Meet your doula
Discover the heart behind Belly Buddy Care. Learn about my journey to becoming a doula, my passion for empowering mothers, and the unique holistic support I offer for a confident and joyful birth experience.
My journey to doula care
My name is Katrin Shevchenko, and I am excited to bring you everything I have learned throughout my experiences as a doula. My journey started in Sutter Sacramento, where I first became a certified doula through their volunteer services. I then went on to receive my certifications in lactation consulting, prenatal support, postpartum support, and birth support through the International Doula Institute. Based on what I have encountered thus far, I recognize that moms often face significant anxiety and fear surrounding childbirth. My deepest desire is to make their deliveries as low-stress as possible, instilling the confidence they need to welcome their newborns successfully. I am committed to supporting you every step of the way and will do everything I can to accommodate your individual needs.
Holistic support for a confident birth
By integrating various induction exercises, soothing essential oils, and hydrotherapy, my goal is to create a calm and empowering environment for you, and to support your body's natural processes and enhance your birth journey.
Your supportive journey with Belly Buddy Care
From the moment you choose Belly Buddy Care, you can expect unwavering support, encouragement, and effective communication. Before, during, and after birth, I am here to make you feel confident and cared for. I believe in celebrating this incredible journey, and often surprise my patients with thoughtful gifts as a token of appreciation. Let's embark on this beautiful adventure together!!
