Belén Farias
Doula
​
Hi! My name is Belén, and I am a doula, a babywearing consultant, a researcher and a dancer. I am the mom of two boys, whose very different births changed my life completely. After a highly medicalized first birth in Buenos Aires in 2018, I had an amazing physiological birth without interventions in Luxembourg in 2021. This is what triggered my desire to help other women have an enjoyable and empowering birth experience.
All these different aspects of myself, and many others, are like threads that I have been weaving to offer support for families. My wish is to accompany you in your parenthood journey with a loving, empathetic and flexible but, over all, judgment-free and evidence-based approach.
I speak fluent English, French and Spanish, and I am learning Luxembourgish. You can find out more about me at www.rebozo.lu

We as doulas support families not with what we know or what we have, but with who we are. Nevertheless, I love to study and learn, and I always try to follow my curiosity. So I am going to share with you here some of my past experience as well as some of the courses and trainings I have done over the years.
