Birth doula supporting women and couples through pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came to this work through my own experience of pregnancy and birth \u2014 and through a deep interest in how women are supported, informed, and treated in this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birth is often surrounded by strong opinions, medical language, and uncertainty. What I saw \u2014 both personally and professionally \u2014 is how easy it is to feel overwhelmed or disconnected from your own experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My role is not to tell you how your birth should look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I support you in understanding what is happening in your body, navigating the system you are giving birth in, and making decisions that feel clear, informed, and aligned with your values.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\n

Professional Training<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I trained as a birth doula in Bali with Ibu Robin Lim, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, and Naoli Vinaver, in an environment deeply rooted in physiological birth and respectful care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I continue my education through ongoing trainings, including aromatherapy for childbirth and further certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a background in documentary film, I bring a strong sensitivity to observation, presence, and the emotional nuances of each experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who wish, I can also offer discreet visual documentation as part of my support.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\n
I work with women and couples across Europe \u2014 online and in person.
I am based between Milan and Como, Italy.<\/h6>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\t
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\t\n\n

This work, for me, is about presence, clarity, and continuity. A person needs another person \u2014 especially at the time of birth.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
