I was born in Lisbon in 1981. I am a mother of two children, and it was my own experience of motherhood that profoundly shaped my path. After several years of infertility, the birth of my first child in 2012 marked the end of a long and challenging journey, and the beginning of many questions. The birth itself was difficult, and my breastfeeding experience brought further challenges, which led me to seek answers and a deeper understanding of what I had lived through.

In 2016, the birth of my daughter was a different experience: a respected birth, supported by a doula, which allowed me to experience childbirth with more awareness and confidence. That was when I truly understood the impact that continuous support can have.

From that moment on, I began my work in the field of maternity, first as a breastfeeding counsellor and later as a doula.

Alongside this path, I continue my work in research. I hold a PhD in Marketing from ISCTE-IUL, where I conducted research on consumer behaviour and sustainability. Today, my interest focuses on the field of childbirth, seeking to bridge research and practice.

Over the years, I have undertaken extensive training in areas such as physiological birth, women’s health, breastfeeding, somatic practices, and postpartum support, with the aim of offering informed, consistent, and tailored care to each family.

I support families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, both in person and online, in the Greater Lisbon area, at Casa do Jasmim, a calm and safe space in Carcavelos, Cascais.

I believe in the importance of respectful, evidence-based care, where each person is heard and supported in their choices, to help create a calmer and more fulfilling experience of parenthood.
