Hi, I’m Mirka — the heart behind By Your Side Doula Services. My path to becoming a doula was born out of my own experience as a first-time mom. I walked into birth not really knowing what to expect or what kind of support I truly needed. Looking back, I realize how powerful it would have been to have someone there just for me — someone to reassure me, guide me, and advocate for my needs with compassion and care.

Becoming a doula was deeply personal. I wanted to be the kind of steady, compassionate support I had needed. I wanted to be someone who listens, informs, nurtures, and stands beside you through every wave of labor and beyond. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered in their choices.

As your doula, I offer more than just information and physical support. I bring a calm presence. I provide heartfelt connection, and I have deep respect for your unique story. I’m here to walk alongside you, hold space for your strength, and support you in making choices that feel right for you.

It’s my greatest honor to serve growing families with gentle guidance, emotional grounding, and unwavering support. Your feelings during your birth experience matter. You don’t have to do it alone into parenthood with my dedicated doula services.
