DOULA
Woman supporting women
My practice is feminist and inclusive. I honor and support all family configurations and identities without judgment.
ABOUT
Born in Brussels to an Italian family, I have a degree in political science and am passionate about social issues of equality and gender. The birth of my son in 2019 made me realize longing for community where social ties take precedence, where mutual aid is the norm, and where life's major milestones are celebrated and honoured.
Putting back women and families at the centre of birthwork.
For me, a doula is a shield that allows women and families to maintain their decision-making power over their bodies and parenting.
Inspired by Michel Odent's research on the physiology of birth and by Karine Laseva and Mélanie Loup's research on the role of the doula, supported by the use of local herbs and plants, often harvested by me in the hills of Bugey (01), I offer a holistic approach to supporting women and families through major life transitions.

CONTACT ME
The relationship between a doula and the woman she supports is special, intimate and profound. Before embarking on this journey together, we need to ensure that we are compatible and align our expectations.
