If you can dream it you can do it

I started my studies inspired by my own nursery nurse, I loved how she created a loving, nurturing and fun space for the little ones (I used to see her regularly for my first 12 years). I hold an NVQ Level 4 in Childcare, as well as a Paediatric First Aid and DBS (Update service). I am Ofsted registered. I have more than 10 years of experience of working as a nanny and in nursery settings. My interest in a holistic education has driven me to do courses and travel to different countries to experience different ways of educating.

When friends around me started giving birth I got very interested about the beginning of life, especially for the impact I could see. I thought that support could bring a huge difference to this transition, and I started my training as a Doula. I have done trainings with Paramana Doula, Conscious birthing, Understanding newborns, and a Breastfeeding study day. I am part of the organization Doula UK. I also have understood in my own skin the difference it makes in having support in some stages in life and I enjoy offering a tailored support for families.

I am from Spain (Catalonia). As a kid I was part of the scouts&guides (mixed group) for 3 years and then I decided to continue as a co-leader of the younger groups for 3 years more. I learnt lots of things like "if you can dream it you can do it", the importance of team work, and the feeling of connection in the community, I loved it! I have beautiful memories of singing around the fire.

In my free time I enjoy being with my friends, dancing, a walk in nature (I love the coast path), swimming and surfing. I am also into crochet, knitting and baking. I also volunteer at the Share Shed, library of things which is a fab project towards a more sustainable world.
