Postpartum Doula Support

Cocomama Doula

Supporting individuals and families through the transformative periods of pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum recovery. Drawing from personal experience as a mother, I intimately understand the challenges and joys of the postpartum phase. As a mother myself, I understand the profound impact of the postpartum journey.

As a birth and postnatal doula, my passion lies in supporting and nurturing families during the transformative journey of pregnancy and early parenthood. I am proud to be a certified Postpartum Doula by the Newborn Mothers Collective credited by a midwifery school in Australia and a Babyem Maternity Nurse with over a decade of dedicated experience in nurturing newborn mothers and babies. My journey in this field is deeply rooted in evidence-based practices, holistic wellness, and a genuine passion for enhancing the postpartum journey. 

My passion for supporting new families led me to pursue various courses and experiences aimed at enhancing my knowledge of birth-related practices from the vibrant streets of Goa where I trained in Ayurveda Nutrition and Cooking to the sunny shores of Miami where I became certified in Prenatal Yoga Khalsa Way with Gurmuk Khalsa and back to Spain and the UK. Each destination has offered invaluable insights and lessons that have enriched my understanding of childbirth and family support.

I have trained with some of the most esteemed professionals in childbirth. Michel Odent, a prominent French obstetrician, is known for his pioneering work in childbirth practices. He introduced innovations such as birthing rooms, birthing pools, and the concept of the fetus ejection reflex, fundamentally transforming modern obstetrics. Additionally, I have trained with Naoli Vinaver, a highly respected Mexican midwife renowned for integrating traditional Mexican midwifery with contemporary home birth practices.

As your Doula, I take pride in being your trusted companion throughout the entire parenting journey. Whether it's providing the latest information, lending a listening ear, or offering practical advice, my mission is to empower families to navigate each stage with confidence.

““Thank you for being so loving, gentle and kind with our sweet angel.

Thank you for tending to his every need and setting him up for a wonderful, safe, and calm start in his life. We could not appreciate this more! I know he misses you already as do we while we embark on this next chapter of parenthood. These months and time with you will be forever in my heart.”

  • As a certified Método Laxmi Instructor, trained in Spain, I ensure this complete pregnancy program facilitates easier and safer birth experiences, overcomes fears, strengthens your body and trains your uterus. This is a physical and emotional training program that improves the mother’s health in general and does very specific work on the uterus.

    This comprehensive approach encompasses:

    • Physical training tailored to prepare the body for childbirth.

    • Body awareness techniques to enhance mindfulness and connection during labour.

    • Meditation practices to promote relaxation and mental clarity.

    • Emotional support to address the varied feelings and challenges associated with pregnancy and childbirth.

    • In-depth knowledge about physiology and rights, empowering mothers to make informed decisions.

    • Assertive communication skills to effectively advocate for their birth preferences.

    • Ongoing accompaniment and guidance throughout the entire birthing process, ensuring a supportive and memorable experience for all involved.

    • I strive to empower mothers and their partners to navigate childbirth with confidence, resilience, and a deep sense of empowerment.

  • As part of my postpartum doula services, I draw upon the invaluable expertise gained from my training as a maternity nurse at Babyem. My heartfelt mission is to empower mothers and families with the essential tools, knowledge, and ongoing support needed to care for their newborns. I approach each family with a holistic and thoughtful mindset, offering guidance that is tailored to their unique needs and preferences.

    My goal is to help parents make informed choices by explaining not just what needs to be done, but also why, using evidence-backed practices. Additionally, I provide practical advice on how to apply theoretical knowledge to meet the individual needs of each child. I am dedicated to walking alongside parents through the joys and challenges of early parenthood, offering unwavering support and fostering confidence every step of the way.

  • As a postpartum doula, my focus is on providing compassionate and comprehensive support for mothers and newborns during the early days, weeks, and months after birth. I assist with breastfeeding and lactation support, newborn care, and establishing healthy sleeping routines, always prioritising the well-being of both mother and baby.

    I’m here to provide you with the support and guidance you need during the transformative postpartum period. Whether you're a first-time parent or adding another member to your family, I offer personalised care to help ease the transition, ensure your well-being, and create a nurturing environment for your baby

  • An integral part of my postpartum doula support services is grounded in evidence-based practices and a holistic approach to wellness. I aim to uplift the postpartum experience by providing tailored guidance on nourishing foods and mindful eating, supporting postpartum recovery and overall wellness. I am dedicated to helping mothers feel strong, healthy, and empowered as they embrace the journey of early motherhood. 

  • Closing the Bones is a deeply sacred and ancient postpartum healing ceremony designed to honour and nurture mothers after childbirth. This ritual creates a safe and caring space for mothers to express and re-integrate their feelings about pregnancy and birth. It also provides a meaningful opportunity to celebrate and mark the birth of both the newborn baby and the mother. My goal is to offer a supportive and nurturing environment where mothers can feel cherished and empowered during this transformative time.
