My Story

 Hello and welcome

My name is Marika, and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula based in Co. Wexford, Ireland. I am enjoying quite country life with my husband John, children Markuss and Amber, and lovely dog Bobby, and cat Lilly.

I did my training with maternal care expert Dr.Krysia Lynch. I gained so much knowledge and understanding about birth during the training. I loved that Krysia so skillfully weaved in teachings from different aspects. Always keeping in mind, mind-body-soul connection. Becoming a doula was also my own personal healing journey, which made me more aware of what really happened during my own two births. I am blessed with two beautiful children, and they are my life’s biggest teachers which I am so grateful for.

After many years looking to find my path, everything has brought me to this moment and I am ready to serve women during their birth journeys, supporting them and their families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. I am very drawn to postpartum support as I feel sometimes the 4th trimester is overlooked, not giving enough attention and care to mum. Also, I am big advocate for preparing yourself during the pregnancy. Not just learning how to support your body and what to expect during the labour, but very importantly how to prepare yourself for new role becoming a parent. Birth as a rite of passage. 

My other passion is as I call it my red path - Menstrual Cycle awareness guide. Learning and realizing that our cycle is our self-care tool completely changed my life. For the last two years I have been working closely together with other women in the local community organizing workshops, women's circles, retreats, and different kinds of gatherings. (you can read more in my blog).

Working with women is something that gives me purpose to get up in the morning. Women are thriving when they come together and feel supported and safe. We need each other for each other. There is so much unknown ahead of us, but I am learning to trust the process and surrender. I am learning to care about myself more and am really excited to work together with women for women. 

Warm wishes
