She is extremely knowledgeable and had many natural techniques and tools to help relieve some of the pain and stress. I could not recommend her enough! Thank you Elya!”

Neta’s 5 Star review:

“Every birthing woman and her partner should have a doula!!!

We were incredibly lucky to find Elya, who after our first meeting felt like we had known for years. Elya’s calm and friendly presence, as well as her endless advice helped both my husband and I prepare for and trust the birthing process.

Testimonial for montreal doula
Elya talked us through our birthing worries, fears and any pre conceived notions that we had about birth. Providing some fantastic resources and extra research. She also helped me understand that I have a choice in my birthing process and the decisions that were being made about my care. This allowed me to ask more questions, make informed decisions and feel completely comfortable with what was happening both prior to and during labour.
During my labour, Elya was exactly what we needed her to be and wayyyyy more. She arrived at my house first, with everything we needed and created a safe and warm environment for our little one to arrive into. Her massage techniques through surges were incredible. She helped my husband understand what was going on, especially while in our case we couldn’t have her in the labor room, because of COVID’s restrictions. The amazing preparation during pregnancy for me and my partner, helped us manage in the hospital perfectly, even though Elya had to leave us because of the pandemic.

Following our son’s arrival, she came to visit us to ensure breastfeeding was working. In the following days she provided us with wonderful advice and popped over to help out and check on us, which is especially amazing for us sleep deprived new parents.
Having Elya as our doula was the BEST decision we made around our birth and pregnancy. My husband Doron and I are incredibly grateful to her for helping us achieve a birth that we truly wanted.
She is an asset to any labour and we couldn’t recommend her more.

review for montreal doula

 Pamela’s 5 Star experience

“For my first pregnancy she came as my sister. I had her and my husband on my sides and I quickly realized that I needed to move my husband to my back for less distraction and focus on my sister as she became my focal point, my breathing reminder, my masseuse, my cheerleader and whatever I needed all through my 5h labour. I think we both realized she was gifted!”

For my second one it was the same, this time she knew more, we were less afraid and in addition she protected my room like a guard letting me meditate through the pain and focus on myself.
For the third, in the middle of a global pandemic, during the highest number of COVID cases, the end still unknown, I had to make a choice, her or my husband. It was the best choice, with even more courses on her hands, a lot of experience, we moved and danced through this one and in 30m I gave birth to my precious baby. Feeling so good I left the hospital the next morning!” —

Lital’s 5 Star review:

“Thank you very much for all your guidance, support, professionalism and tolerance during my pregnancy. It was very natural and pleasant, and I felt comfortable with you from our first conversation. Thank you for all your advice and tips, for the guided imagery when I had to relax, and for the fun and refreshing dances when I had to be on the move. I am confident that the natural birth of Yuval was a result of the knowledge you gave me and confidence I got through you.”

 Zohar’s 5 Star experience:

“From the moment I met Elya I knew she was the right Doula. She gave us all the information and knowledge of the process with all the details. Gave us the tools for more relax and calm approach to a very stressful situation.”

“We felt in good hands and we had the best experience we could ask. During labor, when it is hard to speak or make decisions, she knew exactly what to do or say. Professional and empathetic!”

“I feel more educated about the process than I would ever be, before and after. And I know she will be in my delivery room again!“

— Zohar Levin

Christian & Chrystele’s review:

We hired Elya to help us with the birth of our first son, and it was a truly transformative experience in which we became parents but she also became family. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she was everything to us and really allowed us to have this awe inspiring journey to parenthood. The birth went really well despite some of the medical challenges encountered. With her at our side we found our voice and really had the birth that we dreamed and prepared for. She’s the best.
