Birth Support & Preparation
Preparing for birth, held in trust, guided by your own wisdom.
Drawing on my background in anthropology and my training in trauma-informed care and Compassionate Inquiry, I bring particular attention to these personal and intergenerational dimensions. We make room to explore how previous experiences, attachment patterns and family stories may influence the way you approach birth and parenthood.
Preparing for the unexpected
Birth does not always unfold as planned. Together, we explore different possibilities and choices, helping you formulate questions for your medical team and identify what matters most to you. We create a birth plan that reflects your preferences and values while remaining flexible enough to accommodate changing circumstances. Whether you are planning a physiological birth, a hospital birth, a planned caesarean or a birth after a previous difficult experience, your needs, values and circumstances deserve to be heard and respected.
A preparation that honours the whole person
My accompaniment brings together contemporary knowledge of birth physiology, traditional wisdom, emotional preparation and embodied practices. Depending on your needs and wishes, our meetings may include:
Exploring the physiology and stages of labour and birth.
Exploring fears, expectations, previous birth experiences and family narratives.
Understanding the emotional and psychological dimensions of birth and becoming parents.
Learning positions, movements, breathing, relaxation and comfort measures.
Practical techniques for partners, including touch and massage.
Prenatal massage, meditation and gentle yoga practices.
Preparing for the first days and weeks after birth, including the mother's recovery and the family's postpartum needs.
There is no single right way to prepare for birth. Every family, every pregnancy and every birth is different. Our meetings are shaped around your individual needs, beliefs, resources, medical circumstances, and wishes. My role is not to tell you how to give birth, but to help you feel informed, supported and empowered to make your own choices.
From pregnancy to birth and beyond
Depending on the support you choose, our journey together can continue into labour, with my presence as your doula, and into the early postpartum period. I offer continuous emotional and physical support during birth, helping you maintain a sense of safety, connection and dignity, whatever course your birth takes. Above all, I want you to feel that you do not have to navigate this extraordinary transition alone.
