“As pregnant women we always prepare for birth but totally forget about the time after. I‘m super happy to had have Igancia by my side as my postpartum doula. She has a profound knowledge about so many beautiful rituals and fills them all with love and healing energy. It helped my a lot to integrate my birthstory and to transform to a mother on the emotional and spiritual level. I can’t recommend her and her work enough”.

“Ignacia was my yin and my midwife was my yang. That’s what the universe sent my way in order to go through this rite of passage.
Having a doula was not something I was truly sure about, I just didn’t know if I was gonna need one, turns out it was the most meaningful decision I took. I could write so much about it but in order to be of service here, I can only say that in my experience with Ignacia, we got to build a very feminine relationship, feminine meaning the total opposite of doctor/patient or midwife/client. Your relationship with your doula is an emotional/spiritual one, she will guide your heart through motherhood and give you tailor made support. She always offered exactly what I needed in each moment, and on the day my baby was born, she was the only one I accepted near me. I felt safe with her, and safety is the one thing you want to provide yourself with on the day your baby is born, I felt like Ignacia knew me so well that she was gonna make sure all my wishes were honoured. Simultaneously, my midwife, being an independent one and exclusively homebirth midwife was also there to guard my wishes, provide safety and respect this sacred space. Once I gave birth the most beautiful imaginable way, Ignacia was there with me every step of the 4th trimester, guiding me, giving me bodywork, listening, guiding me on meditations, helping me with integration, preparing placenta medicine, holding space in moments of tears and release, supporting me with adjusting to this strong transformative rite of passage, and finally, giving me a beautiful closing ceremony, I truly feel supported and initiated into motherhood in a way that I feel so privileged.
This way of transforming from maiden to mother makes me feel like it’s the closest to what we have originally done as spices throughout thousands of years of living in community, having a doula is like having that grandmother that was there making you that infusion, cooking that special soup, giving you that particular massage, sharing her wisdom and telling you the stories of her grandmother. that is the quality of having a doula in the modern world, it’s a gift to yourself and your baby”.

“You made me feel very calm from the moment we met. And about the birth support, I felt very calm at all times in an atmosphere of tranquility and confidence. I am very happy to have chosen you to accompany us in such an important moment.”
Nerina Santilli
“Ignacia was the third doula I interviewed. With her I immediately felt different. There was this sense of authenticity, of trust that I felt towards her very quickly after we started to get to know each other. We hired Ignacia as a birth and postpartum doula for spiritual guidance throughout this journey into parenthood and this is what we really got.
Ignacia is a very punctual, reliable person, full of wisdom and knowledge who is listening with her whole heart. Her sessions during our pregnancy where so valuable for me as a mama to be but likewise to us as a couple. When the birth started she was there 100 procent and supported me with the right words, rebozo treatments, massage as well as simply holding space and giving my partner a and me a lot of trust. After our baby was born she supported all of us: the midwife with organizing things. my older daughter with some funny games, me with love and a placenta smoothie as well as my husband with preparing some breakfast.
During my postpartum time Ignacia came once a week. Every session she helped me with different tools to enter more and more into my new role. We finished this time with a beautiful robozo
Closing treatment. Furthermore Ignacia took care of my placenta and made different medicine out of it that the whole family is still using very gratefully.
We are beyond grateful that Ignacia supporter us during our journey into parenthood. Muchas gracias”.

“Ignacia's sensitive, gentle and benevolent nature allowed me to open up and trustingly let go. The resulting relationship created a space in which I felt safe and protected, understood and carried. Ignacia is a spiritual companion, sister, mother, old wise woman, good witch and faithful friend. The experience of these facets of womanhood touched and fulfilled me. The energy of being a woman is powerful and healing”.
Magdalena Hreczynska
“I was lucky to be accompanied by Ignacia in the postpartum and pregnancy. From the first moment I felt comfortable and in good hands and knew that I had a good companion at my side. Due to Ignacia's sensitive and cheerful nature, I was always in good spirits after our meetings. The meetings with Ignacia also helped my partner a lot, because he understood more than in any birth preparation course through her, how he can give me strength during birth and postpartum. Especially in the postpartum period, I looked forward to the meetings with Ignacia. I was able to relax, calm down and find myself in my new role as a mother through her support. Even though the process of being a mother has only just begun, I was able to draw strength and will always have good memories of this pregnancy”.

“Ignacia has been a loving guide along our journey as new parents. As expats having our first child in Berlin, we valued her support and advise for birth preparation and postpartum care. She made us feel we were not alone and empowered us to trust ourselves and our baby”.
Justine O Nyme
“With her knowledge of traditional rituals, Ignacia accompanied and supported me during my postpartum period. Especially her closing-the-bones-ceremony for me had such a great impact on me: With her guidance, I was able to relive the journey of becoming a mother which touched me deeply.
Plus, I am grateful to have found Ignacia because it was her who taught me how precious my placenta is. She put so much warmth and passion in the different preparation techniques: Among others, she prepared great placenta capsules for me that really restored my energy after giving birth. Thank you, Ignacia, for all your help and support!”.
