As a doula, I provide emotional support and information based on scientific evidence related to the physiology of pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and postpartum so that you and your partner can clarify your questions and have a peaceful experience in parenthood.
During our doula support sessions, in addition to scientifically based information that helps to demystify common childbirth myths, we’ll explore practical techniques your partner can use to support you during labor.
Besides preparing for childbirth, we will also explore Physiologic Baby Care — an approach designed to create the optimal conditions for your newborn’s adaptation, while supporting you as a new mother, so you can navigate this new chapter of life as smoothly and confidently as possible.
Tools like massage, breathing techniques, and Yoga asanas offer powerful benefits during pregnancy and postpartum, such as:
Softening and relieving tension in your pregnant body
Connecting you deeply with your inner wisdom
Strengthening the spine and broadening the pelvis
Improving blood circulation, providing more oxygen for your baby
Boosting the immune system for both mother and baby
Enhancing physical condition by stretching and toning muscles
Balancing your body energetically
Inducing a calm, focused mental state to support you during birth
