My name is Lorenza. I am a woman, daughter, sister, and mother.
Italian in essence, I am grateful to have made my home under the Barcelona sky for more than a decade now.

I am fluent in Italian, Spanish, Catalan and English. My enthusiasm for language and communication, and my instinctive mediation skills, led me to study and work in translation for most of my life.
In my early twenties, while searching for a new me, I discovered the power and wisdom of yoga and soon found myself training to become a teacher.

Through my passion for yoga, I began to take interest in pregnancy and maternity. Without really knowing how or why, I began training as a prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher. Continuing down a path that to me felt unknown yet familiar at the same time, I decided to be—and discovered I already was—a doula.

Being pregnant with Elva felt like living a dream I didn’t recognize was my own. Becoming a mother is the most revolutionary thing I have experienced so far, and it is the key step in a journey of professional and personal growth. It was the beginning of a new me, and the only way to truly discover what books cannot teach—the power of female creativity, the infinite source of unconditional love, the unlimited capacity for transformation, and the resilience that only us women possess.

Con il cuore is much more than a personal and professional endeavour. It is the mirror that reflects my calling as I lead you on the journey towards becoming a loving mother. Love is the only means I know to use in being the best doula and yoga teacher possible. I am deeply grateful for receiving the opportunity to share what, as a person and mother, has been both a revelation and personal source of healing—all while witnessing the most significant moments in another woman’s life.

Pregnancy is just the beginning of stage that lasts for the rest of your life—motherhood. It is a transformation that begins on a physical level, although every woman experiences an infinite amount of emotions and inner changes when she discovers her body is creating a new life.

Our current fast-paced society doesn’t always allow us to stop and think about what it really means to have a child, nor prepare for their arrival. Sometimes we lack the time needed to collect even the most essential information regarding pregnancy or childbirth. We’re faced with all sorts of doubts, fears and feelings that we often don’t know whom to share with.

As a doula, I will guide you through a fully conscious pregnancy. I listen without prejudice and provide you the information you need to take your own decisions, fearlessly trusting your own feelings at all times. I can also help out with all you need to fix before your baby is born and, if you’re not already a member of my prenatal yoga classes, we can work on relaxation, breathing and posture techniques privately, so you trust in your own energy and abilities when you go into labour.

“To change the world, we must first change the way the babies are being born.” This affirmation by Michel Odent, defender of humanised birth, sums up the importance of that moment perfectly. Not only does is it the step from woman to mother, but it is also bringing another human being into the world. It is a unique moment in the lives of both, mother and child, and both deserve the same amount of respect and care the whole time.

As a doula, my mission is to support you emotionally and logistically, in collaboration with your family and medical personnel. I offer comfort techniques—massages, as well as visualisation, breathing and posture techniques—and, if needed, I can act as a mediator to help ensure
an environment of harmony and relaxation wherever you are. It’s not easy to list all the things a doula provides in childbirth. Each woman is a universe, and each birth is a different and unpredictable experience. That’s why each encounter during the pregnancy is important as it helps us get to know each other so I can become your best ally and give everything you expect of me during and after childbirth.

Each time a baby is born, a mother is born. It is a new life for both. After giving birth, something most women are not really prepared for comes: raising a child. Adapting to this new role can be extremely trying at times due to fatigue and hormonal changes. Far too often, families can’t or don’t know how to support a woman during this stage and don’t realise what she really needs having just given birth. Breastfeeding requires patience, time, privacy, and the mother’s almost full dedication to her child. However, the solitude that generally accompanies this stage is all but recommendable.

My role as a doula in this stage to make sure you feel heard and accompanied when you may possibly need it most. As a mother and trained lactation consultant, I can guide you to help you enjoy breastfeeding. Should we encounter any difficulties beyond my reach, I work with an extensive network of qualified professionals. I can also give you a hand around the house or with your baby so you can have a moment to yourself and rest. I will work to ensure the start of your life as a mother is a one-of-a-kind chance to get to know yourself, while growing and discovering the magic of having a child at the same time.
