I’m Camila, Brazilian, living in The Netherlands since 2011. I speak Portuguese, Dutch, English and Spanish fluently.
From the experience of giving birth to my first child, I have felt a call to support women during this magnificent process of becoming a mother. When my second daughter came I found the professional course for Doula, and that fullfilled my dream.
I have always studied and worked for the improvement of well-being. With the study of body therapies such as massages, Reiki, Aromatherapy, Yoga and meditation, I have been expanding my knowledge and now I integrate all of them in my work as a Doula.
My philosophy is that the woman must be at the center of this transformation process, which goes far beyond the birth itself. Pregnancy, childbirth and then the immediate postpartum period are events that cannot be separated, which is why I provide my complete assistance throughout this journey. Together with the Doula Certification, i also completed studies:
Baby’s Perspective on Birth, Breastfeeding Consultant, Homeophaty for Pregnancy and Birth, Rebozo workshop, Pregnancy massage therapist, Biomechanicals for Birth (including Spinning babies) and Hypnobirthing.
And I keep studying and adding tools to my work, which is also essentially instinctive. With my own experience as a mother, woman, wife, entrepreneur, sister, daughter, I authentically and truly support the new families that are being born.
This is me!
Here in The Netherlands is where i found my call and the enviroment to fulfill my dreams.
One of them was becoming a Doula, and I have to say it takes a village for me to be able to suddenly leave to a birth, not knowing when I will return. When the work hours were long and intense, and then I still need time to land and get back to the routine of the house. I have a wonderful family that supports that and encourage me to keep going.
The kids gradually understand what I do, and why sometimes they wake up and I’m not home. And when I arrive they love to see the pictures of the babies.
I love what i do because it connects me with awesome people. I am a very sensitive and empathetic person and this is essential to my work as it is mostly instinctive. That is why i like more to work with people personally, so i can deeply understand them and with all my knowledge find the right tools for each person that is unique.
Especially as an expat, I deeply understand how it feels living away from our loved ones, and expecting a baby. The individual support and care that i offer brings joy and a deep satisfaction for taking care of yourself and your baby.
It is a pleasure for me to be by your side during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. With all my knowledge and experience, bringing confidence and joy to the new family that is forming.
With love,
Camila
