About me

I used to be a nurse in Brazil for 16 years. I would like to proceed in this area because I have always enjoyed working with prenatal and natal stages, including babies aged 0-6 months in the hospital. I decided to concentrate more on being a doula since it encompasses more of what I love to do. I have worked as a combination of an at-home nurse and post-birth baby care for mothers fresh out of the hospital. But since moving here instead of being a nurse again, I have decided to be a certified doula.

Service introduction

I provide postpartum care services designed to support both mothers and newborns during the recovery and adjustment period. My offerings include breastfeeding orientation, assistance with latching, and nipple care to ensure comfort and confidence in feeding. I also guide families through newborn sleep schedules, offer overnight baby care, and help mothers find comfortable sleep positioning. In addition, I provide care for C-section scars, orientation on post-birth bleeding, and general at-home recovery support. Altogether, my services are tailored to promote healing, rest, and nurturing for both mother and child.
