Barcelona Doulas
Areas of Support
We offer compassionate support throughout pregnancy and postpartum, helping you feel confident and cared for. Explore the ways we can support you:
Pregnancy & Postpartum Doulas
We offer warm, personalised support through pregnancy and the early weeks of motherhood. We’ll prepare for birth, explore your preferences, and ease any fears. We'll continue supporting you postpartum with emotional care, partner guidance, newborn basics, and recovery tips.
Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga
Gentle yoga designed specifically for pregnancy and postpartum recovery—supporting strength, balance, and emotional wellbeing. Whether you're easing discomfort, preparing for labour, or reconnecting with your body after birth, these sessions are a safe, nurturing space just for you.
Private, group, and outdoor classes are available.
Hypnobirthing
Hypnobirthing helps you approach birth with calm, confidence, and trust. Using breathing, relaxation, and visualisation techniques, we’ll reduce fear and deepen your connection to your body and baby. Hypnobirthing empowers you to birth with presence—however and wherever your journey unfolds.
Babywearing Consultations
Carrying your baby can bring closeness, confidence, and calm. Whether you’re just starting or need help with fit and comfort, I’ll guide you through choosing and using wraps, slings, or carriers that work for you and your baby.
El Cierre Mexicano
A traditional postpartum ceremony that gently supports healing after birth, loss or major transition. Through rebozo wrapping, warmth and ritual, I help you feel grounded, witnessed, and whole again — offering sacred space to release, reconnect, and be held with deep care and reverence.
Thai Massage
Thai Massage supports your body through the changes of pregnancy and after giving birth. With gentle pressure, supported stretches, and mindful movement, this massage relieves tension, improves circulation, and nurtures deep relaxation. It’s a calm, grounding experience that honors both you and your baby.

Questions you may have...
What is a Doula, and how is she different from a Midwife?
A doula is here to support you every step of the way—during pregnancy, birth, and the weeks after your baby arrives. We focus on your emotional well-being, providing guidance, reassurance, and practical support so you feel confident and empowered throughout your journey. We also help you navigate the logistics of giving birth, whether at home or in a hospital, explaining what to expect, what protocols are in place, and what equipment is available.
A midwife, on the other hand, is a medical professional who takes care of the clinical side of birth. This includes monitoring the baby’s heartbeat, checking blood pressure, and performing vaginal exams. While midwives focus on the medical aspects, we focus on you—your wishes, your comfort, and your experience.
Can a Doula advocate for my birthing choices?
Absolutely. While only you and your partner can make legal healthcare decisions, we are here to support your voice. We help you understand your options, clarify your wishes, and encourage you to speak up with confidence to the clinical team. If something happens that doesn’t align with your birth plan, we’re here to gently remind you of your choices and guide you in advocating for yourself. Our role is to help you feel informed, confident, and in control.
What kind of support can I expect during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, we’re by your side to answer questions, provide reassurance, and help you feel prepared. We guide you through birth options, help you create a plan that reflects your preferences, and give practical advice for comfort and wellness. We’re here to make sure you feel supported, informed, and empowered as your pregnancy unfolds.
Do you attend births?
At this time we do not attend births, but we can put you in touch with amazing doulas and midwives who do.
Do you offer postpartum support?
Yes. Our support continues after your baby is born. We help you navigate the early days of parenthood, providing emotional support, guidance with breastfeeding and newborn care, and advice for your own recovery. We also connect you with resources when needed, making sure you feel supported, confident, and cared for during this special but sometimes challenging time.
How do I know if I need a doula?
If you want someone by your side to guide, support, and reassure you throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, a doula can make a big difference. Whether your goal is to feel informed about your choices, have emotional support during labor, or simply have a trusted companion to help you navigate the journey, we’re here to ensure your experience is as positive, empowering, and fulfilling as possible.
How much do doula services cost?
Our services are tailored to your needs, and the cost depends on the level and duration of support you choose. We offer packages that may include prenatal visits, postpartum follow-ups and other services. We are happy to discuss pricing and create a plan that works for your needs and budget.
How far in advance should I book a doula?
It’s best to reach out as early as possible, ideally in the first or early second trimester. This gives us plenty of time to meet, get to know each other, and create a personalized plan that ensures you feel supported every step of the way.
Do you offer virtual consultations or support?
Yes! We offer virtual consultations by video call for prenatal planning, postpartum support, or any questions you may have. In some cases, virtual support during labor is also possible, giving you peace of mind even from a distance.
Do you provide support in languages other than Spanish?
Yes. Our services are available in Spanish, English, and Italian, so you can feel fully understood and supported in your preferred language.
What areas do you serve?
We provide doula services in Barcelona and the surrounding areas including El Maresme, Sant Cugat, Rubí, Sitges, Castelldelfels... reach out to us with your location.
If you are outside the Barcelona area, we can discuss arrangements to make sure you still receive the support and guidance you need.
