Growing up in the Brazilian countryside, I became passionate about the healing power of nature at an early age. I was always fascinated by the knowledge my mother had of plants and herbs when she treated myself and my brothers with herbal remedies.
This inspired me to learn more about natural therapies and to share my passion with others. This led me to pursue a 4 and half years Degree in Naturology at the University of Southern Santa Catarina in Brazil.
After graduating and experiencing the richness of this area of knowledge I felt I had something important to offer new mothers during their motherhood journey.
I decided to study further and specialize to become a doula. I did my first training in Brazil and completed a further course of training with Developing Doulas in Cambridge.
Since then, working as a doula has been a journey that involves embracing the qualities within me and understanding that every experience in my life has led me to where I am and also contributes to what I am able to offer new mothers today.
I want to listen to you and make you feel truly cared for, safe and respected. My intention is to create a trusting and nurturing space so you feel comfortable giving birth.
My role is to walk with you, provide information and give you unconditional support and practical help during your pregnancy, during and after the birth.
As a Doula and Natural Therapist I will draw upon my knowledge of natural techniques to ease pain during labour, facilitate birth and assist your recovery after your baby is born.
Childbirth can be transformational when a mother allows herself to receive help and support during this life changing process. It is my purpose to reassure and encourage you when you might have perhaps forgotten the amazing strength within yourself.
I believe many women have the innate power and capability to give birth naturally when the right support is provided.
If you feel I can be the doula you are looking for, please get it touch and it will be a honour to walk this journey with you.
