nice to meet you! I'm

Skyla

I’m a postpartum doula, child minder and holistic family supporter. 

I am always honoured to be invited into a family’s inner space to provide support and care during the first steps of a family’s journey.

about me

Hey family!

I trained as a doula in 2023 in Finland but in reality my journey into serving families started many years before as a childminder when I was 15. 

I have had the privilege and been trusted to care for newborn babies and older children.

I love to witness the inquisitiveity and joy of discovery that young children have and strive to provide a stimulating, safe and secure environment for them to continue their discovery of the world.

I am currently offering postpartum services to new families during the immediate postpartum period with extended support for childminding after the 6 weeks period.

My goal is to lighten the burden that newly formed families feel when having a baby. This is a fragile time where we need the village to support us and I like to think of myself as part of your village, offering you the support your family would want to give you if they could.

My passion for child rearing has lead me to research many different parenting styles and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and understanding of aware and gentle parenting methods. 

I have also done several trainings with Angelina Martinez Miranda when she visited Finland and learnt about the holistic approach to birth and postpartum care. I incorporate my learnings into my work whenever possible.

Holistic

I provide a holistic approach to caring for newly formed families. I bring my passion for gentle parenting and individual approach to your family unit so that you can find your confidence and parenting style.

Presence

I remain present to each individual child and family that I work with. I understand that no two families or individuals are the same so I approach each situation mindfully aware of what is needed.

Support

I support each member of the family individually and as a unit. I offer a listening ear, a supportive shoulder and caring hands to hold your family.
