Vera is truly one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She was the most valuable asset in my postpartum journey. She radiates warmth, kindness and compassion. She always knew what we needed, even when we didn't. As a pediatrician, I had a lot of expectations for how things were supposed to go with a new baby. Vera helped me navigate the challenging times while also supporting my physical and emotional healing. She provided nourishing home cooked meals, herbal teas, breastfeeding tips, baby wearing tutorials, frequent check-ins, and so much more. Since our time together, we have recommended a postpartum doula to everyone we know having babies. There are no words to express how grateful I am for her.”

Words can't describe how much Vera's presence was soothing to me during those first weeks. She was extremely thoughtful, nurturing and caring, and I knew my baby was in the best hands possible when not near me - which was the only way I could sleep. Vera was very attentive to my needs as a new mom, always making sure I was carving out time for myself, for resting, eating/drinking (she is also a wonderful cook!) and caring for my body. She always had reassuring answers to all my questions (on newborn care, sleep, healing, and mental health), and also sent me many trusted sources online to refer to when needed. Her energy was positive and calming, which was a gift for us, and we miss her to this day.”

I teared up remembering how much Vera's care and expertise meant to me. She supported me physically, mentally, and emotionally, and helped me navigate the chaos so I could focus on bonding with my daughter. I'll be forever grateful for her guidance and encouragement with breastfeeding in particular. Her compassion and understanding shine through everything she does. She's the best!”

I appreciated her calming presence and support. She has a great personality for a postpartum doula. I felt very comfortable with her in our home and having her watch our new baby. She checked in with me, helped me feel more involved in the postpartum period, and provided opportunities for me to better support my wife as a new mother.”

I wish every woman who experienced the wildness of birth could come out the other side and find Vera waiting for her. She made our postpartum journey a healing, positive, supportive and lighthearted one. She is, no surprise, a baby whisperer. By the end of our time with her, we all felt that Vera was part of our family. I cannot recommend her highly enough. “

“I could not be more grateful to have found Vera and her prenatal yoga class. Her understanding of the journey of pregnancy and postpartum is amazing and her yoga classes are empowering, thoughtful, challenging; as well as yummily indulgent and relaxing. I tried my best to never miss one! What she offers is so much more than a yoga class: its a community of support, a wealth of doula-knowledge, and so much more. I have so enjoyed Vera every step along the way, from her Sunday Prenatal, to our private yoga sessions postpartum, and her Baby & Me class in the park. Vera is amazing. I cannot say enough good things about her!”

“I took Vera's Prenatal Yoga from my first trimester to the last week of my pregnancy. It was my favorite part of the week. Now I'm in the Baby and Me park yoga class with my 8-month old and that is my favorite part of the week. Vera is an incredible teacher and support for all things pregnancy and motherhood. I've been so grateful to attend her classes.”

“Vera, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your Sunday classes. They have helped me emotionally, physically, mentally…everything! I appreciate your empathy, care, and patience so much. It really was life changing and such a calming force through my pregnancy. You are amazing.”

“Vera’s Baby & Me Yoga Class was such an essential part of my postpartum journey. I struggled to find a parents group on the eastside and Vera’s class came to be exactly what I was looking for - a safe and intimate group for new moms to connect, share and move their bodies with their babies. Vera is so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable, I am so grateful to her for this class!”
