Mentored Birth Doula & Mentored Postnatal Doula

I’m Valentina, a Birth & Postnatal Doula, Maternity Nurse, Hypnobirthing and infant massage teacher


Hello, I’m Valentina — and I’m so glad you’re here


For over 11 years, I’ve been walking alongside women during one of the most powerful and sacred transitions in life — the journey of pregnancy, birth, and the tender time after.
To me, being a doula isn’t just a profession. It’s a calling of the heart. A deep belief in women’s strength, wisdom, and their right to feel safe, supported, and seen.


Throughout these years, I’ve learned something vital:
No one should have to navigate this journey alone.
Birth is not just a physical event. It’s emotional. It asks everything of you — your body, your heart, your trust. And when you are held with care, when you are truly supported — everything changes.

Why choose a birth doula?
Because your birth matters.
Not just how it ends, but how it feels. How you are treated. Whether you are listened to. Whether you feel safe. These things stay with you long after your baby is born.

As your doula, I offer grounded, continuous, loving support through labour — whether you birth at home, in a hospital, in water, with pain relief, or without. I hold the space for your choices, your pace, your voice.

A deep understanding of the physiology of birth and how to support it naturally

Emotional support and encouragement during labour, however it unfolds

Physical comfort techniques — breathwork, massage, movement, positions, and pain relief strategies

A calm, reassuring presence throughout your entire labour and birth

Guidance in creating your birth preferences and communicating them with your care team

Support for your birth partner so they feel confident and included

Help in navigating choices and unexpected turns, so you feel empowered and informed


I stay with you from early labour through the birth of your baby — and into those sacred first hours, helping you settle into this new chapter with gentleness and care.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest things — a hand on your back, a word at the right moment, a presence that shift the entire birth experience.

And after birth? That’s when another journey begins

The postpartum time is often overlooked. Yet it’s one of the most vulnerable, beautiful, and raw stages of your life. You’re healing, adjusting, feeding, learning, becoming.
It’s also a time when women are often left to carry so much — physically and emotionally — on their own.

This is where postnatal doula care becomes essential.

As your postnatal doula, I’m there to nurture you as you nurture your baby. To remind you that you matter too.
I offer:

• Emotional holding and gentle conversation about your birth experience
• Holding space for your emotions, questions, doubts, and joys — all of it matters
• Support with infant care, feeding and babywearing
• Guidance around sleep, soothing techniques, and baby rhythms
• Nourishment — sometimes that means a warm meal, other times a warm presence


• Support for your partner or family as you all adjust together
• Deep listening, without judgment

I know what happens when that support is missing. I’ve stood in the quiet of postpartum sadness. I’ve felt the ache of holding it all together while feeling lost inside.
And I’ve also know — how care, presence, and support can transform this time into something soft, empowering, and beautiful.

There is no “right” way to birth or mother. There is only your way.

And whatever your path looks like, you don’t have to walk it alone.
I walk beside you — never in front, never behind — but with you. Gently reminding you of the power, wisdom, and light you already carry within.

So, if you’re reading this — welcome.
You’ve found someone who already believes in you
