I am a doula and guide through life’s transitions. I feel honoured to support women and partners during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I support women wholeheartedly, offering calm, grounded, holistic care and encouraging families to weave practical, physiological birth knowledge with their own innate wisdom and power. My approach is energetic, holistic and intuitive—blending evidence-based practice, ceremony and ritual to help women connect to their own authenticity. And since I heard that quote, it has changed the way I look at everything. My roots in Andean shamanism shape the way I hold space. Simple, practical work with energy, nature and connection which I adapt to meet the needs of any family, in any situation, with any birth preference. I was lucky to begin my career in Amsterdam, where homebirth is still common and there are many private midiwfery practices and birthing centres supporting women and families. I was certified by BiA Doula Training school; the most incredible women and mentors. I bring their comfort, passion, intuition and trust with me to Ireland, where my family and I are deeply grateful to place our roots and honour the land. Before I became a doula in 2023, I spent 7 years worked with children and families in a range of capacities. These roads eventually led to the incredible world of Birth. I have always been drawn to people; passionate about connecting the dots of existence in a beautiful, sincere way and supporting birth feels like the origin of this purpose. Over the past 8 years I have run a private bi-lingual Montessori daycare and managed a professional nanny agency, where the needs of children and families were at the centre of it all. I became a professional nanny myself at the start of Covid, when I realised just how important family wellbeing is during uncertain times. During my years as a nanny, I built genuine relationships with children and their parents (actually a dream job) which incorporated play, learning, exploration, nutrition and cooking, new skills and a lot of outdoor magic into the lives of children. Bringing in Montessori knowledge and a passion for learning and plant based cooking to create reassuring frameworks for children and their families, many of whom were working from home due to lockdowns. I built lasting relationships with families, who felt at ease knowing their children were being cared for and enriched with genuine, professional care. Outside of birth and energy work, I am passionate about music, art and nature; foraging the hedgerows in ever changing seasons, hiking hills and mountains, photography, seasonal nutrition, cooking (whether Mexican, Thai, Middle-eastern or Indian, I love the alchemy of sauces, cordials, infused oils, deep flavours, hot hot chillies and fresh herbs) and finding alignment to authenticity through nature, ritual and practice.

For centuries, women birthed at home supported by their community. Women quietly, calmly tended the hearth by candlelight. They knew birth couldn’t be rushed or forced into being. Today, a holistic doula weaves old ways and new; returning birth to its innate place of intuitive, feminine power. With an emanently practical toolkit of natural pain relief techniques (massage, counter pressure and acupressure) physiological knowledge , medical pain relief and more. they offers the tangible support and skills you need to prepare for birth and motherhood. Whether you want to birth at home, in water or at the hospital, the continuous care of a doula throughout pregnancy, labour and postpartum has proven more positive birth experiences and outcomes. Step into Motherhood remembering who you are. feeling ready for who you are about to become. When you meet the right doula, you and your birth team - whether partner, friend or family will walk (or waddle) into birth feeling confident, calm and aligned; ready, no matter the twist or turn labour takes. Doulas have the honour of knowing you more deeply than a medical professional might have the time to. Several heartfelt sessions together attune a doula to your needs; how you experience comfort and discomfort, the subtle signs to look for when you need help or reassurance, whether you need physical touch, laughter, silence or space in any given moment. She is part of the support system you turn to when you are overwhelmed by the sensations of birth. She knows labours expressions in mind, body and soul, helping you to ride each wave. A holistic doula walks the seen and unseen with you, sharing, listening and preparing for the physiological stages of labour, as well as the deeper side; the emotional, the spiritual, the past, the fears, the traumas, the wishes, the letting go, the surrender. Today, our wise birth experts are often cherished midwives and valued doctors. And the safety and familiarity of home birth has been deferred to a hospital setting by default. Sometimes in a medical setting, birth can feels like a foreign, frightening concept; often interfered with, induced or unnecessarily traumatised by arbitrary standards and timings. Something birth was never meant to be. We are not here to hold fear around birth, we are here to reclaim this rite of passage; holding it with love, knowledge and deep understanding. Doulas support women and families while honouring their background, birth wishes and medical needs. https://www.sulaandmoon.com/shamanism daily 0.75 2023-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/1592495651360-KJMFW9G81C395VE1R3TI/smudging-1024x1024.jpg Shamanism https://www.sulaandmoon.com/thank-you-page daily 0.75 2026-01-07 https://www.sulaandmoon.com/birth daily 0.75 2025-10-27 https://www.sulaandmoon.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/b5b7d50f-449e-416a-90d4-c59cbeab50ee/Ella+Pic.jpg https://www.sulaandmoon.com/seasonalworkshops daily 0.75 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/259cdb3e-14d3-4ebd-a4a3-69c51c2e985b/Screenshot+2025-10-27+at+13.55.29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/eb877041-1cfd-4706-859c-e7927ef24b92/Screenshot+2025-10-27+at+13.53.55.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/d146d2eb-657e-4740-a283-10cc1f9eb089/Screenshot+2025-09-22+at+15.01.52.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/1765288815766-AFOMLMQD0EFSO82T1240/unsplash-image-ur2zmbseUIA.jpg https://www.sulaandmoon.com/endoflifecare daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/1772731331690-LWUAEXVJ2D6AIQ5LIG38/unsplash-image-Ffe6ihwYzvA.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/1772729947607-D4BZTEESEFSDKP5EGNSW/unsplash-image-jpvytpATuDE.jpg https://www.sulaandmoon.com/client-testimonials daily 0.75 2026-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225337376-36JM1AX4C0NIC32WNXXU/Rectangle+26.jpg Client Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225123989-3AGGEWNOKB8XK6YRH6A9/Rectangle+25.jpg Client Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225350677-B3YBA0I530Q8W9125BX3/Rectangle+27.jpg Client Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/1763725516559-8KGPNNYG00K3ZHHL8OO0/unsplash-image-IF9TK5Uy-KI.jpg Client Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/1763726103526-7XR2STAG2OWZO19HFZ5F/unsplash-image-n1B6ftPB5Eg.jpg Client Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda502adbe46d28eb13f200/1763725395447-1PHJB7BPP9ZCJ78DORTY/unsplash-image-DItYlc26zVI.jpg Client Testimonials
