Natalia Orlova

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Natalia! After 19 years working as a hospital midwife in Saint Petersburg, Russia, at the Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductology named after D.O. Ott, I moved to the USA. I'm honored to use my experience and skills to help families through prenatal, birth, and postpartum care as a doula. This work is truly my calling.

With nearly two decades of experience supporting families through birth, I bring deep knowledge, a calm presence, and genuine compassion to every family I serve. Whether you're planning a hospital birth, a home birth, or a birth center delivery, I'm here to support your vision with respect and care.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in deep respect for each mother's feelings, preferences, and wishes. Following the ideas of Michel Odent, I emphasize respect for the natural, physiological process of birth, minimizing intervention when possible and creating an environment where you feel safe, private, and free to follow your instincts.

I believe in protecting the birthing space, honoring your body's innate wisdom, and supporting you as you find your own rhythm during labor. At the same time, I work in close collaboration with your medical team, supporting them as well, to ensure you receive the best possible care.

Overall, my goal is to honor your wishes and your body's wisdom while providing calm, knowledgeable, and compassionate support every step of the way.
