Step into parenthood with confidence and serenity

I particularly appreciated the practical advice and the anatomical and scientific explanations — how does the body deal with pregnancy? What is going on in there? How can I help her? Simple, natural things that the classic medical follow-up explains little or not at all. I loved the massage sessions to relax or relieve my wife’s pain, which I continue now. HypnoBirthing® also allowed us to define what we wanted for the birth — our birth project — no longer just undergoing a sometimes very directive medical process, knowing how to explain our choices, and positioning myself as a reassuring and solid help for my partner. Thanks to Pilar for her openness of heart, her reassuring presence and what she brought to our lives.

When I found out I was pregnant, it was a no-brainer for me to be supported by a yoga-doula, especially as a “solo” mom — and even more obvious when I met Pilar. I had the chance to live a serene pregnancy: thanks to her guidance I knew I was on the right track and could put aside so many parasitic questions. As the birth approached, Pilar was more and more present — reassuring me, supporting my choices, even accompanying me to stressful medical appointments. My delivery was extraordinary, respected and conscious, thanks to her dedication and a wonderful doula-and-midwife duo. During postpartum, her guidance was vital — that time when you feel so strong and at the same time so vulnerable. Pilar is a true guardian angel, an expert and dedicated doula. You can go with your eyes closed and your heart open.

This care, this meeting, this ritual came to heal the small injured parts in me — as if at each injury, these two women, like priestesses, had breathed in the light of love. It was so intense, so sweet. My body had not been treated with such respect, tenderness and love for a long time. For the space of a morning I became a baby’s body — rocked, cleaned, cuddled. At the end of the ritual I felt something sacred had been placed in me, as if my body were a temple. I was filled, recharged with love. I experienced this ritual as a real step forward in my life.
