Who is This Doula?

From conception to birth I offer my professional support with Hypnobirthing classes, pregnancy massage, and doulaing.

Originally a massage practitioner and healer, I spent over 20 years supporting women through various stages in their lives. When I ventured into pregnancy massage, I fell in love with the amazing capacity that we have to create life. I discovered both a vocation and a calling.

A friend who was a doula shared with me the wonders of supporting births. After researching doula trainings, the mother in me felt drawn to become a doula in 2011.

Absolutely fascinated by how our minds create our experiences, I discovered hypnobirthing and qualified as a hypnobirthing teacher in 2015 to give couples the choice of their experience in birth.

Am I Your Doula?

I see the arrival of your baby as an alchemical moment that will transform your family forever. That is why I am devoted to supporting you, your partner, and your baby through one of the most important times of your life.

I will support you in a way that serves your unique needs and wishes. Birth finds us where we are and that is where I meet you, both practically and emotionally.

My home is in Islington, London N19 and I cover the Greater London area.

I am fluent in French, Spanish and English and I have a good level of Portuguese. I teach hypnobirthing classes in the first three languages. Women from those nationalities tell me they prefer to express themselves in their own language, bringing a bit of home to their birthing, away from home.

I support different religious practices in the birthing space.

I am the proud mother of a wonderful grown up daughter whom I raised on my own and I am really excited by the prospect of becoming a grandmother in the not too distant future.

Having reached a time in my life where I only do what makes me happy, being around babies when they come into the world puts a spring in my step. I consider myself to be a wise and serene woman, an elder in my community.
