Vic Ozadovsky
My name is Vic, and I'm a New York based Doula, who aims to nurture, support and affirm you, while assisting you in reclaiming your identity, your body and your experience. In my practice, I value communication, accessibility, comfort and consent and prioritize making those around me feel comfortable, empowered, and safe.
I provide postpartum services, fertility coaching, assistance with navigating queer + trans parenting, meal support (both as an add-on for postpartum care or a la carte), as well as free or low-cost abortion support.
My Story
After about 15 years of working in various care settings - working as an infant caretaker, an educator, a sitter, a Planned Parenthood Clinic transporter, patient advocate and as a Direct Support Professional - I decided to become a Fertility, Postpartum + Abortion Doula in 2022. I strive to support birthing & non-birthing parents by providing nurturing + individualized care, that affirms their journey, their body and their experiences.
I approach this work as someone who is genuinely passionate and connected to the various identities and experiences you may hold that impact your needs and goals. I specialize in providing postpartum care that highlights bodily autonomy and client-centered healing. I understand that not every individual learns the same way, nor do they want to receive care and support in the same way - this remains a crucial element of my intake process! My approach is always inclusive, but always leaves room for clients to say “no” or “not now” to various forms of support. I aim to uplift YOUR voice, to aid you in making informed decisions that allow you to feel autonomous, knowledgeable, and closer to a sense of dignity. I am passionate about taking a multicultural, gender-inclusive, Health at Every Size Approach, and care about advocacy in these fields on a basis of genuine interest and a commitment to ongoing education.
