Milky Way Mama provides skilled breastfeeding support, and birth preparation to families in Lisbon

A little picture bio of the things that fill my cup and fill my world:

Family
Friendship
Nurturing mothers and babies
Beautiful animal beings
The wonder of nature
Sunshine
Laughter
Diving deep into life
Practising things that make me feel good: yoga, breathwork, ice baths, meditation, connection, plant medicine, love.

The picture snapshot doesn’t always look this good though - how could it? For there are also dark days and times for retreat, reckoning, and renewal. We cannot have the good without facing the dark sides of ourselves. It takes courage to go there, to be brave and let go. And then to come back whole, but changed.

That too is the essence of motherhood.

Motherhood is a long journey of deep emotions - not all of them pretty. I am here to hold and support you in this journey, from conception all the way through, to help you navigate it as smoothly as possible.

Visit my website to see how I can help you - be it with birth preparation, breastfeeding preparation and postnatal help, monthly cafés, or Mother Healing workshops to help ease the journey for those who need it ♥️

A few days ago we had our final café of the year. What a joy to gather with all these beautiful people shaping the future generation for the better. Love to all of you ❤️

Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at a conference in Lisbon about homebirth in the UK. Though it is a while ago now, I remember those births so fondly and loved facilitating them. When we complain about the NHS, we forget that at least the choice exists in the public health service for birthing outside of hospital. Here in Portugal, this is not an option for women. There are a few amazing independent midwives here supporting women’s choice, but the majority of women have no choice but the obstetric unit. No birth centres either… when will Portugal catch up? It’s time now! We need to keep working on it…

Such warmth in this beautiful group of women and children. Today we also shed tears in celebration of our loved ones who have passed on. It truly is a gift to commune regularly and hold each other in sadness and in joy ♥️

Tomorrow at our Birth and Breastfeeding Café, we will include a pause to honour our loved ones who have departed this earthly realm. We celebrate our cycles of life, and welcome the Day of the Dead as an opportunity to remember, to hold each other in community, and to thank those who came before us for lighting the way ♥️

Born Centre - Portugal’s first midwifery-led unit is on it’s way to Lisbon. I’m very excited to be part of creating this project with a great team .adv . We have a ton of work ahead of us, but how exciting and worthwhile!

What a great day today with who organised the annual Portuguese Midwifery conference. We announced the start of our pioneering midwifery unit project, and connected with lots of amazing people who are passionate about women’s health and improving it through safe, satisfying and evidence-based midwifery-led care.

Looking forward to forging ahead with .adv, Jaime, and help from MUN’s amazing . Thank you to Jennifer Stevens too and everybody’s support ♥️
