About Me
I am a midwife, postnatal specialist, and certified children’s sleep therapist with over 30 years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting. I’m also a mother and grandmother, and my work is grounded in both professional training and lived experience.
My approach is physiologic, trauma-informed, and deeply compassionate. I meet families where they are—with care that is practical, gentle, and rooted in respect for each parent and baby’s unique journey.
I am a registered midwife and offer home visits, online and in clinic consultations. My services are available in English. Alongside my practice, I run the YouTube channel Journey of Parenting Portugal, where women share their birth stories and raise awareness of maternity care experiences in Portugal.
Whether you’re preparing for birth, recovering from it, or navigating sleep or feeding challenges, I’m here to support you with presence, insight, and heart.
