WHO AM I ?

Barbara (she/they)

Life cycles support person

​

​

Hello to you who is at the heart of the cycle of life,

​

I am Barbara and I support and coach people from the beginning, the middle and the end

of this magnificent but very difficult gift that is life. ​
 

My experience is extensive in areas that affect the existence,

from my personal experience, to my trainings, and my professional experiences. 

Birthing

What does it mean to birth "well" or parent "successfully" ?

As a birth doula, I dare to believe that there is no one way of doing things well, but that THE only real way to experience the adventure of childbirth and parenthood is by following one's intuition, by feeling like our freedom and boundaries are respected, that we are autonomous and above all respected in our desires and wishes. I am therefore committed to providing evidence based support, while respecting one's spiritual beliefs. I am a mother, and the challenges I had to overcome inspired me to want to work alongside parents, to ensure that ALL childbearing people would have the support of someone who would not let them down and stand up for their rights until the very end. This inspired me to defend the interests of childbearing parents, advocate for them, whatever the situation in which they find themselves, and whatever their birth plan is (from natural home birth to scheduled caesarean section): I will be at their sides all the way. All of this while preserving the parents' oxytocin cocoon. I am present prenatally and postnatally, offering a complete follow-up to the whole family, with advices and help on subjects such as breast/body/chest feeding, Baby-led feeding, EC, sign language, washable diapers, sleep support, Montessori introduction etc. Moreover, as a photographer for over decade, I have had the chance to immortalize all these unforgettable moments (pregnancy, birth, fresh 48...) for those who wish to. In short, I like to be your ally for this beautifully disruptive cycle that is parenthood.

​

Living

As a life cycles coach, I specialize in active listening and the implementation of tools to help people who wish to take charge of their lives, welcome abundance and overcome hardship by gaining power. Whether it is following a breakup, a career change, the affirmation of one's gender or sexuality, the desire to have a healthier lifestyle and be more in phase with one's soul-body-spirit triade : I am present to support poeple on this path.

As a Yoga therapist, I specialize in setting up life routines adapted to everyone, which allow us to better understand the stress of everyday life and the major stages that can shake us up. I also use my experience as a Reiki Master, Sound healer and Pranic healer to relieve people I support.

I also offer people who wish to develop their energy practice, training in Reiki Levels 1-2-Master, Sound Healing Levels 1-2-3, and Pranic healing Levels 1-2-3. These trainings allow for self-care and care for others.

Finally, I offer my celebrant & planner services for your milestones (wedding, graduation, birthing rituals, etc.). As a performing artist for nearly 20 years, I have always been passionate about rallying people from different walks of life around a common event, finding ways to touch them, inspire them, and make these celebrations into real life anthems.

​

Passing

Passing, transitionning... Because to die is to change, to evolve, to transform, to travel, to continue elsewhere, something else. As a Thana doula, I help people at the end of life and those around them to better understand death, know their rights and options, in the face of end-of-life care and funerals. I help organize last moments, vigils, funerals and other in memorium projects. I offer support following the departure of a loved one, and also accompany parents in perinatal loss. As a photographer, I also offer to document the end of life for therapeutic purposes. And as an audio-visual artist, I propose legacy projects such as videos in memory of loved ones. I also organize "living funerals" a new approach that allows the dying person to organize and participate in a celebration of their life, and to witness all the love that is brought to them during their lifetime. ​

Message of interest

It is important for me to stress that I am aware of my privilege as a cis white woman. I am queer but currently in a relationship with a white cis man, so I experience much less day-to-day discrimination. I am absolutely aware of the harsh reality that non-cis, non-white, non-heterosexual people experience. And I am very emphatic in the face of these difficulties, which is why it is important for me to respect the integrity of ALL.
