ABOUT ME
My name is Maria Teresa and I live in Stockholm. For about 15 years I've ben working with bodies in different ways, both as a professional dancer and Pilates trainer.
My knowledge about body, movement and different kinds of hands-on bodywork, together with a curiosity for women's rights and health have naturally made me interested in birth and pregnancy. That's why I've completed a doula education via Trygg Förlossning. It is important for me to keep further educating myself and to regularly deepen my knowledge as a doula, and that's why I take part in courses and lectures when I can.
I offer personalized, continuous support before, during and after childbirth - because your birth is unique, and it matters.
My dance background gives me an in-depth understanding of how movement and touch can help to handle pain and to facilitate birth physiology. It also makes it easy for me to read other bodies and their needs.
I work with tools from Birth Without Fear and Hypnobirthing, among others, and a lot with my hands and movement.
I am a warm and caring person who easily cries happy tears in beautiful moments. I believe that humour is important in life and others say I'm funny. As a doula I'm present, I listen carefully and I stand strong beside my clients.
I strive towards helping the birth-giver so that they can find resources in their own body and have a positive empowering birth experience.
Preparation can't guarantee outcomes, but it creates good conditions.
I suggest techniques so that the birth-giver and the partner (if there is) can feel like a team handling the birth together.
