hello, im Elizaveta
I was born in the Far East of Russia, where the culture is deeply influenced by Asian traditions. Growing up surrounded by nature, natural medicines, and healers, I developed a strong connection to holistic wellness early on. During my teen years, I lived between New Zealand and Thailand, which further expanded my worldview and deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and traditions.
In my 20s when I moved to the United States, I immersed myself in yoga and meditation, studying with remarkable teachers in New York. I expanded my practice through multiple Vipassana retreats and mantra immersions, cultivating a sense of stillness that inspired me to live with consciousness in every aspect of my life. It was during this time that I fell in love with Ayurveda, a practice that has since guided the way I live and approach wellness.
Becoming a mother to my son, Lyon, ignited a profound calling in me—a desire to support other mothers on their unique journeys. Fueled by empathy and informed by my own experiences, I am committed to offering compassionate guidance to those seeking home births, natural births, and holistic postpartum care. Having experienced the empowerment of a home birth with doula support, I understand the significance of having a nurturing presence during this transformative period.
While my pregnancy and birth experience with Lyon were beautiful, I initially overlooked the importance of my postpartum recovery, which led to postpartum depletion. This challenging experience illuminated the sacredness of the postpartum window, inspiring me to become a certified Ayurvedic postpartum doula. This journey not only healed me but deepened my desire to share this wisdom with other mothers.
Now, as a postpartum doula serving mothers in Los Angeles, I offer gentle guidance, nurturing care, and a sacred space for mothers to discover their own strength and wisdom. Through MATA, I am dedicated to creating a seamless and magical transition into motherhood, providing treatments, Ayurvedic nutrition and support that honor this transformation. My purpose is to empower mothers, helping them navigate their healing journey with grace, awareness, and a deep connection to themselves and their babies.
