About me
This is my promise:
No woman will ever feel lonely in their journey to parenthood.
My name is Alexandra and I am a Parent-Infant professional with training in the psychology of parent-infant relationships through the discipline of psychoanalytic infant observation and child development.
I am a Birth and Postnatal Doula, trained with Nurturing Birth, a Brazelton UK registered Newborn Behaviour Observations practitioner and a Developmental Baby Massage instructor.
I am a cesarean mother to my first boy and a VBAC warrior during covid times to my second.
I am the founder of The Holding Mother, where I offer special sessions and holistic support with a therapeutic approach to families so they feel informed, emotionally held, and empowered all the way from pregnancy to birth and the early months of a new life with a baby.
My job is to help you become confident in your journey to motherhood. I will give you tools and resources to help you advocate for the birth you want and support your choices in your preparation to becoming a mother.
