About 👋

Hola!!

I’m Paloma, a mum of one, born and raised in Argentina, and now living in Berlin with my family. My journey as a doula began with my own transformative experience of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—some of the most challenging and enriching stages of my life.

As a migrant in Germany, I have faced the additional complexities of gestating, giving birth, and parenting in a foreign country. Language barriers, cultural differences in medical care, and the absence of a close support network can intensify feelings of isolation and vulnerability during these crucial stages.

These experiences have led me to understand the importance of creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and respected throughout their transition into parenthood. My role is to provide personalised and empathetic support, honouring and accompanying each person on their unique journey.

I am here to walk this path with you, offering support, confidence, and trust at every step of the way.

Pre- & Postnatal Massages:

Pregnancy and postpartum are transformative experiences, bringing profound changes to the body and emotions.

As your body nurtures new life, it adapts with shifts in posture, circulation, and energy levels. After birth, the body begins a natural healing process, restoring balance and strength while adjusting to new routines.

Through gentle and intentional touch, massage helps you feel more at ease, grounded, and supported during this period of change and adjustment.

  • 60-minute massage + 15-minute conversation & rest: €70*

  • 90-minute massage + 15-minute conversation & rest: €100*

Placenta Art

  • Placenta Print (€60*)

    • El árbol de la vida. A print of the placenta on A3 watercolour paper. A meaningful way to create a unique piece of art from your baby’s placenta in its original form.

  • Amniotic Moons (€ 80*)

    • Moon shapes delicately crafted from your baby’s "first home." These are beautiful keepsakes made from the amniotic sac that surrounded and protected your baby during pregnancy. The amniotic membrane is dried, shaped, and carefully framed to keep it forever

If you'd like to preserve meaningful memories with your placenta, we can schedule a time for me to collect it within the Berlin area, or you (or someone else) can drop it off directly. If I’m also accompanying you as your birth doula, we can create a placenta print together. For the Amniotic Moons, I will take the placenta with me after your baby’s arrival.

Pre- or Postnatal ceremonies:

  • Cierre Postparto or La cerrada (2,5-3 hours): €130* (More info in my Website)

* I offer flexible payment options, including payment plans and discount for low-income families.
