English-speaking doula in ZürichGrounded support
for your empowering journey from pregnancy to parenthood.
Doula support in Zürich for you and your partner, in English, German or Spanish.
Getting ready, together
Three prenatal sessions shaped around you: how birth unfolds, how your partner can support you, and a plan for the weeks after.
Riding the waves
Birth comes in waves. From week 38 I’m on call around the clock, and once labor starts I stay with you, helping you ride each one and supporting you physically and emotionally.
The climb
The first weeks at home are a climb into your new life, one step at a time. I visit to help with the practical things and to talk through your birth, and you can message me any time.
You don’t have to do this alone
Far from family, it’s easy to feel on your own. A doula is part of the village every new family deserves.

Hi, I’m Carmela.
I became a doula after my own two births changed the way I see childbirth.
Pregnancy and birth are normal and natural. They can also be really hard. I won’t sugarcoat it. I’ll help you get ready, so you can meet each phase with confidence.
I know what it’s like to start a family far from home. For expat families in Zürich, I can be a bridge: in English, German or Spanish, in person or online.
