As a doula, I meet with couples post-birth to debrief, helping them process their experiences and emotions. These sessions often reveal differing recollections and deep emotions, yet they foster understanding and celebrate resilience. As a perinatal counselor, I offer a safe space for honest discussion, explaining complex medical decisions and validating all reactions. This support helps couples reclaim control and enhances communication, ensuring emotional well-being and recovery.

Giving birth in Spain as an expat or immigrant can be challenging, especially with language barriers, cultural differences, and limited awareness of doula support.
