Born in Barcelona

I was raised in a humble, loving family in Barcelona.

My parents were dreamers who believed in the power of self-determination and transformed their lives into the one they had always envisioned.

 

I was born via caesarean section and was not breastfed. My mother went through a difficult postpartum period with no support around her—a seed that quietly planted itself in my heart and later grew into my passion for helping others.

Dreamer & Artist

Moving to London

As a young woman, I followed my creative spirit.

After studying Fine Arts in Barcelona, I moved to London in 2002 to further explore my artistic journey.

 

My early work focused on femininity, pregnancy, and the emotional world of motherhood.

 

I had the honour of exhibiting in prestigious venues, including the Affordable Art Fair and The Royal Academy of Arts.

A New Chapter in London

London was a city of growth and transformation.

I began studying Mindfulness with Angus Ford Robertson, a student of Eckhart Tolle and Ajahn Sumedho. This practice was life-changing, and it continues to be a vital tool in how I support families today.

 

With renewed clarity, I ventured into a new path. I joined the corporate world, starting from the bottom and rising to become a Sales Manager in a large City of London corporation. The fast-paced rhythm of London suited me—and it was also where I met Jim, my husband and the father of our two beautiful sons.

Motherhood: The Awakening

Motherhood changed everything

In 2017, our first son, Pep, was born. His birth was long and challenging.

 

As an expat in London, I felt deeply vulnerable and unsupported. My waters had broken, but I had to stay in hospital alone that first night—my husband wasn’t allowed to be with me. After 54 hours, Pep was born with the help of a vacuum and an epidural. While we were overjoyed to meet him, the experience left me with emotional scars—and a clear, powerful intention:
“Next time, I won’t go through this alone.”

Birth Support Barcelona

Birth of Empowerment

In 2018, during my second pregnancy, I prepared with the guidance of a wonderful Doula. I felt strong, informed, and held.

 

Xavi’s birth was everything I had dreamed of—natural, empowering, pain-free, and deeply transformative.

I felt like a lioness: humming, roaring, and surrendering to the rhythm of my body. I welcomed him into the world with peace and presence. It was the most magical experience of my life.
 

You can read my full birth story here.

 

In that sacred moment, I knew my calling: to become a Doula and walk beside other women through this life-changing journey.

Returning to Barcelona

My True Calling

In 2019, shortly after Xavi’s birth, we moved back to Barcelona to live more in alignment with our values.

 

I trained as a Doula, Lactation Consultant, and Gentle Sleep Coach—offering compassionate, continuous support for the whole parenting journey: from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.

Sleep Help Barcelona

Specialising in Sleep

Our family faced another challenge when Pep was diagnosed with PFAPA, a rare condition that caused recurring high fevers and disrupted our lives for years. Sleep was nearly impossible. I truly understand the emotional and physical toll that sleep deprivation takes on families.

That difficult chapter led me to deep research and professional training in infant and child sleep. I now support other families with gentle, respectful sleep solutions that nurture both children and their parents with empathy and care.

Living the Dream

Today, I live a life guided by intuition, love, and purpose.

 

I’m honoured to accompany families—especially expats in Spain—who, just like I once did, seek support, confidence,

and connection.

 

Whether you’re expecting a baby, navigating postpartum, or facing sleepless nights—I’m here to walk beside you.
