Prenatal and Birth Support Options

.One expert. Every step.

From your first breath of preparation to the golden hours after birth — I bring everything together so you don’t have to piece it together alone.

I am a certified Childbirth Educator, HypnoBirthing® Practitioner, Birth Photographer, Experienced Doula, and Lactation Consultant. When you work with me, you’re not hiring a service — you’re gaining a trusted guide who will know you, your birth vision, and your family intimately.

Every package is flexible and shaped around your needs. No two families are the same, and neither is the support I offer.

Your first meeting is always complimentary — a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to make sure I’m the right fit for you, to understand your wishes, and to begin building the foundation of trust that will carry you through birth and beyond.

Curious about a calmer, more confident birth experience? Explore the HypnoBirthing® Marie Mongan method — a proven, evidence-based approach to birth preparation that I offer as private, personalised classes tailored entirely to you and your partner.

Cerrado - Rebozo ceremony

This is a beautiful way to close your Postpartum period from 6 weeks (onward) after the birth and to enhance your first weeks of motherhood. This done with 4 hands with the help of a wonderful Doula sister who is also a massage therapist.

We start with a relaxing tea blend, then a soothing floral and herbal bath, and you can have your baby in the bath with you and  a 4 hands massage with an Organic Essential Oil blend mixed exclusively for you and the Rebozo closing ritual. In all, it takes around 2.5-3 hours only for yourself.. 

It is a delightful treat for any new mother, a moment to be cared and pampered.
