I really wanted to have a home birth without interventions, and that’s why I went looking for a doula who could be with me, and what a joy to find Camila. From the first date I felt safe with her. She welcomed my wishes, made suggestions and on the day of birth, her presence made all the difference for us. Having someone there to say “it’s time to call the Midwife… Don’t you want to change positions?… Shall we go to the shower?…. Do you want water?… You’re doing great!” It gave me the feeling that there was someone thinking about ‘everything’ and so I could focus even more on myself. Thank you so much Camila for being with me at Ben`s birth. We will remember you forever.

Camila, I am so grateful to have had you by my side during one of the most special moments of my life. Your support was essential from the beginning of the process! It gave me security, calm and between one contraction and another we even had a few laughs 🙂 Labor is always full of surprises and having someone to turn to in moments of fear and/or doubts makes a difference! A big kiss from our family!

After one week of giving birth Bellybinding

Bellybinding is a gentle way of sustaining your back and organs after birth. Gives you a feeling of support and hug on your belly that nourishes you and invites your body to come back to what it was before pregnancy. I make this with moxa to warm up back and belly and castor oil.

Wherever and however you choose to birth your baby. You deserve to make your decisions from a place of knowledge. You deserve to feel respected and heard throughout your pregnancy, and birth. I am your loving supportive guide that you can trust and count on.
