Introduction
Giving birth abroad, in a different setting, with limited knowledge of the norms and routines and different language can be daunting, confusing, and might have an impact on your birthing experience. My aim is to help parents from all backgrounds, cultures or creeds feel nurtured and supported and have a memorable experience.
As a trauma informed Doula, my desire is to provide Universal informed care to all, and trauma-targeted care for those who identify as trauma survivors, tailoring my support to your specific needs and priorities, with the primary objective of restoring your power and control. I believe that birth can be a time of positive transformation and as your Doula, I will celebrate your resilience and encourage you to reclaim your sense of agency making you feel empowered throughout pregnancy, labor and postpartum.
My role as a Doula is never to take the place of your partner but to complement and enhance their experience. Forming a support team that is well coordinated and working in perfect harmony so that your partner can be fully present to enjoy one of the most amazing moments in life.
Book a FREE introductory meeting to learn more. I look forward to hearing from you.

~ HOW DOES IT WORK
If you decide that we are a right fit after the introductory meeting, we will meet three more times to discuss your birth and how you envisage it happening. We will talk about your options and choices for the birth and learn more about the process. We will also discuss any fears and insecurities you may have and learn different techniques to help you tackle these. If you so desire, we can also put together a birth support plan, which will focus on the emotional support that you and your birth partner might need before, during and right after birth. This will also serve as communication tool that will allow clear instructions for the support team, allowing space for deep reflection of what the ideal birth might feel like, and what mechanisms should be put into place to achieve this, diving deeper into topics such as resilience, ways to honor self and ways to be honored by others. We will also cover the post partum period and put together a plan for this period. During our time together there will also be ample opportunity to go through methods of comfort, birth positions and massage, if you so desire.
~ ESTIMATED DUE DATE
As your Doula I will officially be on call 24/7 from week 38, however I will always be available by phone, email or messages to discuss any developments, concerns or even if you are in need of someone to share your thoughts with.
~ THE BIRTH
When you go into labor, whether it’s during the day or in the middle of the night, I will come to you, be it at your home or at the hospital. My aim is to be present within two hours and no matter how long you are in labour, I will be by your side until your baby is in your hands and you are settled. My role is defined by your needs. We will go through the relaxation techniques that we practised together before, as well as the massages and counter pressure measures or whatever else it takes to decrease the discomforts of labor. Having this support will ensure a positive birthing experience. The midwife or gynaecologist will intermittently monitor your progress as they are the ones who are medically responsible for the birth of your baby.
~ AFTER BIRTH
During the week following the birth I will visit you to make sure that you and your little one are doing well, I will also be available to assist with any questions or challenges you might be facing, as well as talking about your birth experience.
