Meet Natalie
Mama of Three, Doula, Hypnobirthing Educator, Breastfeeding Specialist
Welcome ✨ and thank you for landing here. In case you’re curious, here’s a little bit more about me…
After living in New York, Beijing and London in my 20s, working for various tech start-ups and meeting inspiring people from various cultures, I started to (re)discover my passion in this life. My purpose has always been centred around connection, education and support. Coupled with my lifelong admiration and respect for pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period, I soon realised that the field of birth work was my true calling.
In 2013, I attended my first doula training with Liliana Lammers and the famous French obstetrician Michel Odent. In this training, my doula “fire” was ignited. I learned that birth isn’t just about the birth of a baby, but the birth of a mother, of a father, of a community and of a culture. Michel Odent has a famous saying, which is “to change the world, we must first change the way babies are being born”. When we start to trust what the body can do, we can avoid disturbing a birthing person unnecessarily. And when medical interventions are fully considered and deemed necessary, I can help create the right environment for you to feel relaxed, at ease and safe. My ultimate goal is that we all birth in the way that feels right for us, trusting our body & our baby, with unconditional, loving support, in a safe and relaxed environment.
In addition to my doula services, I have educational and hands-on experience in HypnoBirthing, childbirth education, postpartum traditions, Spinning Babies, and breastfeeding support.
Curious or want to learn more? Feel free to get in touch for a (free and no obligation) initial chat 💗. I’d love to you support you along this wild and individual journey into motherhood, however that looks for you.
