My Journey

Certified birth and postpartum doula in Toronto and GTA.

Welcome to Warm Hands Doula

My Journey

Hi, I’m Liliya, a certified birth and postpartum doula dedicated to supporting families through one of the most significant and intimate experiences of their lives — pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. My mission is to provide comfort, reassurance, and guidance, ensuring that this journey is as special and meaningful as it can be.

After the birth of my first son, I developed a deep personal interest in childbirth. By the time my second son was born, I had gained a thorough understanding of labor and delivery. Inspired by this knowledge, I decided to train as a birth and postpartum doula, continuing to expand my expertise in the field. Childbirth is a true passion of mine, and working with women during this transformative time is something I truly enjoy.

I have completed a comprehensive birth and postpartum doula program and have earned additional certifications, always striving to learn and grow in my practice. As a proud member of the Association of Ontario Doulas and carrying professional insurance, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and support to families.

It is a great joy and privilege for me to work in this field, and I find immense satisfaction in helping families during such an important time. Whether you’re preparing for childbirth or navigating the postpartum period, I am here to offer compassionate, knowledgeable, and personalized support every step of the way.

Let’s work together to make your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience as empowering and meaningful as possible. Contact me today to learn more about how I can support your family!

Why Choose Me?

Here are a few reasons why I may be the perfect doula for you

A Unique Blend of Personal and Professional Experience

My journey combines both deep personal insights and professional training, allowing me to offer well-rounded, compassionate support.

Firsthand Understanding of Different Birth Experiences

I have personally experienced three very different births — a traumatic birth, an unmedicated birth without interventions, and a cesarean section. This allows me to deeply understand and support women, no matter their journey.

Ongoing Learning and Growth

I continuously expand my knowledge, staying up to date with the latest research and evidence-based practices to provide the best possible care.

Gentle, Judgment-Free Support

My role is to stand by your side, offering care without pressure or judgment. You are never alone—I am here for you, always on your side.

Personalized, Attentive Care

I take on only a limited number of clients, ensuring that each family receives my full attention, care, and a truly individualized approach.

A Blend of Science and Tradition

I rely on evidence-based knowledge while also honoring time-tested traditional practices that have supported women for generations.

Calm, Confident, and Grounded Presence

I bring a steady, reassuring energy, helping you find balance and strength when you need it most.

Comprehensive Birth & Postpartum Support

As both a birth and postpartum doula, I not only assist during labor but also help you navigate the postpartum period, supporting your physical and emotional well-being.

What People Are Saying

Lilya is an incredible doula and a truly passionate professional! As a young mom of three, she brings not only deep knowledge but also genuine care and understanding to the birth experience. What stood out to us about Lilya was her support and availability. Unlike some doulas who have strict time limits and minimal pre-birth interaction, Lilya was there for us every step of the way. She guided us through the entire process, answering all our questions and providing invaluable knowledge during our two pre-birth meetings—honestly, those sessions were more helpful than the two 12-hour hospital courses we took! Lilya was proactive in helping with natural labor induction, which allowed me to dilate before medical intervention. On the big day, she stayed with us for 24+ hours, offering guidance and advocacy when communicating with hospital staff. When labor slowed, she fully supported our decision to go for a C-section, making sure we felt confident and heard. Her support didn’t end at birth—Lilya continued to check in, helping with lactation, newborn sleep routines, and answering any concerns, always just a phone call away. Her knowledge of homeopathy, vitamins, herbs, and teas was an added bonus, offering gentle, natural options without any pressure. I truly cannot recommend Lilya enough! She made such a difference in our birth experience, and we are beyond grateful for her care and expertise ❤️

Having Liliya as my birth doula was one of the best decisions I made! Her calm presence, deep knowledge, and unwavering support made all the difference. She helped me feel prepared, confident, and truly listened to throughout my journey. During labor, she was an incredible source of comfort, guiding me with reassurance and care. Thanks to her, I had an empowering and positive birth experience. If you’re looking for a doula who is compassionate, skilled, and truly dedicated, she is the one!

I am so grateful for Liliya and the incredible support she provided throughout my pregnancy and birth. She was always there to answer my questions, calm my fears, and remind me of my own strength. During labor, her gentle encouragement and hands-on techniques made a huge difference in keeping me focused and comfortable. Her presence brought a sense of peace and confidence to the entire experience. I can’t imagine going through birth without her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate doula!

Liliya, supported me at every stage, always close to me, always with the right words and advice. Thanks to you, I felt more at ease and confident, knowing that I was not alone. I now tell all my girls how important it is to take the doula for childbirth and preparation. Such care and attention is lacking in such moments, I am very glad that I chose you ❤️
