Having a sovereign pregnancy means taking control of your pregnancy journey — listening to your body, trusting your intuition, and making confident, informed decisions.
This isn’t about following a standard template or someone else’s expectations; it’s about discovering what feels right for you and creating a path that aligns with your values, your body, and your baby.
Pregnancy and birth awaken something primal and instinctive in us as women, but it can feel challenging to access and trust that part of ourselves in today’s world.
Together, we:
Reconnect with your body’s wisdom: Learn to tune into the subtle messages your body sends about what it needs and feels right.
Clarify your wishes: Define your vision for prenatal care, birth, and your baby, and create a plan to bring those desires to life.
Align with your confidence: Strengthen your belief in your ability to follow the path that feels right for you, free from external doubts or fears.
Pregnancy and birth are often surrounded by societal expectations, fears, and unsolicited opinions.
Together, we work on:
Breaking through societal conditioning: Challenging the stigma of stepping outside the norm and standing confidently in your decisions.
Navigating family and social pressure: Building resilience and clarity when others don’t understand or support your choices.
Becoming immune to external fears: Strengthening your emotional boundaries so that others’ doubts or anxieties don’t cloud your own judgment or energy.
A key part of a sovereign pregnancy is understanding your options at every stage. I provide clear, practical information to help you navigate standard medical procedures.
During pregnancy: Routine exams, ultrasounds, blood tests, and vaccinations commonly recommended in Portugal.
Labor and childbirth: Hospital interventions such as inductions, epidurals, cesareans, and fetal monitoring.
Post-birth procedures: Standard practices for newborns and mothers in hospitals.
For each procedure, we explore: what it is and why it’s recommended; the potential risks and benefits; alternatives that may better align with your values and preferences.
Whether you’re planning a home birth or preparing for a hospital birth, I help you create a clear and actionable plan.
For home births: Preparing you emotionally, physically, and practically for the experience you envision.
For hospital births: Crafting a birth plan that communicates your preferences clearly and advocating for your rights, so you feel supported and in control even in a hospital setting.
Part of stepping into your sovereignty means understanding the legal framework that protects your choices.
I provide guidance on the national and international legislation that safeguards your right to make informed decisions about your care and your baby’s care.
This includes key articles and codes that support your autonomy, helping you feel confident and empowered when discussing your wishes with healthcare providers.
The first hours after birth are crucial for mother-baby bonding, breastfeeding success, and the long-term physical and emotional well-being of both.
I help you create a plan for this sacred time, including:
Uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact and advocating for practices that foster bonding and reduce trauma for the baby.
Delaying non-essential procedures and ensuring the baby stays with you while any necessary medical checks are performed.
Includes an up-to-date list of all the midwives attending home births across Portugal, and a comprehensive section with the most frequently asked questions about home birth in Portugal, complete with detailed answers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had a great experience with the birth of my first baby in the Netherlands and wanted to make sure things went well again. But I’d heard so many concerning things about hospitals in Portugal that I was terrified of ending up there. I had no idea where to even start with planning another type of birth. Then I found Diana. She introduced me to the whole world of home birth in Portugal and walked me through all the steps.—It was so helpful. I felt so empowered and prepared, like I could actually do it. And I did!

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.

I tried all these different creams for my daughter's eczema, but nothing was really working. I didn’t even realize that diet could have anything 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, her skin was so much better, and now it’s completely cleared up.

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.

Being pregnant in Portugal was quite overwhelming at first. I felt like I was just getting shuffled through the medical system, and no one was actually listening to me. I wanted to do things differently, but I didn’t even 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 I could skip, how to push back on stuff that didn’t feel right, and helped me find the kind of support that actually felt good.
