About me

I'm a birth and postnatal Doula, passionate about supporting and restoring families during pregnancy and early parenthood through food. I've been living in Bristol for almost two years. I'm Portuguese but I've spent the majority of the last decade seeing the world, living abroad, traveling and meeting different people mainly through their stories and their food. I am a human rights advocate, a shameless foodie, a birth geek and a fearless believer in the power of trusting our intuition. As a Doula I provide informational, emotional and practical support to enable families to make informed and confident decisions about all stages of their parenting journey. I look after the families I work with by making sure they feel nourished, cooking snacks and meals that are nutritionally appropriate for pregnancy and postpartum. My main wish joining this platform is to be able to support and nourish more families in my new neighbourhood and community.

About my food

My food is designed and made to make you feel nourished, held and hugged. Nourishing, tasty and family-friendly meals, made with doula love and nutritionally appropriate for the postpartum period such as stews, dahls and light curries. Nutrient dense, rich in iron, rich fats and proteins - from both veggie and animal sources - and enriched with veggie or bone broth. I focus on diversity, colour and taste. From soups, snacks, easy add-ons to your other meals and even a tea blend to promote digestion and milk supply (if you wish to breastfeed). These meals can be enjoyed as well in pregnancy, providing you warming and nourishing food when you are building your strength ahead of birth and parenthood.Everything I cook has elements of my home influences and elements of my travels and my studies around foods that can soothe your body, mind and soul and I do believe you can taste the love and intention put into food. My main intention is to offer my community meals that can heal the mother/birthing person but also be enjoyed by everyone in the family, at any stage.
