I am a doula supporting women, birthing people, and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and life transitions. I offer calm, grounded care that integrates practical support with intuitive and embodied knowledge. I often return to the idea that how we do anything is how we do everything. This shapes the way I approach care, presence, and attention in all aspects of life and work. My Approach My work weaves together physiological birth knowledge, intuitive support, ceremony, and ritual. I support people in reconnecting with their own inner authority — their body, instincts, and lived wisdom — while offering steady, practical guidance through birth and transition. This approach is shaped by lived experience, formal training, and a deep respect for the intelligence of the body. Roots and Path My roots in Andean shamanic practice shape the way I hold space: simple, practical work with energy, nature, and connection. I began my career in Amsterdam, where homebirth and continuity of care are more integrated into everyday practice. I later completed my doula training with BiA Doula Training, supported by mentors who continue to influence my work. Returning to Ireland has been a grounding chapter, allowing me to deepen my relationship with place, practice, and presence. Before becoming a doula in 2023, I spent many years working with children and families in Montessori education, childcare, and private family support. These experiences shaped my understanding of care, attachment, and family life, and eventually led me toward birth work. Experience with families Over the past eight years, I have worked closely with children and families as a private nanny, childcare provider, and family support practitioner. This included running a bilingual Montessori daycare, managing a nanny agency, and working directly in home environments. Across all of these roles, I focused on building trust, supporting family rhythms, and creating environments where children and parents could feel supported, seen, and at ease. Personal Grounding Outside of my work, I am deeply connected to nature, seasonal living, music, art, and food. I spend time foraging, walking in the hills, cooking with seasonal ingredients, and exploring creativity through photography and music. These practices keep me rooted and connected to the rhythms I also bring into my work.

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 2026-05-27 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
