Welcome

I am a motherhood mentor and alternative healer, honouring the age-old tradition of women supporting women in various rites of passage through life. I have a passion for all things natural and holistic. My love for children has definitely shaped my life and my choice of career as a doula and healer best allows me to live my passion.

 I trained as a doula in 2003 while expecting my second child, Skyla. I had a previous birth by necessary caesarean for my son Davin so I was aiming at having a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean). Upon having had a successful natural waterbirth with my daughter I decided to follow my bliss and become a doula.

 Since my initial training I have continued updating and expanding my education so that I can draw from a multitude of skills to help mothers during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

I have trained and completed a Birthing From Within childbirth preparation and doula course with Pam England, a therapeutic massage course through Healing Hands, a year long Reiki masters training through The Grange, a lactation management course in South africa, a home birthing doula workshop, an advanced doula training with Jacky Bloemraad De Boer, Birth into being limbic imprinting workshop with Elena Tonetti Vladimirova, a Safe Passage abuse survivor course with Jodi Hall, a Sacred Pregnancy retreat with Anni Daulter and many other useful and essential courses.

I have been honoured to be invited into the sacred space of birthing mothers to assist and support them in their journey into parenthood. I believe in honouring this time old process and giving whatever support and encouragement is necessary to each individual mother as they are birthing.

I believe in living in the moment so that I am fully open to receive the miracles of what is happening right now. This practice has served me well in countless situations including birth as I am able to remain present and focused on what is unfolding and therefore give what is necessary to each moment.

All women need encouragement and acceptance of what is happening to them and I strive to provide this in an individualized manner to all. I believe that birth is a natural process that works best when less interfered with, but I am also open to whatever needs to unfold. I currently live in Finland and am studying towards becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife so that I can begin my life work offering home birthing options in my new country!

 Love and abundance Lia
