About me

Hello everyone, I’m Ligia Carvalho, a certified postpartum doula passionate about supporting families as they transition into parenthood. I believe the postpartum period is a time of deep transformation—one that should be met with care, rest, and reassurance. My approach is rooted in nurturing both baby and parents, offering hands-on support with newborn care, feeding, sleep rhythms, cooking and emotional well-being. Every family is unique, and I tailor my care to meet your specific needs, ensuring you feel confident, informed, and truly supported. In my free time I like to cook, to go on hikes with my husband and travel to National Parks.
