Iuliia Elshanskaia

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I’m Iuliia! I am a birth and postpartum doula serving families in the Sacramento and Roseville areas. As a Slavic doula, I specialize in supporting Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking families, and I understand the cultural traditions and values that are important during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I completed my doula training in the United States and continue my education through workshops and professional development in childbirth, breastfeeding, and postpartum care. Supporting families through this journey is truly my calling.

I provide compassionate, personalized care, and I believe every family deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their journey into parenthood. My goal is to help every family feel comfortable, confident, and supported as they welcome their new baby.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is centered on providing compassionate, respectful, and culturally sensitive support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I believe that every family deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported during this important life transition.

As a Slavic doula, I understand the cultural values, traditions, and unique experiences of Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking families. I strive to create an environment where families feel comfortable, understood, and confident throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I support informed decision-making and respect each family’s individual preferences, birth goals, and values. I also continue my education through ongoing training and evidence-based learning in pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum care, so I can provide the highest quality support to the families I serve.

Overall, whether a family is preparing for birth, welcoming a baby, or adjusting to life postpartum, my goal is to provide calm, continuous, and personalized support while honoring their unique journey.
