledged stuff is sitting. It really works) Thank you so much for the hypno-meditations.

    Irina — April 27, 2023

  • By the way, I listen to your meditations every day, I really love them. I'll keep listening after birth too, because they really help me relax Thank you with all my strength! For your openness and trust!

    Olga — April 30, 2023

  • We can be congratulated now too — at 00:00 our daughter was born, we didn't make it to the maternity hospital, my doula Ksenia delivered our little one at home 💕 The three of us with my husband and doula felt like we were starring in a thriller, everything happened so rapidly. We arrived at the clinic only to cut the umbilical cord and deliver the placenta. From the very first sensations to the birth of our daughter, 2.5 hours passed. I thought this only happens in movies. In short, the second birth turned out to be absolutely magical

    Inna — May 15, 2023

  • I want to leave you my review about the birth))) The birth was amazing, exactly as I wanted, the fact that it didn't work out at home turned out even better, that everything was fast, because at the maternity hospital the right atmosphere was needed and I managed to relax, especially in the water and thanks to your support. It was a magical birth and I'll remember it for a long time. Thank you so much ❤❤❤ Sending the video that came out

    Anastasiya — June, 2023

  • Hi! Can I share)))) your meditations solved my sleep problem SO MANY days I couldn't sleep and now I fall asleep almost instantly)) though I've never listened to the end yet

    Tatyana — June 7, 2023

  • Dear Ksenia, you're my birth guardian angel! God, how grateful I am to you, how much I love you, words cannot express I definitely wouldn't have managed without you, you give incredible support and help 🙏 and only thanks to you I experienced birth as naturally as possible, exactly as I wanted, yes, it was scary, yes, it was sooooo hard… but thanks to your help I managed to get through this journey THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! And a million more times thank you ❤

    Varvara — July 17, 2023

  • Dear Ksenia 💕. I love you so much, you were with me at the most important moment of my entire life, I will be grateful all my life and Lucianita 🌸 will always know who made the biggest contribution to the path to her natural birth, I definitely wouldn't have made it without you, this whole long journey that the Almighty prepared for me, on the path to becoming a mother. You're like a sister, you fought for me and gave so much love and support emotionally and physically, I wouldn't have endured those contractions I had up to 7 cm without you! At the most needed moment you replaced everyone for me — mom, sister, husband. I was very lucky with you, what a tremendous job you did for me and my baby, I hope she'll be just like you. We each have our own families and live in different corners of the world, but know that wherever I am I'll always be happy to see you and I also want to be somehow useful to you. I hope someday I'll be able to return the kindness and love you gave us. (I'll leave this here as a memory)

  • My dear Kari and her partner took a long journey to Santiago, Chile to receive the birth of their baby. From Russia she, from Africa he, residents of Dubai and the world, speakers of several languages (except Spanish 😅), dance lovers, we came together for a respected birth in a clinic accompanied by my dear Ksenia. While waiting, an induction was decided together, which honestly was very subtle, because with a little help and patience Kari progressed, giving birth from standing to squatting, supported by a fabric, with much strength and love. Baby in arms at last!! Skin to skin and so much love!! After an hour, the baby's adaptation to the outside world began to require a bit of oxygen assistance, which obviously led us to a passage through neonatology, which was short and allowed us to continue with breastfeeding and recovery times for both. Beautiful family with a beautiful energy of love and joy!!! I hope you have a lovely return my dears!!!! P.S.: Thanks to the tenacity and support of my Ksenia…

    Karina — Instagram, September 2023, Santiago, Chile

  • Today I had a long-awaited session, my son gave me an hour and a half to talk, I expressed how amazing the birth experience of my boy was, even despite how bad I feel physically now and emotionally it's not easy, I would go through all of this several more times, it was simply magical and what care, non-judgmental support I was in throughout the entire birth, it's simply an invaluable contribution, now I understand clearly that a woman in labor absolutely needs the support of a woman

    Anastasiya — November 16, 2023

  • I'll add that Ksenia was with me as a doula during birth and helped a lot: aromatherapy, massage, timely words of support and endless searches for headphones with meditations that were constantly flying away somewhere 🙃 — created a feeling of great important support And most importantly, Ksenia heard and took into account all my wishes and expectations from the process, was 100% in the moment, for which I'm very grateful Being with you, mamas, Ksenia gives birth again and again.. Just imagine what energy expenditure.. it's especially important and valuable when a person shares with you everything and most importantly human energy and kindness..

    Vlada — November, 2023 (Telegram «Sovety Chili mamochek»)

  • I wanted to thank this group for finding Ksenia the doula here! I had my dream birth! Ksenia made the main contribution to making this event a fairy tale! We're already planning a second one with the same team! And the clinic in Viña is suuuuper and Olya helped with translation and documents. Girls you're amazing, love you all! See you!!! Found all contacts in this group, so special respect to the group creator from me and my daughter!!!

    Lera — November 22, 2023 (Telegram «Rody»)

  • Oh I also want to add I reached out to Ksenia with any questions, she always advised, always helped find answers to my questions 🙏 Never met Ksenia in person but through communication very pleasant, understanding and cool 💗

    November 22, 2023

  • It was a beautiful birth 🤍 And I'M GRATEFUL… It all started with preparing my mind, or more precisely, rebuilding the basic beliefs that were instilled in us before. I really wanted to experience my first not very successful experience anew. The first thing I did was reach out to doula Ksenia, we were acquainted earlier under other circumstances, now she lives in Chile. She conducted online courses for me, where I gained a lot of self-confidence, also did yoga with her (I want to say that it's important to prepare the body physically). Secondly, on her recommendation I read the book "Birth from Nature," reread it several times returning to important moments for me. Gained even more calmness and understanding of the whole process.

    Yana — Instagram (@natala_voroncova)

  • Damn I just went into your bot and there's such a treasure trove of knowledge, you're so smart! You give so much information, I'm shocked, I can't even imagine what work this is and how you manage to combine and do everything with 2 kids!!

    Evgeniya — January 20, 2024

  • Dear team 🩷 ! Can we ask you to recommend to moms who are flying here for the best events in their lives, this team!!! They are simply Professionals at what they do, people from God, who in our crazy times sincerely love their work, and do it impeccably!!!! I'm happy that I was lucky to be with them and share the joy in my life with their professional help!!! My heroes!!

    Irina — March 16, 2024

  • My dear, only thanks to you I entered this new status so softly and accepted it, it's priceless I'll never forget your desire to always come to help in everything 🙏 you can count on me further, God willing we'll see each other soon here, or somewhere else 🩷 I'm sure we will meet)

    Alina — March 16, 2024

  • Finally today was the first calm night 🌙 happiness 🥺 thank you so much ❤️ Milk came in, I came through 😅 Everything worked out! Thank you so much for your help with breastfeeding.

    Tatyana — May 12, 2024

  • I adore you) Thank you 🙏 for your approach to your work) Everything in detail 👌❤️ Thank you so much for the birth preparation.

    Svetlana — June 30, 2024

  • Now I try to put myself in the place of a participant, not from the side of the staff. And I draw a parallel in my head that just as we provided help when people ended up in the operating room and the team did everything possible to keep the person alive, that the staff will also help me as needed, the main thing is that you're here and it's even calmer, since we discussed a lot and there's a super plan, as I love, so I feel much more confident and if I have questions, I'll be given competent answers

    Olga — June 30, 2024

  • From this day in my phone you're saved not as Ksenia Doula, but as 🪄 Fairy. I couldn't even dream of such a birth ✨ everything went so wonderfully that probably such births aren't written about in any manuals and aren't offered, because it's incredible and impossible 🥹 this was my fifth birth 🤰 of my long-awaited son 👶 Before this I gave birth to three children in Russia for money and one child in Brazil and I never felt such smooth and cohesive, and most importantly Caring treatment anywhere 🙏 You approached the organization of this birth, the management and the birth itself with so much love, it all happened at the highest level ✨ there was everything - massage and rubbing, aromatherapy, I listened to music and constantly felt your support, both moral and physical 💗 And every sip of water you gave me with a straw was just so much with love 🥹 your voice guided me and I somewhere just didn't listen to the translators or doctors, only you 🙏 thank you for the caring attitude towards the baby and support after the birth, for cutting the umbilical cord 🥹 because we could only entrust this event to the closest person, but thanks to this birth we bonded like this and for our family you're a close person 🩷 I want to wish you to continue this difficult path, I saw how many restrictions are created abroad for Russian-speaking Doulas, but your heart is open for big and great deeds 🙏 continue helping women go through this truly difficult path, but with your light in hands and in soul it becomes very easy 💗 hugging you thank you so much #отзывыдоула #доулачили #чили

    Svetlana — Instagram (@doula.kseniia, TESTIMONIAL from mom)

  • I don't know if my husband told you this personally, but through all my contractions I spent the time in headphones listening to your hypno-meditations.

    Varvara — Instagram (@doula.kseniia, TESTIMONIAL FROM PARENTS)

  • Birth with Ksenia's support — it's just one love from beginning to end 💕 Just imagine — when you have a very important life moment that requires from you the most correct behavior and understanding, and the physical properties of the body at this moment aren't capable of accurately and completely adequately thinking and doing, and there's also so much informational garbage, fears, anxieties and other people's opinions/experiences around, in a heap where the devil himself would break his leg 🌪 and here among this chaos you have a FRIEND/SISTER/MOTHER/MENTOR/HELPER/GUIDE/PERSON whom you trust unconditionally — this is all your Doula 🩷 For my husband and me to our great happiness — this was Ksenia 🩷, I so wanted it to be in person, but it turned out online, BUT firstly we'll still see each other in person in 🇨🇱, and secondly from my own experience I'll say — this online was more and deeper than any courses, even from the coolest coaches. We even laughed later, we got a certificate for birth from some of the most popular and considered the coolest birth preparation courses in our country, we listen and like with my husband — yeahhh, water-water, we can tell like that ourselves 🙃 Preparation was simply on all fronts — psychologically, theoretically, physically and practically 💪 We waited for birth like New Year in childhood 🎄 And everything went just perfectly 💫 As planned, as imagined ✨ for me this is the second child and this experience just turned my view of the world, that IT'S POSSIBLE LIKE THIS! 😍 That it's so simple, so depends on us, that everything can be done competently, tolerably and most importantly with great love! As my husband said today (and we're still in the maternity hospital), that he would introduce at the legislative level in the maternity hospital not to leave a woman alone — husband/personal midwife/doula whom the woman trusts as herself should be nearby one hundred percent before/during and after such an important event in her life)) So, if pregnant girls are reading me, devote time to proper preparation and support for yourself, it's a qualitatively different level and it's very important 🩷 And everything will be simply magical

    Anastasiya — September 2024 (@varya_demid, online birth prep & support testimonial)

  • Thank you dear 🩷 Prepared for birth together with Ksenia 🩷 what would I do without her 💕

    September 2, 2024 (@varya_demid)

  • I lived through the contractions with songs, love, and amazing motivation — I was really looking forward to them 💪 And it's all thanks to Ksenia 🩷 Nothing to be afraid of

    September 2, 2024 (@varya_demid)

  • A year ago today ❤️ — you'll always be remembered on this day in our lives, I think. It already feels that way today) A full year has passed, and we'll always remember you as an important person in our lives! Thank you for your support during birth.

    Olga — September 5, 2024

  • From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for the incredible help and support you gave me during birth. You are a true professional and a person with a huge heart. With you I felt calm and confident, knowing that someone I could trust was beside me. It was as if behind the scenes of the whole process there was a grey cardinal — invisible but confidently steering everything that was happening!

    Anastasiya and Sergey — October 10, 2024

  • I immediately felt that you were the one it would be comfortable to walk this important path with — even at the stage of choosing where to give birth. And I wasn't wrong! It mattered to me to know that I was expected in Chile, and thanks to you this experience became so special. You are incredibly brave, determined, and inspiring, and I'm sure great success lies ahead for you in your project organizing births in Chile. May your path be bright and successful!

    October 10, 2024

  • Until I spoke with doula Ksenia from Santiago, who judged my dilation from my breathing, I couldn't believe I was already in labour. The coordinator and the company representative who had been managing my pregnancy before birth were convincing me that several hours of contractions didn't mean I was giving birth. On the way they told me we'd drive back, that there wouldn't be enough dilation. There were several moments when I felt that if I started paying attention to that now — I'd shut down my oxytocin with my own cortisol. So I sincerely wish you all to be surrounded by aware people! I had a birth plan agreed with the midwife and coordinator. But it wasn't followed at all. Thanks for not pushing vaccines. About the clinic — it's Vira clinica Renaca. I like that staff come in often and help. The rooms are comfortable. Overall everything went fine; the bill is quite large. I'll photograph it here later. Girls, stay healthy and thanks for the support.

  • Huge thanks — it really felt like I was in heaven, such relaxation, just amazing ❤️ Going to eat a bit more and go to sleep 🥱

    December 3, 2024

  • Ksenia, I finally got around to writing a REVIEW ❤ I needed a little time to come back to normal life from that beautiful dream that happened to us in Chile 🥰 For me these were a dream birth — I have something to compare with, since I'd already had a C-section. And although there were no complications then, my inner state definitely left something to be desired. I was as if alone and didn't know what I wanted. Just drifting 🌊 This time I knew exactly what I wanted for myself. And even though we initially headed for Canada, in my heart I felt I wanted to be by the ocean, and everything led us there. Then I found "my doula" — you, completely by chance. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me from the start of preparation through the end of the whole recovery period. You told me about all the important moments, the "pitfalls" of the team — that definitely helped me adapt better and tune them to my wavelength) I always felt you were like my "blanket" that hugs you and lets you stay "warm" (without difficulties, fears, and with a constant sense of confidence). After births like these you want to come back (if it weren't for the nausea at 6 months 🤪) The baths, massages, your warming drinks — I won't even start)) what else does a mom need after birth. Full care, relaxation, treats. It's a beautiful closing note 💗 thank you so much #доула #роды #материнство #подготовкакродам

    December 12, 2024 (Instagram, @doula.kseniia, birth testimonial)

  • In short: everything's great! No anaesthesia, induction, or anything else. Everything went the way I wanted. As natural as possible ❤ Both of us are healthy and full of energy! Ksenia, huge thanks for preparing me and my husband! Everything was so useful! Especially how realistic you were, how honest about the stages, and how clear the instructions were ❤. We're still in shock from the experience. Happy! I'll write more and tell everything later 🙏 for now I'm disappearing to recover and bond with the baby. Breastfeeding, by the way, is going — everything's great, basically. Huge thanks to you!!

    December 28, 2024

  • Hi everyone! I want to share my experience. Today I had a session with Ksenia. I came to her with a specific request. During the meeting I felt all of Ksenia's attention and that she isn't just "clocking in" for the money — she genuinely cares about the result. She finished with a rebozo session with oils and music. There was so much warmth, care, and presence in it! I sincerely recommend her ❤

    January 7, 2025 (therapy testimonial)

  • Yeah, thanks! And thanks again for our preparation) 🙏 Everything went great, just as we wanted!

    January 14, 2025 (birth prep testimonial from dad)

  • This message is gratitude to Ksenia for her work, and my 100% recommendation of her as a true professional in her field! As a doctor — and now from my own experience — I'm convinced again how important the doula's role is in birth, and in the prenatal and postpartum periods. These were my third births, and in many ways they succeeded thanks to Ksenia's techniques and attentive care 🩷 Her support is priceless at every stage of this special process. Thank you so much, Ksenia 💗

    January 15, 2025

  • Yes — Ksenia is a serious specialist and very smart. I gave birth to all four of my children at home with a doula, back in my home country. I only met Ksenia here; I follow how she works with huge respect and joy! If only there were more of this wise love for women and moms!

    January 15, 2025

  • It's hard to put a price on the quiet of your son's sound, healthy, well-fed sleep. Or on massage if it can help you avoid induction? Or on your son's first touch to the breast after an unassisted vertical birth when there was a risk you'd be taken for general anaesthesia? I wish my experience with you (Ksenia the doula) had been simpler: fewer messages/questions, better preparation on my side, fewer changes of medical teams and clinics, fewer difficulties on the path of birth support and after. But as things turned out, you were on top everywhere and helped me hold on there too 🩷 Saying thank you doesn't begin to cover it. At first I planned to come to Chile alone and I needed my own person to lean on: to understand the country's specifics, so I wouldn't be alone in birth — and I had no professional expectations beyond "what can a doula give me?". I simply didn't want to be alone at the most vulnerable moment for a woman, in another country without knowing the language, giving birth with someone who might only appeal as a person and not knowing how they'd perform in practice. But looking back now over 5.5 months, for our family you were a friend, an advocate for our interests (you know exactly what I mean), a doctor, a rescuer, a midwife, a breastfeeding consultant, a psychologist, a good human being, and so much more. The birth didn't go to plan, and there were questions with the medical team along the way, but this path became easier and clearer with you. Changes were justified on health grounds and by the protocols of the clinic I chose. The result may not be birth 100% to plan, but with the most positive outcome possible given everything — including my health, which brought a string of surprises at the end. And postpartum support. What would I have done without you — back, belly, breasts, and other surprises. Yes — it turns out birth is only the beginning. Through this whole difficult stretch it felt like you were a caring friend. You always did and gave more than you had to and more than you could have. It never felt like "just a job" for you. As if it's your mission — to bring goodness to women — and you live it. Thank you for our tears of joy from the first and every touch with our son 💕

    February 21, 2025 (testimonial pro full doula support)

  • …were honoured (through negotiation, doctors, and stubborn will — mine too)! And yes — if you want what you dream of, you have to take responsibility! That's one of the lessons I took from my wonderful birth (I wrote the full story below 👇) I'm grateful to Ksenia for wonderful individual preparation, a sea of insights, a happy birth, for fighting hard for my interests, for your feminine energy and for breastfeeding support after birth, for how much you give and how you fulfil yourself! I'd advise every woman — give birth with a doula! And everyone giving birth in Chile — you ❤

    April 21, 2025 (@yosoyganadora, Threads)

  • Ksenia, thank you again so much 🙏 At night I talked to Irinka on video. She's exhausted but happy 🩷. Did you get to rest today yourself? You're amazing — your support means so much to moms. You should be proud; you do such important work. How lucky we were to find out about you. Ksenia! You're incredible!!!! I want to give birth with you — but I don't want to give birth anymore 😄 You're on the right path!!! Say hi to the new mom and hug her — tell her we're proud she trusted you and herself ❤

    May 18, 2025

  • Dear Ksenia, what joy! I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart!! This isn't a small win — it's a real, big, huge win! Gently hugging you and your brand-new mom and baby 🩷 Thank goodness 🙏

    May 18, 2025 (@lucy-gravitacia)

  • Ksenia, hi. We're cancelled 😅 Platon got comfy and changed his mind about coming out — I felt so good in the second trimester when the nausea ended and my belly hadn't grown yet (Review after pregnancy rebozo) But the main thing for me after rebozo: my back pain went away and kicks turned into little strokes. Dania said, "well you rocked him, he's thanking you now, he was tucked in comfortably — he was kicking because he was uncomfortable"

    May 27, 2025

  • Ksenia, thank you for the support — it was really cool, gentle, and calm with you beside me ❤ What you do is so luminous and you do it wonderfully 🙏 (From a dad) Glad to touch this… what you do doesn't fit in my head… I'm on my knees in my helplessness… and that's about all women and their strength

    June 15, 2025

  • I recommend burping to all moms, but many skip it — my son had no gas at all! We slept every night without crying or screaming, and without bloated tummies. SPONSOR OF A CALM NIGHT AND SOUND SLEEP: Ksenia ON AN EMPTY STOMACH IN THE MORNING

  • Mom, how I miss you, it feels like I want to repeat that experience again I have birth dependency After you

    August 14, 2025

  • Ksyusha, thank you so much for such a powerful birth Even after such pain I'm ready to give birth again! Just don't know how to be without you now 🥹 I'll follow you around the world You're the best professional at what you do, you're like you were just born a doula!! This is truly yours!! I'm so grateful to God that I lived through all of this with you 🙏

    August 19, 2025

  • Can I just say I love you? I won't bug you too much, get well, take care, do your things. But damn, huge thanks, because I'm sitting here. I still don't realize anything yet, but I think I'm doing everything right. And if it weren't for your confidence in what you do, I think we wouldn't be here now. And maybe we would have missed a very necessary, great, great experience and opportunity to change life for the better somehow. And in general, damn, I don't know. Anyway, thanks. Really. We haven't seen each other yet, but I like everything.

    November 13, 2025

  • Thank you so much. You helped me a lot during birth. I don't know what exactly you were squeezing there, but it gave relief. I'M ABSOLUTELY ON CLOUD NINE WITH HAPPINESS. It was just a dream birth overall. So beautiful.

    November 18, 2025

  • This day will forever remain in my memory as one of the most amazing! I was both happy and scared and in pain and curious! But most importantly I constantly felt your support! And that's very valuable to me! If I could repeat it, I would repeat everything exactly the same without hesitation! Thank you so much!

    November 18, 2025

  • Today at the pool I met our friends. I think they were at your barbecue yesterday.. They asked me a lot about the clinic and whether a doula is necessary. I gave you the highest recommendations!! I said you're absolutely necessary and they shouldn't even think twice and should hire you as their doula! That there's no one better than you

    December 16, 2025 (testimonial from dad)

  • Ksyusha, I'm so happy we met you and you accompanied our birth. I'm absolutely happy with how everything went! Thank you so much! Hugging you. I join every word!

    December 19, 2025 (testimonial from the family)

  • Ksyusha, thank you for being there! These words aren't enough to describe all the gratitude. But honestly, I would have just lost my mind there without you. I also think it was God's providence that everything worked out with you so easily like this

    December 28, 2025

  • I'll be honest, I was very scared. But that's not why I said I support the C-section. Because I was scared why the waters were that color, what's with the baby, is all of this safe. And when choosing between fighting for natural birth or for the baby's life — what are we even talking about here)))) Of course the baby! Yes, I understand they cut me everywhere, that there's a scar on my uterus, that my plan for a quick next pregnancy is ruined because I need more time to recover and prepare for future births. But! My choco pop is lying here next to me breathing — and I don't care about anything! And I gave birth myself! It was my body that made a person (from Chinese noodles and Fanta, but let's skip that 😅). It was my body that experienced contractions that didn't lead anywhere… it was my body that experienced water breaking. It was my body that was cut and stitched. I myself was born via emergency C-section. Always heard from everyone that it's "harmful," "wrong" etc. And after going through this myself, I'll never stigmatize it, and especially not devalue it, like many do. Because having the experience of natural birth, I can say THIS IS HARDER! It's easier to live through the whole process and give birth vaginally and be able to move normally the next day and just forget about what happened. Than to struggle the way I'm struggling now! I'm very grateful to you for not giving in to panic yourself in that whirlwind of chaos. We acted with a cool head. Thank you!

  • Girls, good morning! Thank you so much for your participation in one way or another in the birth of our baby Special thanks to Ksyusha for telecommunication and calming anxious parents who received a blue, not very crying baby into the hands of a young double doc Special respect for your promptness! It seemed to me, I realize that [well] and she was already at our house I've never squeezed someone else's hands with such force and KISSED them

  • You're amazing, so glad we were together at my birth. I was so calm, just incredible. It's all thanks to you

  • Even while still at home in Russia, the spontaneously made decision to go give birth in Chile inspired me and at the same time caused panic when I started looking for all the information about an unfamiliar country and birth preparation myself. I knew one hundred percent that I wanted a doula at my birth and by typing "doula Chile" in the Instagram search I found Ksyusha. Right away from her page I understood that vibe-wise this person suited me, and after a short call this was confirmed. My soul felt lighter that I found help and my husband and I started packing our bags. What's great is that by arranging the birth with Ksyusha, I got not just... a meeting... on this important day, but first a complete guide about preparation/the postpartum period and a ton of other info. She was always (and still is) in touch and took the initiative herself to come and help with breastfeeding for example, do rebozo, gave me all sorts of things to induce labor already with (I had an overdue passenger) and so on. In general, crazy positive energy comes from Ksyusha, you can feel her love for the work, which inevitably transfers and I felt her care throughout the entire period Then day X arrived, I had planned induction in the morning, everything ended with a C-section at night the next day. And... I somehow came across a video on Instagram where people were writing comments like "who is this doula and why is she even needed, she's not a midwife." I really wanted to punch through the phone because well at least a doula like Ksyusha... I would have collapsed there without her massages, aroma oils, rebozo. My husband definitely couldn't have rubbed me for so long, and here you could feel the hand of a professional! And when they laid me down to cut, and I started shaking from the anesthesia, her magic hands stroked my head and that also really calmed my body. So if anyone still has doubts whether to hire or not. I'll say 100% you need Ksyusha, it's calmness, confidence and support. Thank you Ksenia 🩷 #доулавчили #родывчили

  • I think I'm finally ready to write about my birth experience with Ksenia) I met her a whole year before I even got pregnant (fate brought us together 😁), and right away I knew she was exactly the person I could trust. Our views on a natural approach aligned completely. So I didn't really study the specifics of the country or, for that matter, the birth protocols there. Over time, my understanding only grew stronger that Ksenia would help me live through this experience exactly the way I needed. And in the end, it all turned out to be worth it. At the moment of truth, the midwife came to my home as soon as I texted her. Then another midwife arrived, and Ksenia. I was worried someone would get in my way, distract me, but no. I didn't feel anyone's presence at all. It was important for me to stay within myself, without losing that connection. And only at the right moment, closer to pushing, Ksenia helped ease the sensations with her magic hands) And after everything, she brewed the most delicious mulled-wine tea. She helped with breastfeeding, so I had absolutely no problems with that process (unlike with my first child). Everything went so perfectly that now I don't even want to think that my next birth might happen surrounded by other people. My little girl was born at 4 kg, at home, healthy and beautiful) All the necessary doctors came to the house to take tests and check on our condition. And I tried to stay in bed as much as possible. Con mucho amor a Ksenia ❤️ for such a magical experience.

  • Ksenia, your post reminded me of the message I've been wanting to write, but you made things so good for me that I almost felt lazy about going back there))) It was so intense! And you healed me. I didn't know how it would happen, but I trusted deeply, and I wasn't wrong. It turned out that there is a special kind of wisdom in a person who welcomes new life and helps mothers bring it into the world. And I don't think you can act that out or acquire it any other way except through this direct experience of yours, your involvement, your love for this work. Forgive me, maybe I'm going on too long, but I worked on this topic with psychologists for almost a year, and it turns out what I needed wasn't psychologists — it was a doula. Because only a doula can bear witness LIKE THAT, say things in such a way that everything dissolves. No techniques will help here. Pure magic. The magic of wisdom, of deep feminine knowledge. I had an incredible process; you guided it and held it not just in your palms, but with your whole hands, like a newborn. I thank you. I thank you for closing this process and truly letting me integrate it. I didn't understand before how important this support is. Now I know that in birth you need both the rites of passage and a doula, and the closing. None of this is for nothing. This isn't for show or pretty words, not for flowers. It really helps you live through this process, and moreover, it's simply natural. So natural, when someone is beside you who knows just a little more about this than you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And I wish all women the courage to choose support for themselves 🙏🏼

  • Even while still at home in Russia, the spontaneous decision to go give birth in Chile filled me with excitement and at the same time sent me into a panic when I started searching on my own for information about an unfamiliar country and birth preparation. I was one hundred percent sure I wanted a doula at my birth, and when I searched Instagram for "doula Chile" I found Ksenia. Right away from her page I could tell this person matched my vibe; after a short call that was confirmed. My heart felt lighter knowing I'd found help, and my husband and I started packing our suitcases. What was great is that when I arranged birth support with Ksenia, I didn't just get someone there on the important day — first I received a complete guide on preparation and the postpartum period, plus tons of other information. She was always (and still is) available and took initiative herself — for example, coming to help with breastfeeding, doing rebozo work, giving me various things to help trigger labor 😄 (I had an overdue passenger) and so on. In short, Ksenia radiates incredible positive energy; you can feel her love for the work, and that definitely transferred to me — I felt her care throughout the entire period 🥺 Then the day came. I had a planned induction starting in the morning, and everything finished late into the next night. And… somehow I came across a video on Instagram where people were commenting things like "who even is a doula and why do you need one, they're not a midwife." I literally wanted to reach through the phone and hit someone 😂 because at least a doula like Ksenia… I would have been done for without her massages, aromatherapy oils, rebozo. My husband definitely couldn't have rubbed me that long, but here you felt the hand of a professional! And when they put me under for the cesarean and I started shaking from the anesthesia, her magic hands stroked my head and that really did calm my body down. So if anyone still has doubts about whether to hire one — I'll say 💯 you need Ksenia. She brings calm, confidence, and support. Thank you @doulakseniia ❤️🙏🏼

    Yuliya — birth in Chile

  • Ksenia, happy March 8th to you. 🌷 Sometimes people appear in life who become part of a very important day. They don't just help — they stay in your memory forever. For us, you were that person. Even when we were still in Russia, we talked with different doulas. But after the very first conversation with you, everything felt calm. You were without pretense, without grand promises — simply a living, calm, and very real person. And it was exactly that feeling of trust that decided everything. When Katya was pregnant, she didn't want to read or study how birth happens at all. She didn't want to scare herself in advance. But after meeting you, something changed. You calmly explained how everything works, and the fear began to retreat little by little. Katya started watching your videos, reading your guide, and even wrote her birth plan — for three days she sat imagining how that day should unfold. But when that day truly began to approach, it became frightening. 41 weeks… then several more days of waiting. Fatigue, anxiety, the unknown. And when contractions finally began, you were simply there. Calmly. Without fuss. Without pressure. You said: "We're staying home. Everything is going the way it should." When it became truly hard, you came to our home with a suitcase. You brought heating pads, scents, a humidifier. You sat down next to Katya on the floor on a mat and began quietly, almost in a whisper, helping her live through the contractions. The room was peaceful, as if time had slowed down. And when it became easier — you quietly went into another room so as not to get in the way. Then pushing began. You said: "Let's get ready." And we drove to the hospital. Katya barely remembers that ride. Only how she screamed in the car and how you took her by the hand at the hospital entrance. After that, everything was fast and hard. The doctors followed protocols, offered an epidural, talked about a cesarean. There were many tense moments. But you were there and protected Katya and her right to live through this birth the way she wanted. For me, as her husband, the most important thing was different. In the most tense moments, when my mind started thinking the worst, I quietly asked you: — Ksenia, is everything okay? And you answered calmly: — Pasha, this is normal. This happens with first births. And in that moment, it became calm. For Katya, you became more than support — you became her guide. She says that in the delivery room she didn't even need to hold your hand. It was enough just to see you nearby. At one point they escorted you out of the room with security, and that's when she truly got scared for the first time. Because without you, that world suddenly became unfamiliar. But you came back. And when Katya's strength was almost gone, when it seemed impossible to go on, it was you who held her, helped, guided, sometimes even raised your voice — and exactly then the process moved forward again. Then Agata appeared. At first she didn't cry, and for a second the whole world stopped. But a moment later came her first cry. And in that moment, everything fell into place. Now, when we remember that day, we understand one simple thing: if you hadn't been there, everything could have gone completely differently. We would have gone to the hospital sooner, gotten an epidural, possibly agreed to a cesarean. But thanks to you, everything happened the way we dreamed — naturally. Agata was born healthy. And you will forever remain part of the story of her birth. Thank you for the calm. For the strength. For the support. For being there on that day. With enormous gratitude, Pavel and Katya

  • Hi! Yesterday I was at @doulakseniia's for a birth closing and postpartum wrapping 🙌🏻 It was magical — she put me back together piece by piece 🥰 We worked through psychological postpartum moments and my whole body; she gave me a full massage, and I rested so deeply it felt like being born again. I highly recommend every mother experience this and take care of herself after birth. Thank you @doulakseniia for this magical process 🥰🙏 and for your magic hands 🤍🤍🤍

    Lina — closing the birth ceremony, postpartum wrapping

  • Hello everyone! I want to leave my review about birth and support with Ksenia ✨ From the very beginning of our work together, I felt incredible support and confidence with Ksenia. She is always available, ready to help at any moment, and offers thoughtful, caring solutions in any situation. That attentiveness shows in every detail — from choosing the clinic to the nuances of birth itself. Ksenia is a person with great inner strength: persistent, purposeful, and at the same time surprisingly gentle and perceptive. She always works toward the best outcome for the mother without pushing, but gently guiding. This is a rare quality — to be both strong and sensitive at once. She truly hears the woman. All my wishes — about the setting, the doctors, the procedures — were not only taken into account but received with respect and care. That helped me feel I was in safe hands. I especially want to note her magical practices: meditations, sound work with a drum, belly painting to invite the baby into this world — it wasn't just beautiful, it gave me a deep sense of connection with myself, my body, and my future child. Ksenia is skilled in many wellness techniques before and after pregnancy, and she offers everything gently and only when desired — never imposing. But perhaps the most important thing is her openness and genuine trust in life and people. That creates an incredibly warm atmosphere in which it's easy to be yourself and trust the process. I am endlessly grateful for this experience alongside Ksenia and wholeheartedly recommend her as a doula to every woman who wants to live pregnancy and birth consciously, beautifully, and with care 🙏

    Elena — March 2025

  • It's hard to measure the value of your son sleeping soundly — healthy, well-fed, and deeply rested. Or the value of a massage if it can help you avoid induction? Or that first touch of your son's mouth to your breast after self-directed vertical birth, when there was a risk you'd be put under general anesthesia? I wish my experience with you (Ksenia the doula) had been simpler: fewer messages and questions, better preparation on my part, fewer changes of medical teams and clinics, fewer complications along the path of birth support and aftercare. But as things turned out, you were outstanding everywhere and helped both of us hold on ❤️ Saying thank you doesn't begin to cover it. At first I planned to come to Chile alone and needed my own person to lean on: to understand the specifics of the country, so I wouldn't be alone in birth, and beyond my expectations I had no professional picture of "what can a doula give me?" I simply didn't want to be alone at the most vulnerable moment for a woman — in another country, not knowing the language, giving birth with someone who simply seemed like a good person and not knowing how they would perform in practice. But looking back now, five and a half months later, you were for our family both a friend and an advocate for our interests (you know exactly what I mean), and a doctor, and a rescuer, and a midwife, a lactation consultant, a psychologist, and simply a good person, and so much more. Professionals are judged by results. Birth didn't go according to plan — and along the way there were questions with the medical team — but this path became easier and clearer with you. Changes were justified by health and by the protocols of the clinic I had chosen. And the result may not be birth 100% according to plan, but the most positive outcome possible given all the circumstances, including my health, which brought a series of surprises at the final stage. And postpartum support. What would I have done without you — with my back, belly, breasts, and other surprises? Yes, yes, it turned out birth is only the beginning. And throughout this difficult path, it felt like you were a friend who cares. You always did and gave more than you had to and more than you reasonably could. It never felt like this was just work for you. As if this is your mission — to bring goodness to women — and you carry it. And if anyone thinks being a doula is easy? Try surprising an entire medical team during birth and finding a way to help a woman give birth on her own when even they don't know what to do! Try triggering labor painlessly, pleasantly, and naturally while giving yourself 100% and saving a woman from induction! Try always looking light, positive, energetic, and sharing goodness when in a single unit of time you're doing the work of ten people. Thank you for our happy tears from the first and every subsequent touch with our son ❤️❤️❤️

  • Girls, I want to share my impressions and feelings. For three days I had postpartum recovery sessions with Ksenia Belokhvost. I hadn't felt such bliss and relaxation in a long time. It was a true home spa — Ksenia gave me herbal baths, rebozo massage where the body relaxes so wonderfully, hands-on massage, working my back, legs, belly, and brush massage to move lymph and give the skin firmness; afterward she did a salt body scrub with rosemary oils, and at the end there was belly binding and taping. Each session lasted 2–3 hours; I did it over three days, but you can do more if you wish. Oh, I almost forgot — she also brews the most delicious cacao for you 🥰. I believe every mom should take care of herself this way. It was truly blissful, relaxing, nourishing — pure joy. Ksenia has very strong hands, and I honestly didn't expect the techniques to be this impressive. So I recommend her to you with all my heart ❤️

    Galina — postpartum recovery

  • I want to share my birth experience in Santiago. 1. I was choosing between support from a company and a doula. We settled on the second option, since I only needed help choosing the clinic and team, birth accompaniment, and getting documents. Here, of course, I don't regret this choice one bit. Doula Ksenia matched a team to my requests and budget, and we had a successful birth. She was always available for any questions, went with me to doctor appointments, and helped with discharge and documents. I recommend her! 2. The clinic. Initially (remotely) I chose UC Christus. But when I arrived, we couldn't settle on a doctor. The midwife gave no information about the doctors she suggested. The cost estimate made the situation worse. Other clinics, at the time of my arrival, had raised prices and deposits. Now Indisa, Santa María, and others want a prepayment of around $10,000! Keep that in mind when planning your budget. In the end we chose Bupa clinic. I recommend it 100%. Super staff, great attitude — they try as much as possible to communicate in English, and those who don't speak it use a translator to get their point across. The equipment is new, the rooms are new and clean. The cost is very low compared to other clinics. I found no downsides; the only thing is I got very tired of exams for me and the baby. But that's probably the case at any clinic. 3. The birth itself. I arrived at the clinic at night and was taken for an exam. It turned out I was 1 cm dilated and the midwife sent me home. But I was already in enough pain that going home wasn't an option. In the end, the on-duty team allowed me to be hospitalized. They sent me to a room where I waited for enough dilation to move to the delivery room. I'm endlessly grateful — I wouldn't have managed that trip back and forth. Dilation progressed very slowly; they already started considering a cesarean. But the team did everything so it could happen naturally. I'm endlessly grateful! The most humane birth 🙌🏼
