Doula services
Nothing lights me up more than a radiant pregnant woman, an empowered woman with a positive birth experience and the healthiest start to life of a new human being. Having my baby changed my life completely. I want to support you to have a journey that is fear-free and have the best experience possible in pregnancy, birth and beyond. In my work as a doula I bring all the tools from the modalities I have studied such as naturopathic nutrition, yoga and other holistic modalities.
Antenatal doula
Preparing for birth is imperative and often pregnant mamas do not realise the difference it will make to their birth. Birth is a powerful initiation, a right of passage. It takes work! Proper preparation can contribute to positive experiences. It is proven and widely accepted that doulas contribute massively to better birth outcomes. It is my honour to help you prepare for your birth on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
A package of three antenatal sessions to check-in on your pregnancy, prepare you for birth and postpartum. In these sessions I visit you at your space or hold space online and we go through each stage of your preparation.
Session 1: We will discuss your visions, dreams and fears and try to identify the areas we need to work on. We will go deeply into the physiology of birth and stages of labour so that you deeply understand how birth works. This is the most important piece of our work! We will clarify the role of your care providers. I will also offer tailored nutrition and movement.
Session 2: Preparing your birth plan. We will go deep into each aspect of birth so that your care providers have clarity about what it is that you wish for your birth. In this way you will not have to worry for taking too many decisions during your birth and the people that support you will advocate for you.
Session 3: Postnatal planning. A usually neglected but super important piece of your and your new family’s wellbeing.
Optional session 4 to batch cook together and make foods to have in the freezer

Birth attendance: I am on call for your birth from your 37th week and until you have your baby. Once you have signs that you are in labor we will be in contact and soon I will come to find you whether at your space or in hospital. My work here is to make sure you feel calm, safe and supported. I make sure your needs are met and that the birth of your baby goes as smooth as possible and according to your vision.
I have many tools in my toolkit! Depending on what it is that you need I use homeopathic remedies, essential oils, sound, breath-work, movement and guidance in order to bring comfort and hold space for a stress-free birth.
