WHO AM I?

I’m a doula mentor, instructor of baby massage and antenatal courses, Bach practitioner and postpartum recovery specialist.

Hey! Glad to see you here!

My name is Anna, and I help women who live in London, Kent and Riga during the most vulnerable period in their lives.

I provide them with care and professional support.

Who needs a doula?

Everyone needs a doula!

I will help you deal with each question that you are worried about!

1

A mum who’s pregnant for the first time

When you’re pregnant for the first time, the fear of uncertainty and lack of confidence can gain control, so you will need someone that will help to "ground" you in and take deep breaths together with you.
2

A mum with multifetal pregnancy

I have already had the experience of supporting multifetal pregnancies, such mum might require double support. Any birth way should be still available to you.

Even with a planned cesarean a mum might need additional support and information about how to make this experience less stressful.

Mums who already know a lot of information or have already had the experience of childbirth may need extra hands, delicacy and support during childbirth.

Why it’s a bad idea to think “everyone manages to give birth somehow, so I’ll manage too”

You’ve probably heard about only one possible scenario how to give birth - and the role of the woman in it doesn’t look very attractive. It has probably been repeated to you since childhood by a mum, a grandmother or mainstream media, as well. According to this scenario, all that a woman who is giving birth does is suffer, shout, and, sometimes, breathe, while the nurses and female relatives look at her with pity “we know how hard this is, but you need to stay strong and get through this”.

This is approximately how my first and second childbirths went, and later I found out that the classic birthing position is comfortable for the midwives and nurses, but is not natural for the mother and baby and that you don’t have to “endure” and “get through”. With preparation, a plan and knowledge of how to help your body at each stage of the labour process, it’s possible to significantly decrease both the pain and the risk of complications. And I’ve been supporting women in this for over five years.

If you want your supported and informed childbirth, comfortable as possible, come to my Childbirth Preparation courses. I will provide you with support - not just informational, but also emotional.

Your body has created a miracle
