Hi, I’m Polina 👋

I’m a Certified Birth Doula (CD(DONA)) and Childbirth Educator here in Calgary. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey with care, compassion, and knowledge.

With years of experience supporting women in different countries, I combine evidence-based education with mindful practices to help you feel calm, confident, and empowered every step of the way.

I believe birth is not just a moment—it’s a powerful, life-changing experience that deserves to be met with trust, love, and support. 💕

We’re so happy to have Polina as part of our Calgary Birth Essentials team — her warmth and wisdom make every class a truly meaningful experience for families. 🌸

No parent should feel alone.

You already move a lot as a new mom — lifting, carrying, rocking, soothing. But this class is different. It’s your chance to reconnect with your body again.

As the cozy fall days arrive, it’s the perfect moment to stretch, breathe, and release the tension that motherhood can bring. 🧘‍♀️
Our Mom & Baby Yoga helps you restore balance and strength — all while bonding with your little one.

What makes it special:

• Gentle, postpartum-safe yoga focused on breath, healing, and alignment
• Your baby is welcome right beside you — no need to find childcare
• A friendly, supportive space where moms connect and babies giggle
• Small groups in a modern, spacious environment at Calgary Birth Essentials

You can join our 4-week series for $85 or drop in anytime for $25 — we’ve made it easy to fit your schedule.

Take a deep breath.
This is your time to heal, to move, and to truly care for yourself.

Hi, I’m Jody!

I have been working as a registered nurse in maternal and infant health for over a decade. I am passionate about helping others to learn about the amazing things our bodies and minds are capable of within the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences.

My passion comes from witnessing and facilitating birthing families as they make this incredible journey together, and seeing how truly empowered they can be.

When I’m not at work in the hospital or teaching you can find me playing the French horn witha local wind symphony, crocheting, creating art, wrangling my many pets, paddleboarding, or spending time with loved ones.

I look forward to learning and exploring alongside you!
