Our Philosophy
Our personal philosophy on the Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Continuum.
Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are portals for transformation -- physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. In all of the work we offer, we are extremely aware that every mother's needs are different. Therefore, all services are offered from a holistic approach. We believe birth is not linear, and therefore needs to be approached from a wide perspective and a well-developed skill set that draws from science and evidence based research, as well as the deep intelligence of the human birthing body, and crystal clear intuition.
We also deeply honor the fact that birth opens portals to deeper states of consciousness and the inner subtle transformation to motherhood, and the ways in which this will shape your life and the meaning you give it.
We aim to keep this awareness in all the work that we do, and that all these journeys are deeply personal for you. It is therefore our job as a doula to deeply listen, and stay in tune with your needs, wishes and your personal sensory experiences at all times.
Meet Your Doulas Ana & Iris
Ana and Iris are two leading sisters on the front lines of women's health and well-being. They have been friends, colleagues and stepsisters for over 10 years. They believe that every woman has the right to be warmly and safely welcomed into motherhood.
About Ana
Ana is a Medical Massage Therapist, Lymphatic Therapist, Postpartum Doula, and Psychologist (MSc). She came to postpartum work through her interest in reviving ancient postpartum traditions, massage therapy, and the women who gave birth amongst her family and friends. When she learned from all of them, her heart sparked, and she knew postpartum care was her field. Ana is a strong advocate for changing the way our cultures in Europe view postpartum care. She is dedicated to helping women remember that happy mamas plan for postpartum care, ask for help, and are lovingly supported through this life-changing and magic transition.
About Iris
Iris is a Hormonal Health Coach and Pregnancy & Birth doula (BSc, MA) specialized in Women's Health. After her anthropological research on pregnancy experiences in rural India, she fell in love with pregnancy and birth. Ever since, she has dedicated her life to all full-spectrum and holistic care concerning women's well-being in all cycles of their life -- from conscious contraception choices, optimizing menstrual cycles and fertility to pregnancy, birth preparation, birth attendance and postpartum.
She works one-to-one and in groups (online and in person), teaches classes and organizes retreats. Iris is an advocate for informed consent regarding women's bodies and dedicates her life tending to the fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum continuum.
