Hey! Agustina here!
You've heard the stories. Too many people planning a physiological birth end up with
interventions and they wonder if it could have been different. You understand
that our current birth culture has veered away from trusting a woman's innate
ability to birth.
Whether you want a waterbirth, freedom of movement, an undisturbed home birth, avoiding medicalisation - or you’re simply determined to make things different this time
after feeling abandoned or deceived last time, you want someone who won't bring
their agenda, their baggage or their fears into your space. Someone who will
support you towards actualizing your own vision of birth, or help you create
one that is authentic to you. If things take a different turn, you want someone
who will walk alongside you through that too, unconditionally, helping you feel
safe and supported through those twists and turns. Your birth experience,
however it unfolds, remains sacred and worthy of honour.
When you imagine giving birth surrounded by people talking, panicking and deciding for
you, it feels overwhelming. You want agency. You want to feel grounded in who
you are, in your ability to birth and make decisions. You want someone who can
create a space where you can move through labour without pressure or judgment.
Someone who understands who you are and what you need to access your greatest
strength. Someone who can hold you physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Someone with the insight and intuition to ask you the important questions and
help you unpack fears and obstacles - before or on the big day - so you feel
ready, confident or even healed.
You also want your partner fully present with you, not lost, not panicking, not standing
awkwardly in the corner. Perhaps they’re shy, or simply unsure how to help. You
want them to know how to show up for you. And you want them to feel emotionally
supported too so both of you get to enjoy this experience.
You will only be pregnant with and give birth to this baby once. You
will be the one embodying motherhood to your own baby, showing up for them,
over and over again. No one else. Make it special.
You know that how your baby comes into the world, and how you both experience that
moment, will leave an imprint on your lives.
Imagine feeling centered and at ease, knowing you have someone who works for you and no one else. I have your back, I see you and I respect you. As your doula, I’ll
bring deep listening, patience, warmth and presence into your space. You will
feel acknowledged, held and cared for - from navigating the maternity system,
to advocating for you in the room, to supporting you beyond birth with the
right referrals, postpartum care and community. As your non-NHS expert voice,
I'll offer evidence-based support and knowledge to help clear the noise so you
can make your own informed choices. I won't be there trying to fix you or
direct you. Instead, I’ll be holding space for your wisdom to lead, trusting
your strength, your intuition and your timing. This is bespoke support built
entirely around you. The perinatal period will lay the foundations of your
journey as a mother. You deserve to step into motherhood authentically, finding
your own feet rather than following prescriptive formulas.
I work for women who are in the process of seeing themselves as adults and taking
responsibility for themselves and their choices. Women who are reflective and
introspective and are willing to do the inner work, as well as the necessary
prep, to get where they want. Women who have had enough of people pleasing and
are moving towards embracing their own voice.
This is what clients have said:
''…since having my baby, I have had to explain to many people what a doula is and the reality is I don’t really know if I’m describing all doulas, but I do know how to describe you. My hunch being that you are actually one of a kind. I’ve never really met anyone else who has the warm and calming presence that you do. Being around you immediately made me feel centered and at ease. You are also highly knowledgeable, intuitive, with relentless kindness and patience. From the moment I met you, I knew that labour would be better with you. And, it was. Thank you for holding me. You prepared me mentally for the birthing experience, understanding who I was and what I needed to feel my greatest strength and engage it. You created space for me (ironically, in the tiny bathroom of my unfinished house!) to just move through labour without pressure or judgement. You also embraced me in my loneliest and lowest moment…” - Jenny
“Agustina was an absolute gift as our doula. From our first conversation, I felt supported, understood and completely at ease with her. Throughout the pregnancy she helped us navigate challenges with confidence, Her knowledge of resources and podcasts was incredibly helpful, and she encouraged us to explore our birth plan in depth, so we went into the birth feeling relaxed and prepared. During labour, she was wonderfully attuned to my needs and quick to arrive when we needed her. Her support was invaluable for me and my partner, who found her presence incredibly reassuring. Without Agustina, I don’t think I would have had the courage to even consider a homebirth - let alone have one. Thanks to her guidance and care we welcomed our little boy exactly as we hoped. We couldn’t have been more grateful to have her.” -JS
“Agustina’s support during my pregnancy and during the birth of my baby was incredible. I had a difficult first birth and really wanted my second to be totally different. She is an incredibly knowledgeable, kind and calm presence. I strongly believe her input resulted in the birth of my second baby being one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, which sounds strange to say but it’s true. She is exactly the person you want in your corner. I am so grateful” - Ash
''Agus was a wonderful doula. We contacted her at the very beginning of our pregnancy, when we didn’t know much about the different birth options available. She guided us along a beautiful path that led to a natural birth with no interventions, which we truly enjoyed. On the day our daughter was born, Agus played a vital role in creating the perfect atmosphere for me to give birth with calm and confidence. My partner, Agus, and I worked together as a team, and we felt deeply supported throughout the whole process.''- Gise
''An amazing experience. After a first birth that ended up in csection and was full of interventions, Agus has supported me through my second pregnancy and an amazing home birth. She has been all that I needed and more, empowering and educating me throughout this journey. She reminded me to trust my body, something that is very much needed for birth but doesn't come easy when the medical team is continuously questioning it. Agustina's work is invaluable and it is thanks to her that I achieved an unmedicated home vbac. Would highly recommend!'' -Bea
''My experience with Agustina was brilliant. From day one she invested a lot of time in getting to know me and my husband. Therefore, she was able to use this knowledge on the big day and support us in a gentle and protective manner. I felt guided from the very first moment. Agustina was able to offer advice in many areas including breastfeeding, vaccinations and labor prep. Additionally, her background in German New Medicine and incredible listening skills, helped us decode some of my fears, so by the time labor day arrived, I was feeling prepared, confident and healed in many ways. I can only recommend Agustina. My labor was a healing experience from my first baby (As my first birth was very traumatic). Thank you for making my dream labor come true.''-Edna
''I was very lucky and happy to find Agustina as my doula! She is very knowledgeable, professional, considerate and caring. She was by my side when I was struggling and also when my birth plan took a U-turn. I loved that the closing of the bones session is included in her package, as this was important for me. She tried to help me at every step of my journey, from writing my birth plan to advocating for me in the Hospital so my wishes would be respected, and also suggesting a lactation consultant & chiropractor after birth. I learned a lot from her and I highly recommend her as a doula.'' Anna
''Agus was my doula for my second baby, after a difficult experience with my first during COVID restrictions, I was adamant I'd have more support second time around. I am lucky enough to have the Carrot benefit at work which funds doula care so I was keen to find one. From the moment I met Agus over video call I felt I could talk openly to her and after a long and emotional phone call I knew she was who I needed. I ended up having a planned section in the end, but I was prepared for a VBAC with her incase that had happened too.... The sessions I had with Agus before and after the section and the 'when needed' WhatsApp contact really helped me feel so supported and contributed to a very positive birth experience. Her network of contacts is vast and she directed me to brilliant lactation consultants, post natal doula care and osteopathy. Her treatments after the birth, including closing of the bones, were fantastic and extremely healing also. Agus is a very special person, gifted with understanding women during this vulnerable time and I'm so blessed to have had her by my side'' Chloe
''Augustina supported us through our birth journey, her approach is gentle, loving and present, she always respected our choices and our path and did her best to support us through these. We found her knowledgable about birth and navigating the nhs system in the best way for us, she was on call and always available for our questions. The sessions we had were helpful and closing the bones was post birth was healing and powerful. She worked as part of a team with another doula who was also highly knowledgeable and experienced, this gave the journey an added dimension as we had the support of two highly experienced knowledgable doulas each bringing their own unique skills. Augustina has a gentle, grounded and loving presence that really made us feel safe and comfortable to have her as part of our birthing journey. We are grateful to her for her support, kindness and love'' Nina
