As a Doula and a Gentle Infant Sleep Coach I am deeply passionate about the wonders of pregnancy, childbirth and baby development.
From my early years as an artist in my hometown of Barcelona, my work was heavily influenced by concepts of conception, emotional wellbeing, femininity, the process of baby gestation and development.
In 2002 I moved to London. I began studying and practising Mindfulness under the guidance of Angus Ford Robertson, himself a student of Eckhart Tolle and Ajahn Sumedho. This has been a most enlightening journey, and now provides an important tool for offering support and guidance during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. In 2019 I decided to end my busy lifestyle working in a large corporation in the City of London, and moved to Barcelona with my family to pursue my true purpose: To support families through the most beautiful and empowering experience of their lives.
I am a trained Doula and a Gentle Sleep Coach, accredited by OCN London and the Child Sleep Institute in the Canada. I'm also a Lactation Instructor and I completed a year of studying Gestalt Therapy at Institut Gestalt Barcelona. I’m a proud mother of two beautiful boys. One was born with medical intervention, and the other - with the support of a Doula - was a pleasurable, natural birth. These experiences, coupled with extensive training, provide me with the tools and techniques to help make a difference to others.
