Hi! I am Kasia Junak

A Midwife, a Doula CD(DONA), a Shantala Massage Instructor.

I have been in a birth world for over 15 years. I started my journey in supporting women by studying Midwifery at Medical University in my home country Poland in Europe. I finished my higher education with a Master’s Degree in Midwifery and began working in various hospital settings.

Through all these years, I gained experience in numerous fields of midwifery – I supported the moms during birth, worked in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), and helped solve issues with lactation.

After a while, I realized that my midwifery career was too focused on a clinical experience instead of a mother as a person. I believe that the holistic approach during such a beautiful chapter in every woman’s life – pregnancy and birth – is crucial.

I started adding emotional support, working with a gentle touch, and staying in a mindfulness state to spread my calmness and presence with birthing families and holding space for them during their unique life experiences. I realized that the support I had been offering at that time was an excellent fit for Doula’s work scope, which started to be fascinating to me then.
