Inna Provotorova's childhood dreams were related to medicine. She remembers how at the age of 3 or 4 she heard a voice in her head: "You will be where children are born." But as she grew up, she forgot about it, even preparing for exams to become a veterinarian. However, at the last moment she changed her choice again and eventually became a psychologist. Over time, that distant childhood prediction began to materialise. Inna connected her professional activity with helping women going through pregnancy. She created a swimming-pool club for pregnant women where she helped prepare for childbirth, and after classes they drank tea with pancakes and talked about various psychological topics. Alongside this, she also conducted classes on preparation for childbirth accompanied by a doula.

When Inna moved to the Czech Republic in July 2022, she continued to keep her private psychotherapy practice.

"There was no more strength for anything else. I had to rebuild my own resilience from the inside in order to be able to continue to help women," - she said.

She has now resumed her pregnancy training courses and childbirth support in Prague and wants to expand her opportunities to further help mothers. Inna is looking for a pool where it would also be possible to swim with 3-months-to-1-year-old babies. She wants to teach babies to swim in home baths from their first birthday. Dreaming again of a pool for pregnant women and a supportive circle for our hopeful girls; Inna has big plans. She wants to stay in Prague and continue her activities in all aspects of her life.
