Support for your unique journey through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.

Pineda was our doula and I also attended her pregnancy and post natal circles. This combo meant that I had a full package of support, connection and information. I got to know Pineda well and felt so comfortable with her that when it came to birth my partner was able to step away and tend to our toddler and I still felt I had the support I needed. Pineda helped me to stay calm and believe in myself and supported me to have the HBAC (home birth after Caesarian) of my dreams! She balances scientific information and emotional support really really well.

Pineda is excellent at what she does. Her calm and reassuring presence was a huge help for us during a challenging time after our daughter was born. If you need support with your newborn, then I would highly recommend her services. Thank you Pineda!

I am so glad we worked with Pineda during my pregnancy and the birth of our baby. Pineda is very caring, knowledge and supportive doula and I would really recommend her services to parents-to-be.

In preparation for the arrival of our little boy Pineda met with us for a series of appointments to put together a realistic and empowering birth plan and prepare for the challenge of the post-partum period. These appointments meant me and my partner arrived in parenthood practically and emotionally prepared to face its challenges, and cherish the highs. Pineda accompanied us during our baby’s birth and was invaluable; looking after me and my partner throughout our time in the hospital, and collaborating with us to cope with the uncertainties of birth. Working with Pineda has been a great start to parenthood and we’ll always remember the compassionate care she provided.

Reflecting upon our first pregnancy and labour, we honestly couldn’t have done it without Pineda as our doula, our guide, our support and our now friend ❤️

Pineda is well versed in all things pregnancy and baby and went out of her way to check in with us (even when she was on holiday!), and sourced many evidence-based resources in order for us to make informed decisions especially when I was in doubt. This genuinely left me feeling confident and prepared for what was to come.

Putting Pineda’s expertise as a doula to one side,she is an absolute gem of a human being – her character and presence is warm, comforting and oh so reassuring and is exactly what you need and want during the most testing time of your life! One heart-warming moment was when Pineda informed me she had signed up to a course so to understand how to support Muslim families – a testament to her intentions of wanting the best for her clients.

We ended up claiming top spot for the longest labour for Pineda, and yet throughout she just kept going! From popping around when I was unsure if I was in labour, allowing me to squeeze her hand to death, reminding me to drink and eat, pushing me to try new biomechanic positions, advocating my rights to make decisions and always returning to the birth plans we had made together. I genuinely felt like I had an older sister being my cheerleader and never giving up on me, my ability and my choice. She also understood the importance of supporting my husband throughout so he could be there for me too which I was so grateful for!

Don’t hesitate in booking Pineda as your doula – honestly the best decision you’d make during your pregnancy.

I was very lucky to find postnatal circles for mums & babies during my mat leave. Pineda creates a very safe, relaxed and extremely positive atmosphere in the group. My baby and I attended circles for six months, and this has been a truly transformative experience! We met so many lovely people and felt very supported all the way through. I’m convinced now that every new mum needs to have this kind of safe place and like-minded people around them.

I highly recommend Pineda’s classes & her services as a doula – she is absolutely incredible!

I can’t recommend Pineda enough, she was such a supportive and loving presence in the early days postpartum when health challenges meant I needed extra support at home. I could completely trust her to look after my 2 week old while I rested which was invaluable. She was also a wonderful source of support on breastfeeding and just cultivated such a calm atmosphere, it really helped the oxytocin flow.

If you find yourself needing support postnatally or at any time really I would so recommend welcoming her into your home, she has become a treasured member of our extended family 💕 I also recommend her postnatal circles too when you start getting out and about, they are such a wonderful community to be part of. Thank you Pineda!

I contacted Pineda because I was feeling anxious about repeating my first birth experience and knew that having her physical and emotional support before, during and after the birth would make a big difference, and it really did! Pineda really helped me with some tough decisions during the pregnancy and I’m so glad I chose a home birth with her support. Pineda was a voice of strength, kindness and intuition throughout my pregnancy which massively changed how I felt about giving birth.

I am so glad that she was there with me alongside my husband for the birth, i felt so supported by her, I really can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend her as a doula.

Pineda was a hugely reassuring presence during my second birth. During pregnancy, she took time to understand my preferences, providing evidence based suggestions and advice without pushing any particular agenda.

During the birth Pineda was wonderful. She was so gentle and caring, and had a very calming influence on me and on everything going on around me. She liaised confidently and proactively with the medical team on my behalf so that I could focus on the task in hand, and had great instincts about when to offer practical help and when to step back.

I have no doubt that her involvement resulted in a significantly better birth experience.

When my friend attended the first ever pregnancy circle and told me about it I knew it was for me! I had postnatal depression and anxiety after my first baby, due to COVID and having recently moved to Cardiff! I couldn’t see anyone due to COVID restrictions so I really did see the awful effects of not having a support network and a group of mum friends! I was even more determined to make this pregnancy and postpartum the best it could be.

Pineda puts a huge emphasis on the care and support of the mother which is so so important and it is something I remind myself of constantly!! The other women in the circle have already been a lovely addition to my village and as the babies arrive there is so much love for each other, I can’t wait to meet up with our babies and support each other postpartum. I would highly recommend the circle to everyone!!

I am so grateful to Pineda and the support she provided to our family. She took excellent care of both our newborn and our toddler and knew just what to do at the right moment. I would be happy to recommend her to any new parent looking for doula support!

Pineda was my birth doula for my home birth, and I am extremely grateful for Pineda’s continued support, care, and reliability in the weeks leading to and during my labour! She was so gentle and clear. I felt understood and comfortable. With Pineda, I learned to trust myself and the birth process. I really felt her presence was like a big sister who accompanied me and shared her kindness and knowledge.

I recently had the closed bones rituals massage at home with Pineda. I had my baby 2.5 years ago but due to the pandemic I couldn’t enjoy this massage before but it is never too late!. It was such an amazing experience. I cannot thank enough to Pineda, she is so gentle, calm and caring. She creates the perfect atmosphere for you to feel relax and protected. I would definitely recommend her to all my mums friends.
