Doula Pineda

I am always happy to receive a review, but I am particularly pleased when it comes from the partner of a mother🧡

As a doula, I support not only the mother, but also the rest of the family.

I do not replace the partner. Instead, I make sure they receive the support they need and feel confident that they can provide the mother with the best possible support. Many studies highlight the benefits of having a supportive partner during labour and postpartum💪💞

The most common feedback from mums after coming to the Postnatal Circles:

'I feel lighter.'

That's your nervous system regulating, thanks to

🌻Feeling safe.
🌻Being able to vent.
🌻Pause and breathe.
🌻Feeling you belong.

Studies show that connecting with others, especially women, helps to reduce cortisol, a stress hormone. If you feel safe and can share with others, that helps you process your emotions and release tension.

This is why mums leave the group feeling lighter and more positive.

💫Upcoming Postnatal Circles💫

One space left on Monday 17 November.
Two spaces left on Monday 24 November.

Bookings are open for the discounted block of four Mondays in December. Link in bio💕

You know that lovely feeling when you meet someone and connect beautifully? That happened to me when I met Katy, the amazing soul behind Mothers Matter🧡

If you’re not familiar with this charity, Mothers Matter focuses on the wellbeing of mothers, from pregnancy to beyond. Their mission is to create a community and offer resources to mothers, especially those experiencing maternal mental health issues.

The number of perinatal mood disorders (that's what you call depression, anxiety, etc. that can occur during the pregnancy or postpartum period) is still far too high.

This is why Katy’s work and her team are so valuable.😍✨️

I am so happy to have met her and to have planted the seeds for a future partnership. Katy understands the value of doulas in supporting and accompanying families. With her help, we can reach more people, make support much more affordable, and therefore have a more positive impact on more families.

Collaboration always leads to abundance!💪🧡🌟

Stay tuned! Mothers Matter is coming to Cardiff soon!

What a wonderful circle we had today✨️💗

If I had to highlight one moment, it would be when one mother shared how this second postpartum experience has given her a greater understanding of the postpartum period and greater confidence in her own abilities, her intuition, and her baby. ‘I have moments of worry and doubt, but not fear,’ she told us.

These moments of discovery that lead other mothers to relate to each other's experiences and share their stories are priceless😍

The postpartum period is challenging, but also transformative, and much easier with the support of other mothers.

🌻 There is a new postpartum library at the yurt after the Postnatal Circles. Take home a book that resonates with you and return it after a few weeks.

❗️I am taking bookings for the November sessions. Four Monday mornings. DM me to book your space!

Tomorrow, I am offering a Closing the Bones ceremony to a mother who I had the privilege of supporting during her pregnancy and birth.

It is the perfect way for her to acknowledge and celebrate the amazing job she did in growing and birthing her beautiful baby.
It also gives her the opportunity to pause and find closure emotionally, physically and mentally as she moves on to the next phase✨️

It is also an opportunity for me to nurture her and bring closure to our beautiful relationship as mother and birth doula💞

✨️✨️✨️

In my blog in www.doulapineda.com there is a post where I explain about this nurturing and special ritual.

🌟To all expectant mums!

New Pregnancy Circles starting on 30 October!

Join us to connect and learn together in the beautiful .in.the.city

️
This is a different way to prepare for birth and the postpartum period. A group of pregnant women meet every Thursday for six weeks.
The group provides a space to connect, share, access reliable information, and promote relaxation and wellbeing.

🧡 It is a safe space to reflect on your journey to motherhood.

Kayleigh, a hypnobirthing teacher, and Pineda, a birth and postnatal doula, have worked together to design this course to help women 'build their village' during pregnancy.

We offer you evidence-based information and signpost you to resources where you can find out more and learn about topics that interest you. We have many local and global resources to share!

This course is about connection: with ourselves and with others. Women flourish and grow in healthy and nurturing relationships.

There will be opportunities to engage in interactive activities to learn about birth and the postnatal period and how to prepare.

Every session will end with a guided meditation.

💗This small group is designed to provide mutual support and foster intimacy. Book your place early!

We can’t wait to meet you!

The first year of your baby's life is an intense, vulnerable and magical time for a woman.

However, we don't fully understand this period. We often forget that it's not just the babies who need attention and care — their mums do too.

My group for mums and babies focuses on both babies and mums.

Mums have the opportunity to meet other mums in a relaxing environment once per week. You can relax, have honest conversations and learn together on this amazing journey of motherhood.

Mothers encouraging and supporting each other!

I am Pineda, a birth and postnatal doula, passionate creating supportive groups for new mothers🧡

The amazing reviews from former participants speak for themselves.

Every Monday morning at YURT in the City

Before the summer, I had the privilege of supporting a family during pregnancy and birth. My client's mother, who was born in Pakistan, made a large jar of panjeeri, a traditional superfood, to support her daughter during the postpartum period😍 She also gave me some to try🥰

Panjeeri contains essential and rich nutrients and vitamins, and is particularly recommended for postpartum.

Learning about these traditions helps us realise that, in all cultures around the world and throughout history, there are special foods for the postpartum period.

Different foods but all have in common how to strengthen and speed up recovery after going through pregnancy and birth, and supporting breastfeeding💪

The needs of a mother in the postpartum period are the same everywhere.

❗️A reminder what a mother in the postpartum period needs. Warm and nutrient-rich foods.

Modern families have changed a lot over the last few generations.

Many mothers live far from their relatives, while others live closer but find that they are busy with their own schedules.

Unfortunately, the result is that many mums end up spending long hours alone with a newborn.

This is not at all normal. New mothers used to be surrounded by family, friends and community.

It was never meant to be done alone.

So, if you feel you are failing or not good enough, or if you compare yourself to other mums who seem to cope much better than you do, don't.

The postpartum period without support is really, but really hard.

It's not you who is failing; it's society.

What an amazing job you are doing! There is no better mum for your baby than you🧡🧡
