Mina - doula, photographer and lactation consultant. I offer compassionate and creative support through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. Based in Portugal.

I offer emotional and practical support mixed with evidence based information and experiences from the field. I stand by your side in the moments of greatest vulnerability and power, witnessing your transformation.

“Doula: a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.”

Doula is there for the whole family on their journey of having a baby, offering emotional support and evidence based knowledge.

As your doula, I will help you navigate the physical and emotional challenges, creating space for you to sit comfortably with your fears, look into your desires and abandon the old patterns that might hold you back from getting the birth experience you hope for.

You chose a doula with your heart. Contact me for a free discovery call to see if we are a good match.

If you have already booked me as your doula, you can add full birth photography to your care package. I document your story from active labor until a few hours postpartum, seamlessly blending photography with the continuous support you already rely on.

Authentic, documentary-style photography capturing new family moments and falling in love with your baby.

I love maternity photography. I find pregnant women sensual, radiating divine beauty while just existing. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe and relaxed to express yourself and to show you how beautiful your changing body truly is. Each session is unique, tailored to reflect your personal story and journey. Depending on the concept, shoots can take place in nature, urban environments or your home.

A Mother’s Blessing is an intimate gathering of close friends and family held before the baby arrives. It is a celebration of the passage from maiden to mother, the transformation in woman’s life. Unlike a traditional baby shower, which often focuses on material gifts for the baby, a Mother Blessing centers entirely on honoring and nurturing the mama-to-be.

Structured like a women’s circle, this celebration is filled with meaningful connection and supportive rituals. Guests might craft a custom bead necklace where every bead holds a wish for labor, tie red threads around wrists as a symbol of unity until birth, or pamper the mother with belly painting and massages. Complete with flowers, nurturing food, and joyful conversation, it is a sacred space to surround the mother with love and support.
