Mentored Birth Doula & Mentored Postnatal Doula

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a fear-free birth and step into parenthood with confidence? I’m here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel knowledgeable, prepared, and at peace as you welcome your baby.
Becoming a mother to my 4-year-old son was a transformative experience that reshaped both my personal and professional life. The beauty of birth and the challenges of postpartum recovery ignited a passion in me to support other women on their journeys through motherhood. With my personal experience as a mother and woman, I am dedicated to helping you navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging path to parenthood with my expertise as a doula. I focus on the emotional and physical health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. My hope is that every mother feels supported and cared for throughout this special time. I speak both Portuguese and Spanish, and over the past years, I have had the privilege of working with parents from diverse multicultural backgrounds. During pregnancy, I offer five comprehensive support sessions covering:
  • Navigating challenges and fears associated with birth
  • Understanding the physiology of labor and medical interventions
  • Infant feeding options, whether breast or formula feeding
  • Creating a personalized birth plan
  • Preparing for postpartum recovery
Additionally, I also offer unlimited contact and support through WhatsApp; availability to be present at birth from 37 weeks and access to all my personal tips and assistance during pregnancy and postpartum for a better and conscious experience. In the postpartum period, my support extends to:
  • Infant feeding assistance (breast or formula)
  • Emotional support and understanding postpartum hormonal changes
  • Practical baby care, including bathing, changing, feeding, and soothing
  • Night shifts to ensure parents can rest
  • Babysitting to siblings
  • And much more personalised support based on your needs
My goal is to ensure that every mother feels empowered, supported, and confident in her journey through motherhood. Do you have questions? Drop me a message!
