I started my business in 2022 after completing my birth and postpartum Doula certification training, and began my journey to becoming the skilled, knowledgeable, passionate birth advocate and the postpartum support that I am today. Educating women on how to prepare your mind, body and soul for your birth and postpartum journey during your pregnancy is paramount to feeling safe, confident and ready
. I will guide you on what to expect from your body during labour; physiologically, spiritually and emotionally; along with learning about what your options and choices are for the birth that aligns with you, (be it a home birth or hospital birth). "knowledge is Power, and this is my happy place. I am also passionate about helping women find their village, and serving them as a postpartum doula at home and mothering you, the mother. I am a mother myself to two beautiful kiddies with personal experience in having two un-medicated vaginal births, one waterbirth, and one hospital birth. Being an immigrant and having to learn about the differences in the medical systems, I wish I had someone with my knowledge and passion as a Doula to support, encourage, love and guide me. I suffered postpartum depression too and feel that it was so unnecessary, had I got the support every new mother needs and deserves, so these are my driving forces to fulfil my passion to be an amazing, successful Doula. I never want any woman to experience lack of support, fear and loneliness during this really special, beautiful and magical time in their lives. Having the support, knowledge, guidance and love that you deserve can set you up for an easier, rewarding, happy and relaxed parenting journey. I believe empowering women like yourself with this knowledge leads to better outcomes for you, your baby and your family. I work closely with you to ease your fears and worries and replace them with peace, confidence and trust whilst planning your pregnancy, during your pregnancy, during your birth and postpartum too because...
I believe in YOU, your INTUITION and YOUR innate ability to birth your baby! I believe that you can find that ancestral inner strength, courage and power you didn’t realise you had all along. During labour and birth the connection that can arise between you and your partner can grow to a deeper level as a couple, and I make sure you are both well prepared to feel confident and relish in and enjoy this amazing time. I do not take your partner's place at any time. I believe in the bravery that comes with being vulnerable, and sometimes that may be showing another version of yourself you didn't know you had.
I honour and encourage you and your partner to cherish and witness the transition from a woman into a mother with pride and grace. I work to bring you and your partner in harmony and unity and bond with each other on a deeper and more intimate level. I will capture and document your whole birth story — wherever it happens, however it happens, every time it happens. With love, light and support
Paola, your Doula # # #
