I'm Diana — an expert in pregnancy, postpartum & baby nutrition, holistic health consultant for mothers and children, holistic doula, health freedom educator, somatic inquiry counselor, and overall out-of-the-box thinker.

"After over a year of trying to conceive, I was feeling so hopeless. I really didn't want to go down the IVF road, but it just wasn't happening for us. I had no idea what I was eating (or not eating!) was affecting my chances of getting pregnant. Diana made it all feel so simple. She gave me small, practical changes that totally clicked for me. And she convince my husband to tag along too, which was major. Three months later, we found out I was pregnant! I still can’t believe how quickly it happened."
Website
"I met Diana at the start of my pregnancy, she saved me from the most horrendous nausea! I thought I was eating "healthy", but I wasn’t actually feeling healthy. I completely changed the way I look at food, and I started feeling so much better. She told me how to eat for each trimester, and it made such a difference compared to my first pregnancy. I had way more energy and just felt so much better overall."
Website
"Postpartum hit me hard, I felt so depleted, drained, exhausted. And honestly, kind of lost. Diana’s energy was a breath of fresh air. We talked about everything, even some very personal things, and it was so supportive. She showed me how to use food and other things to actually feel better. The bone broth alone was a game-changer! I feel stronger now than I did before I got pregnant."
Website
"Breastfeeding was so rough for me at first. I wasn’t making enough milk, and I was so stressed about it. Diana helped me figure out what to eat to boost my supply, and within a couple of weeks, I saw such a huge difference. Not just in my milk, but in how I felt! I honestly had no idea food could make such a big impact."
Website
"I heard pretty concerning things about hospitals in Portugal and I was terrified of going there. My first birth back home was a really great experience and I wanted the same for this baby. (...) Then I found Diana. She introduced me to the world of home birth in Portugal and walked me through all the steps. It was so helpful. I feel really prepared."
Website
"I was kind of overwhelmed thinking of starting solid food with my baby, because I didn’t know what to start with or how to prepare them or give them. I was so scared my son would get an allergic reaction or choke. But Diana broke it all down in such a simple way and gave me lots of meal ideas. I feel so less stressed now, and my son has reacted well to everything I gave him so far."
Website
"I tried all these different creams for her eczema, but nothing was really working. I didn’t even realize that diet could have something to do with it. Diana helped us figure out which foods were triggering it and which ones could actually help heal her skin. She also gave us a bunch of natural strategies to try, and wow, what a difference. Within a few weeks, my daughter's skin was so much better, and now it’s completely cleared up."
Website
"After giving birth and breastfeeding for 20 months, my body told me it was time for a change. My period hadn’t returned, I was struggling with severe sleep issues, and my libido was at an all-time low. Diana and her incredible expertise helped me regain balance. Through her nutritional and herbal guidance, my period returned within just a few weeks, and her emotional support made me feel truly heard and understood."
Website
"Being pregnant in Portugal was quite overwhelming at first. I felt like I was just getting shuffled through the hospitals and no one was actually looking at me, seeing me as an individual. This didn't feel right at all. I wanted another way, but didn’t know where to start. Diana helped me really listen to my body and trust my instincts instead of just saying yes to everything. She explained what was optional, how to push back on what didn’t feel right, and helped me find the kind of support that worked for me."
I’m a mother, teacher, doula, and holistic health practitioner offering a full-spectrum, integrative approach to fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood.
My work bridges science/medical literacy with embodied wisdom, guiding women who want to walk a natural, sovereign path through motherhood.
As a holistic doula, I support women and families throughout pregnancy and postpartum with deeply personalized, out-of-the-box care: I combine emotional, physical, and informational support so women can move through each stage feeling informed, grounded, and connected to their own authority.
Formally trained in nutrition for fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and babies, I focus on nutrient-dense foods that deeply nourish both mother and baby. I also draw on my training in herbal medicine, homeopathy, supplementation, and nature-based healing to offer practical, evidence-informed guidance that supports the body’s natural intelligence.
I help women understand their bodies’ signals, exploring how emotional and energetic patterns often express through physical symptoms, so that healing can unfold at the root, not just the surface.
My approach to pregnancy and birth is grounded in sovereignty. I support women to reclaim birth as it was designed to be: instinctive, physiological, and uninterrupted, guiding them in making informed choices, trusting their intuition, and honoring the natural flow of their body and baby.
My background in yoga, mindfulness, and nature-based shamanic practices allows me to tend not only to the body, but also to the emotional and spiritual dimensions of motherhood.
This work is not theoretical for me. It’s lived. My pregnancies, home births, and the conscious way I mother my children form the foundation of everything I teach.
I bring together research, training, and lived experience to support women in embodying their own power — in birth, in health, and in motherhood.
Yes, I am a doula supporting women and families through pregnancy and postpartum.
My work as a doula is full-spectrum and out-of-the-box, blending extensive, multidisciplinary training with a deeply holistic approach.
Alongside my doula training, I have formal education in nutrition and supplementation for fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and babies, as well as in natural remedies (herbal medicine, homeopathy, and flower essences).
In addition to the physical and practical aspects of care, I offer emotional and mental support for women and couples, helping them navigate the psychological, relational, and identity shifts that unfold through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. My work in this area is similar to that of a therapist, as I am a mental health coach specializing in pregnancy and postpartum, guiding women and their partners through emotional regulation, communication, and the deep inner work that this season invites.
I also offer holistic management of common health challenges that can arise during pregnancy and in early childhood (from gestational diabetes, to baby eczema or anemia, constipation).
A key part of my work is also education around medical freedom, health sovereignty, and informed vaccine choice, supporting families to make decisions that feel aligned and empowered.
At this time, I do not attend births in person, as I have a small child and am currently pregnant myself — though I continue to support families before and after birth with the same depth, presence, and continuity of care.
Both! Most of my sessions are online, but I also do home visits within the Lisbon district for mothers who prefer to meet in-person.
Yes, I do offer home visits within the Lisbon district. For visits outside of the Mafra council, there will be additional charges for fuel and tolls.
Absolutely! Partners are always welcome (and encouraged!) to join the sessions.
If you’ve booked a package, I recommend having at least one session together or having your partner attend one on their own.
Having your partner involved can create a deeper connection and shared understanding throughout this journey.
Of course! Babies are always welcome, whether we’re meeting online, in my office in Ericeira or at your home.
I’m happy to accommodate the baby’s needs, including breaks for feeding, diaper changes, or soothing.
While I don’t currently offer a free discovery call, I’m happy to exchange a couple of voice memos with you to get to know each other.
No, I work with both women and their partners. Partners can attend sessions with you or book their own individual sessions. Fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum journeys are deeply interconnected, and I’m here to support both of you.
Sessions typically last around 60 minutes.
I do offer longer sessions (2 hours and 3 hours) for families needing deeper, hands-on guidance: learning to cook nourishing meals for a baby starting solids, receiving holistic newborn care, or supporting a new mother who needs breastfeeding guidance, emotional care, and space to be fully seen and held in her transition.
I offer individual sessions for specific topics like pregnancy nutrition, medical sovereignty during pregnancy, preparing for a positive birth experience in Portugal, home birth guidance, postpartum nutrition, breastfeeding support, introducing solids, and vaccine clarity.
For deeper, ongoing support, I work exclusively through packages — 3, 6, or 9 sessions — in areas that require continuity and a more comprehensive approach. These include:
• fertility support for natural conception
• full-spectrum doula support in pregnancy (mother, father, and baby)
• full-spectrum doula support in postpartum (mother, father, and baby)
• support with childhood health challenges, like eczema, anemia, or constipation
• complete family nutrition (for parents and children)
The short answer is yes. Yes, I do.
The longer answer is that my work focuses on creating the most optimal conditions in your physical, emotional, and mental bodies to provide the most fertile ground for natural conception. This involves targeted nutrition, strategic supplementation, herbal support, lifestyle adjustments, and more — for both you and your partner.
The ultimate goal of my work is to help you boost your fertility and conceive naturally without needing to rely on assisted reproduction methods.
Yes, absolutely! I’m here to support you in achieving your deepest wishes for your pregnancy and birth and to help you make that vision a reality.
We can work on empowering you with knowledge about standard medical interventions and protocols — what is optional, what is mandatory, what may be detrimental, and what is not. This includes the medical care you receive during your pregnancy, the procedures and interventions during labor and birth at the hospital, and the standard practices in the first hours after birth, including those done to the baby.
By equipping you with this information, I’ll help you make informed decisions and advocate for your wishes so that you can feel confident and empowered throughout your journey.
In this workshop, we dive deep into what real postpartum recovery looks like. We cover everything from the intense physical healing process after birth, to the neurological rewiring of matrescence, to the absolute necessity of deep nourishment, rest, and support.
You'll learn:
What’s actually happening in your body postpartum and why rest is non-negotiable
The foods and nutrients that rebuild, replenish, and prevent depletion
How to create a solid postpartum support system
The long-term impact of postpartum recovery on your future health
What traditional cultures got right about postpartum, and how we can bring that wisdom into our modern lives
