Post partum & lactation support in France
Personalized one-on-one doula sessions to help you embrace this new postnatal reality with ease & confidence.
In-person sessions available in the Pessac / Bordeaux area
Your baby’s born or soon will be.
It’s time to adjust to a new reality: your baby’s routine, the fatigue, your physical and hormonal recovery after childbirth.
And getting to know this new little one and his/her needs!
Then there are the appointments in the French medical system for both you and the baby, the (un)solicited advice from friends, family, or medical professionals, and the visits.
All in all, this incredibly unique and precious time in your life can also be tinged with doubts, anger, or sadness sometimes.
What if you didn’t have to face your postpartum journey alone?
to listen to me and offer help, both in very practical and more spiritual ways.
Breastfeeding, engorgement, baby’s sleep, parents’ sleep, household logistics, and more,
so many topics we were able to discuss openly, and often with humor!
A big thank you to Sophie. »
Her advice goes beyond just mother/child/parent guidance;
it’s a comprehensive support system for any topic you need to discuss.

Hi, I’m Sophie !
Mum of 3 (+1 👼) and holistic doula since 2021 in Pessac (33).
My personal healing journey began 12 years ago, following a medical diagnosis that I could not accept.
I’ve had very different birth experiences – from a traumatic first birth to a mindful home birth. I have also gone through the pain of miscarriage. As a doula, I am here by your side, offering you the tools, a safe space and unwavering support as you navigate this transformative and complex journey to motherhood.
I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on this life-changing adventure 🫶.

FAQs
Click on the question to unfold the answer
Can we do the postnatal sessions at home?
Yes! I always prioritize postnatal support for home visits. You need rest and comfort, and this also gives me the chance to help you find arrangements and an organization that work best for you at home.
For home sessions, I usually drive/ride to: Pessac, Bordeaux, Caudéran, Mérignac, Talence, Gradignan, Canéjan, Cestas, Villenave d’Ornon, Léognan, etc.
But again, feel free to book your FREE consultation call to discuss this together 😉
Do you only work in the Bordeaux area?
I’m based in Pessac, beside Bordeaux, yep. But I can also work with you online via Zoom/GoogleMeet, phone, etc. if you’re living in another area (or country!).
I’ve supported post partum mums online many times: breastfeeding, emotional support, hypnosis sessions and many other topics.
Can I pay in installments?
Most women and couples I work with pay after each session. We can certainly discuss it and make sure we find a solution that suits everyone.
Do I need to be ‘spiritual’ or practice meditation, hypnosis, etc. before working with you?
I welcome you just as you are. Without assuming anything.
We are all on a journey, different paths. You don’t « have to » do anything or be XYZ.
I just encourage you to be open and commited to yourself and your transformative experience into motherhood / parenthood.
Do you offer support beyond the immediate postpartum period?
I often tell my expat moms that they’ll never really get rid of me!
The bond we create goes beyond the doula/client relationship. I’m delighted to hear from them, and they feel comfortable reaching out to discuss any current challenges, even years later. I’m ALWAYS here 🫶
« I was supported at a time I needed it most.
It was just a simple call, but it gave me a much-needed boost
and kept me from falling into despair.
Thank you so much for your words and your time. »

Important : A doula is not a healthcare professional. I do not make any diagnoses, prescribe medication, or provide care instructions. I also do not offer the official « childbirth preparation classes » as your healthcare provider does. My support is complementary and not reimbursed by the CPAM/mutuelle. I also allow myself the right to refuse a partnership that may not serve the best interests of all parties involved.
