Doula Support

Women’s life is marked by different feminine passages: moments that symbolically divide life in before and after. These powerful passages are best lived with awareness, support and sisterhood.

In the past, such support came from wise women and rituals that got lost in our modern society. In our times, doulas offer their presence and practices that fill that gap.

Feel invited to call me or book your free 30min RDV so that we can get to know each other and define the support you most need.

Who is Doula?

Doulas provide non-medical, yet professional support in key moments of woman’s life : first or last menses, during pregnancy, birth, post-partum, menopause and in all other moments of passage.

Doulas support women by offering their presence, benevolence and non-judgement with one goal: to support the unique story of every woman.

Doulas do not replace doctors, midwives or psychologists. They respectfully work alongside these health professionals. They are complementary.

DOULAS FILL THE GAP.

Calma Doula

Each doula is unique and offers something specific to her nature, predispositions, skills and experience.

During our first free meeting we get to know each other and define how I can accompany you based on YOUR needs.

My role is to offer you the space where you can put down your questions, your fears, your limits and at the same time, the space where you can become aware of your strength and your courage.

I can also support your body and emotions with Rebozo Rituals or a tailored, specific body work based on my experience as a movement therapist. 

Birth Doula

Birth is a mind governed process that happens in the body and the way we feel about it influences the whole experience. I believe in a holistic birth preparation process that involves all three – mind, body and spirit. 

During your pregnancy we will address everything that you find relevant to your motherhood journey so that you can make your informed choices about birth and early child care to be a mother you want to be. We may also meet with your partner to ensure you get the most adequate support.

You may decide to have my supportive presence during your birth as well as after it, in your postpartum period.

In your words…

'Monika offered me a real psycho-corporal support to help me during my pregnancy and my childbirth. During our process, I made a confident and serene decision to give birth at home and Monika was my doula during the delivery. The work that we had done together completely helped me to free myself on the Big Day. She is an excellent professional. You can fully trust her.'

'I met Monika when I was pregnant with my first child. Monika herself had recently become a mother and had a very positive experience of a natural childbirth, which has always been my wish too. We exchanged information about each phase: pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and raising children. She always felt calm and confident and that increased my own confidence and belief that my body was perfect for all that.'

Mother
'Monika taught me what I needed to know to give birth. Centering. Safety. Presence. Calm. Breath. Our classes were more than lessons of physical exercise. They were shared teachings from a woman to a woman: knowledge exchanged, confidence and trust. I was able to live my pregnancy as a deep process of self awareness and to give birth as a catharsis.'
