Samira

I’m Samira, a birth and postpartum doula, yoga teacher and Ayurveda specialist in women’s health. I’m also a mother to a vibrant toddler.

Supporting health and wellbeing has always been a central part of my life. Before becoming a doula, I spent more than 12 years working in drugstores and pharmacies, where I gained extensive knowledge of medicines, supplements, herbal remedies, and natural approaches to health.

My own journey into motherhood, including a miscarriage in 2023, shaped the work I do today. It inspired me to deepen my understanding of women’s health and holistic support during conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Since then, I have completed yoga teacher trainings with specialisations in Fertility, Pregnancy and Postpartum Yoga, trained as a holistic birth doula and qualified as an Ayurveda Postpartum Doula. These studies have allowed me to combine evidence-based knowledge with traditional wisdom and compassionate, individualised care.

Today, I am part of The Nest Doulas, supporting families through conception, pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. My approach is warm, non-judgemental and holistic, helping families feel informed, supported, and confident as they navigate the transition into parenthood.

Alongside my doula work, I teach Mum & Baby Yoga in Helsinki and facilitate a 6-week Postpartum Recovery Course four times per year. Through movement, education and community, I create nurturing spaces where mothers can recover, reconnect with their bodies, and find support during the postpartum period.
