Olga Zinner
Hi, I’m Olga, the founder of YourCherish Photography & Doula. I have been supporting families as a doula since 2020 and am trained and certified by DONA International. I am also a clinical psychologist and birth photographer, and my approach is trauma-informed, influenced by Compassionate Inquiry and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period, including hospital births, inductions, emotional support during labor, and early breastfeeding support. My goal is to help parents feel calm, informed, and confident throughout the birth process. I speak English, Spanish, and Russian, and I love working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds. My intention is to help you feel safe, respected, and deeply supported as you welcome your baby.
