Evidence-based and holistic coaching for families navigating birth in a new country.

Evita-30.jpg

Hi there! My name is Evita, and I am a doula, perinatal coach, birth rights advocate, and mother. I believe in providing holistic, evidence-based, and compassionate care to families throughout their entire journey to parenthood. With my experience in sociology and anthropology, as well as my education in coaching and yoga, I view childbirth and early parenting from multiple angles. Whether you are pregnant, giving birth, experiencing postpartum, or navigating the joys and challenges of early parenthood, I am here to support you.

Having given birth as an expat in Amsterdam, I appreciate the power of community and connection during the profound moment of birth. As someone who has also worked extensively with expat families in Greece, Netherlands, Denmark, France, and Poland and have created a large community of foreign families giving birth in Greece, I am well-versed in the unique needs of those giving birth abroad. I have gained expertise in supporting families through the challenges and uncertainties of giving birth in a foreign country. With a deep understanding of the cultural and practical differences that arise in this context, I provide comprehensive support that is tailored to each family's specific needs. Whether you are navigating the healthcare system in a foreign language, adapting to unfamiliar customs, or simply feeling isolated, I am here to provide you with the expert doula care and guidance you need.

I hold space for all the needs, fears, and wishes of expectant families, free of judgement, and regardless of my own views.

As a passionate advocate for birthing rights, the intersection of feminism and childbirth, and understanding obstetric violence as a form of gender-based violence, I frequently take part in related campaigns and communities.

Currently, I am based in Athens with my partner and daughters, Danai and Philippa, while often traveling to support clients in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and other locations. I am fluent in Greek and English, and I also have some knowledge of basic Dutch.

Let's meet for a cup of tea and see if we're a good fit to work together. Building trust, openness, and understanding is foundational to the doula-family relationship. During our meeting, I'll share more about my work, mission, and how I can support you. You can ask questions, express concerns, and receive professional advice and recommendations for other birth journey support, such as childbirth education programs and lactation consultants.

Building a strong connection with the people who enter your life during this profound moment is crucial. Contact me to schedule a complimentary meeting, no matter where you are in your pregnancy. I am here for you!

Still wondering?

A Doula can help you have a positive birth experience that is focused on how you feel, not just the way you gave birth.

As your loyal cheerleader and advocate, a Doula empowers you to trust your instincts and make informed decisions during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

These defining stages impact parenthood, childhood, and attachment, making holistic care and support crucial. Contact me to learn how a Doula can help you.

Testimonials

  • “I'm very happy I met Evita before I gave birth to my first child. I actually wish I had met her earlier since the beginning of my pregnancy. All the while she was next to me I appreciated how calm she is and the confidence she inspires. Her help during delivery, whether that meant a calm touch to relax you, encouraging words or literally supporting your body through exercises during the contractions. Thank you for everything, Evita!”

  • “Evita was my Doula and I cant recommend her enough!! She helped me prepare for my birth and powered through my 25h birth journey with me. We've also had a great postpartum visit and she was always there to listen, provide useful information and advice or just an ear to listen. She also helped and guided my partner through this whole process. Her service could also be a great gift to someone special, I definitely would have loved it! Long story short: Evita is the best!”

  • "Evita is a highly compassionate & empathetic human being. Her passion in wanting to help new parents to settle into a new role and to support their needs during pregnancy, labor & birth is very evident. I am writing this review on Evita as a fellow birth professional. I have had several of my clients work with Evita and they only have positive things to say about her work. If you are looking for someone to help and support your wishes during pregnancy and presence during birth then Evita is your person. I highly recommend her.

  • Evita is a highly knowledgeable and compassionate professional, who becomes quickly aware of a woman's needs and responds promptly to them in a compassionate and spot on way. Supporting you to feel safe, open, comfortable and well prepared mentally and physically with the journey of labor and becoming a mom, Evita is at the same time a reliable person you can count on as she is available at any time. I would highly recommend her to every woman. She was so important for both me and my husband. Words are not enough to thank you Evita.
