Dear Woman,
I believe you have all it takes to birth your child into this world. And it is an honour to witness and be of service to you on this journey into motherhood.
I see my work as a process of reconnecting. Reconnecting the mother with her intimate self, that comes with an eternal strength and inner knowing. This power can have been dormant, and pregnancy is a given opportunity to reawaken it.
doula
/ˈduːlə/
A Doula is a Greek word whose definition has come to mean 'a woman who serves other women'. It is a non-medical childbirth professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and evidence-based informational support to the mother and her partner before, during and after childbirth.
and navigating the birth world is a very personal search which requires knowledge and self-confidence. I am here to show you your possibilities and help connect to your heart desire.
Becoming A Parent
In Pregnancy
During the prenatal sessions the Doula brings evidence-based information for the couples to be able to make conscious choices. As well as physical and emotional support for building a trustworthy relationship and bringing a non-judgemental listening. She helps the couple to look at fears and dreams to prepare the birth and postpartum they envision. Support with creating a Birth plan if desired is part of that.
In Birth
A Doula brings radical presence to the place of birth. Her role is to preserve a calm and safe environment. She will give emotional support for the woman to expand her confidence. As well as physical relief through touch and natural remedies. Practically she can be at service for providing food and drinks, hot/cold towels, driving to the hospital or taking care of other children in the household in case of a home birth etc.
A Doula Brings Trust And Continues Care, Which Has Proven To Have A Big Impact On The Birth Process, Resulting In Shorter Labours And A More Positive Birth Experience.
In Postpartum
During the postpartum visits a Doula will be there to talk about the recovery of the mother and her experience in the first days of her baby’s life. The Doula can cook a meal, give breastfeeding support and possible other doubts can be addressed. If desired there will be space for reflecting on the birth experience.
I am available for parents who are aware of the sacredness of birth and who are looking for a way to give their baby a respectful, human, and gentle landing on earth.
