Nadrina is a birth and postpartum doula and certified lactation counselor whose approach is grounded in close and active listening. Nadrina appreciates that each family comes to the experience with their own set of circumstances and values, and that as a result there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Her goal is to center your voice and provide you with the information and support you need to confidently make the decisions that are best for your family, whatever they may be. 

Nadrina sees birth as a testament to the power of the mind, of the body, and sometimes of medicine. She is continually amazed by the process and honored to be a part of the experience. Nadrina has supported a wide variety of births, including unmedicated births, planned cesareans, inductions, and VBACs. 

Nadrina lives in Prospect Heights with her roommates and her dog, Frank. In her free time, she enjoys long walks through the park with Frank and hosting dinner parties for friends. Prior to becoming a doula, Nadrina studied modern Middle Eastern history at Yale and worked in political and nonprofit consulting. 

  • "Nadrina is the best! Smart, friendly and non-judgmental! We only had 1 meeting before I unexpectedly had to be induced, but I already felt so comfortable with Nadrina. She supported me at the hospital for more than 24 hours without any complaints! She was a great advocate for me to ensure I had the birth experience that I wanted, despite the fact that things didn’t go exactly as planned. When I came home she made me the most delicious foods. It was so good I ate it for every meal for 2 days! Nadrina will definitely be my doula for my next birth! You will be in great hands with her without a doubt!"

  • "I truly feel having Nadrina as my doula was meant to be. Right from our first interaction I knew I had made the best decision! She was kind and calm, which is something I needed as this was my first pregnancy. I had so much anxiety, worrying about possible troubles in the coming months! Nadrina was always validating my concerns and helped me see things in a true and positive light! She made my pregnancy and delivery a dream by making sure I was fully knowledgeable and addressed all of my questions. I wish everyone could have the same beautiful experience as I did!"

    Tiffany

  • "Could not have survived postpartum without Nadrina. She joined us beginning our first night home from the hospital and took amazing care of our son and of us! Given that this was our first baby, we had so many question - and she always there to share her knowledge and provide reassurance. We appreciated that Nadrina was never pushy with her recommendations and that she really let us take the lead when it came to our boy - it gave us confidence when we needed it most. Calm, even-keeled, and funny (at the right times) - we couldn’t have asked for better support."

    Natalie

  • "I cannot recommend Nadrina enough for how knowledgable and professional she is. She really made an effort to get to know my family and our priorities, and because of this I felt like her approach was very personalized. Nadrina always took to heart that my birth plan was being followed and that I was fully onboard to any changes throughout the process. When I made a decision to change my plan based on a Dr's recommendation, Nadrina encouraged me to take the space and time to consider all aspects of the situation. Thanks to her, I can look back at my birth experience without any regrets."
