I was born in Estonia and I came to UK in 2009 to study Marketing with Psychology. Living among different cultures all of my life taught me eventually to question everything (after years of questioning myself) until the facts really resonate with me.

 

I spend years studying and working in marketing until I met my husband (purest of souls, hands-on dad, RNLI guy..) and became pregnant. I passionatly learned everything I could about childbirth and had beautiful natural births both times! It appeared to be a complete opposite to how people around me saw and experienced childbirth and this was the first time I thought about becoming a doula to share what I have learned and believed in! But the short age gap (kids were born only 12 months apart) and an extended maternity leave highlighted everything I ever struggled with. So I started therapy and my personal development journey started, which completely changed the way I saw myself.

 

I learned that I have a highly sensitive personality, which means I am more aware of social stimuli, care deeply and live intuitively. At this point I reconfirmed my wish to give this world so much more than my marketing career. So I completed the training to become a doula and continued to educate myself ever since!

 

I had the honour to learn personally from:

• Dr Michael Odent - an obstetrician in charge of the surgical and the maternity unit at the Pithiviers state hospital (1962-1985), who introduced in the 1970s the concepts of home-like birthing rooms and birthing pools in maternity hospitals;

• Liliana Lammers - one of the original founders of Doula UK, a doula with over 20 years experience with less that 5% home to hospital transfer rate;

• Eva Rose - the first birth photographer in the world; a birth doula fighting the Norwegian medical system since 1998, who travelled the world to learn how different cultures' approach and support birth. 

• Joy Horner - was as a midwife for 21 years, and worked 16 years as an Independent home birth midwife. Now a Sacred Birthkeeper, Perinatal Consultant and Wise Women. 

 

Now I help women see childbirth as natural event by discovering their inner strength and using it to achieve the best and most positive birth possible. I look at birth preparation (check out my birth preparation courses) and support not just from physiological and medical points of view, but also take into account emotional and spiritual aspects. This is exactly what helped me in the beginning of my motherhood journey...
