If the woman does not look like a goddess while she is giving birth, then she is not being treated as she should.

Doula present

In addition to preparing to experience childbirth confidently and autonomously, it is common for a woman to want the presence of a doula who understands the very specific needs during childbirth and supports her unconditionally. Monitoring the birth is a very special moment, where the doula provides information, physical and emotional support. The doula supports the woman and whoever she has chosen to be with her when her baby is born. It is present both in your home, at a planned home birth or until the decision to go to hospital, as in the hospital room itself, up to 2 hours after delivery.

Loss Support

Whatever the time of pregnancy, or even after delivery, the loss of a baby leaves deep marks. It changes a family forever. As a doula, I am available to accompany you during the pregnancy termination process, and will be available to support you in the tough period that follows. It is a hard experience, no matter when it happened or under what circumstances.

Over time, however, healing comes. It allows you to grieve and accept what has happened – only afterwards will it be easier to look to the future.

Those around you may also be going through the same grieving process. You can go through several phases: denial, guilt, anger, depression, envy, longing… You can feel setbacks and recognize that this is something quite common. The work done in these sessions is based on compassionate listening, in order to guide you to the acceptance process that, as we know, takes time at your own pace.

Upon request

Doula available in Cascais, Oeiras, Sintra, Lisbon, Amadora, Loures, Odivelas and Almada.

(Mental health care professionals are highly recommended if you feel that the weight you are carrying is too much for you.)

Blessings Tea

The blessing tea is a meeting imbued with symbolism to inspire and encourage pregnant women. An alternative to a conventional baby shower, this ceremony is one of the most affectionate – and spiritual – ways of caring for a pregnant woman. There is no protocol or too much complexity, we just want to celebrate the mother.

We design a mandala on the belly, extolling its deep spiritual symbolism. Its circular shape represents the universe and symbolizes the idea that life never ends and everything is connected. A lotus flower mandala is chosen because it symbolizes the purity of mind, body, words, and detachment from what is irrelevant.

Childbirth is a challenging time, and it is important for women to remember the power and strength they receive from their tribe. A ceremony that the pregnant woman deserves to experience before the baby is born and herself as a mother.
