What is a doula? 

A doula is a person who provides non-medical support to women and their partners around the arrival of a child and during other life transitions.

​

I offer a caring presence, as well as emotional, physical and practical support, together with information and tools to help you move through each stage with greater confidence and peace of mind.

​

My specificity as Yoga-Doula® 

​

As a Yoga-Doula®, I can incorporate prenatal and postnatal yoga practices, as well as breathing, movement, relaxation and body-awareness tools when they are relevant and welcomed.

​

These practices are offered in a simple and personalized way, without the need to practice yoga or follow any particular philosophy.

​

My role is to:

  • Listen to you and support you without judgement.

  • Respect your choices, your story and your own pace.

  • Offer you tools to better understand your sensations and draw on your own resources.

  • Share reliable information and resources to help you make your own informed choices.

  • Connect you with organisations and professionals who can support you when your needs fall outside my scope of practice.

  • Support you alongside your chosen medical team, without ever replacing them.

​

You remain at the heart of the decisions concerning your journey. My role is to support you, listen to you and help you find what feels right for you.

​

I do not perform any medical procedures, I do not speak on your behalf, and I do not replace the advice or care provided by healthcare professionals.
