Westcoast Prenatals run by Dasha Kvyatkovski
RN, BScN, Labour and Delivery Nurse.

The first time I became interested in obstetrics I was 7 yrs old. My mother told me about my birth story right after my brother was born. Since then I have collected many stories; some from Russia, where I was born; others from Israel and Canada where I grew up. These stories fascinated and inspired me, and I graduated from UBC School of Nursing with a specialty in obstetrics. During my university education, I was involved in the Baby-Friendly Initiative Project to promote breastfeeding, and I attended many conferences and seminars, including Penny Simkin's workshop.

I finished a rotation teaching prenatal classes in Vancouver community health unit, and focused most of my elective studies on adult education and psychology.

Currently, I work at BC Women's hospital in Labour and Delivery Unit, Cedar Unit, Assessment Room and Operating Room. I maintain my Canadian Nurses Association Perinatal Specialty by continuing my education with conference and seminar attendance. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
