Intro

So my name is Naomi, I was born in Germany but raised on this beautiful island Mallorca.

.

For many years I was struggling knowing what I would like to be.. trying find my purpose on why I came here for and what I am supposed to be doing here.

.

I studied expressive arts and social transformation (art therapy)

.

During the end of my studies I got pregnant with my little girl.

This was the begging of something much greater than I would have expected.

.

I had a fantastic Home-birth but I wasn’t very present, I was to busy finishing my degree and also just thought that I was born to be doing this so I didn’t prepare myself very much. But it was ok.

.

All in all it was still a great experience but then went through breastfeeding problems, postpartum depression and just feeling very lost and lonely.

It surly wasn’t the beginning I was expecting and what I was seeing on “perfect” Instagram posts.

.

I managed to get out of it, found a great tribe of woman with kids and started to enjoy live with my baby.

.

I wanted to be a midwife and really make a difference in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum for other woman.

So I called my lactation consultant and asked her how to be a midwife in Spain.

.

We meet up for a coffee and she started telling me that she is a DOULA… a word I never heard before.

As she went on explaining what a doula is I remember getting goosebumps all over my body, I stared shivering and everything suddenly made sense.

I knew it, I knew that is what I need to do.

My whole life story added up and made sense all of a sudden.

.

I get filled with joy after every encounter I have listening about children, birth, pregnancy.

Creating female tribes and just hearing more and more positive birth stories.

And less and less stories about the depression and loneliness.
