My story
From a young age, she cultivated a passion for caring for others, which led her to pursue a career in nursing. However, during her college years, she faced challenges in her midwifery internships that led her to question her path.
In 2011, a dear friend invited her to a doula training course, where she rekindled her deep connection to the feminine and her innate ability to give birth. This experience had a life-changing impact on her.
In 2013, when she was pregnant with her son Miguel, she decided to have her first home birth. It was an incredibly respectful, intense, cathartic and healing experience. At that point, she could no longer see herself working as an intensive care physician. She felt a deep calling to provide the same care to other women.
She then decided to specialize in obstetrics and worked in large maternity hospitals in São Paulo. In 2018, she gave birth to her second daughter, Elena, further strengthening her passion for helping other women have respectful and empowering births.
Her true passion has always been for home births. Witnessing women’s rebirth and empowerment during home birth captivated her deeply. She knew how safe and rewarding home birth could be.
Living in Florianópolis for almost 3 years, she attends home and hospital births and feels immensely fulfilled. With each birth, she observes the incredible strength of women and the beauty of life being brought into the world in a respectful and loving way.
Her journey from intensive care nursing to becoming a midwife dedicated to home and hospital births has been deeply enriching. Every day, she continues to learn from the women she supports and witness the miracle of birth. Her passion for this work grows with each passing day.
