Vanya is wonderful! She is so welcoming and made me feel like I was a part of her yoga family from day one. I really looked forward to her live classes every week. Vanya offers an immensely supportive space for mentally and physically preparing for birth but also for connecting with other moms-to-be. I gave birth to my daughter (my first child) in December and my birth experience was everything I wanted it to be. I truly believe that was in large part thanks to the preparation I did in Vanya’s classes. I am so thankful I found Vanya and the Cherished Life community!

Vanya was highly recommended by a dear friend and I am so thankful for her! I delivered during the peak of COVID so unfortunately Vanya wasn’t able to be at the hospital physically but even having her virtual presence made all the difference. She was on FaceTime with us overnight - from the moment I texted her my water broke until shortly after delivery. She was coaching us through contractions, instructing the nurses what I needed and being affirmative the entire time! Even prior to labor, Vanya was very present. We were fortunate enough to have our first meeting in person and I instantly knew we’d made the right decision by choosing Vanya to be our doula. I will continue to suggest Vanya to expecting mothers!
