Doula
As a doula, I support the pregnancy and labor that you wish to have, as well as the postpartum period, taking care of your emotional well-being. I listen to you and inform you so that you can exercise your power to choose. I trust you, woman, because you have the ability to create and connect with your instinct.
I offer you a confident and reliable place where you can share your doubts, worries and fears on maternity. I provide you with tools to face them, with activities that help you train mind and body, transforming those beliefs that overwhelm you. I also use meditation, Carnatic chanting and voicing (based on Voz en Parto technique) in my sessions, as they make it possible for you to relieve of stress, concerns and limitations, recovering calm, trust and the connection with you and your baby.
As a doula I also work with your children on the arrival of the new brother or sister: how can the birth develop, first encounter and how their time will have to be shared.
A doula’s support means an added value to generate confidence in the woman herself and her upbringing partner. My services as a doula do not substitute nor replace medical advice, prenatal care, medical assistance for the newborn or during labor.

WHAT IS A DOULA?
A doula is usually a professional woman who has been trained to provide emotional support to another woman in her journey to motherhood (fertility issues, pregnancy, birth and postpartum). Among others, she helps the mother to recognise the feelings that appear about the different stages, accept them and begin to walk from there.
If so is requested, she also gives objective information so that the woman can take her own fully aware decisions, always respecting her choices, whatever they may be.
During labor, her essential function is to protect the mother, so that she can find herself in a friendly environment, boosting and making easier the flow of the natural process.
It should be pointed out that a doula is not a healthcare worker, and therefore she does not diagnose nor provide medical assistance by any means. Neither is she a friend, a sister or a mother, given that she has received specific training to perform her work. Make sure that so be it.
AND A DOULA… WHAT FOR?
- To recover the trust in our power as women and connect with our instinct.
- To recall that our body is prepared for creating life.
- To find calm and peace in the way.
- To have information that helps us in the process and allows us to decide.
- To recognise our feelings, embrace them and accept them as a normal and healthy part of our being.
- To know how deal with our emotions so that they work in our favour.
- To prepare body and mind for a quiet and enjoyed pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
