What is your mission/motivation?
“I support women and couples as a doula. My goal is for the couple to ‘go into’ labor fully informed so they can be active participants—not mere spectators—during this very important moment. The goal is to try to be prepared for all possibilities and to make informed choices. It’s also very important to me to involve the father as much as possible so that he can find his place in the process. I’ve specialized in various areas to broaden my range of services, such as Bonapace workshops, Rebozo, and placenta processing. In addition, I’m a child sleep consultant with 1001Dodos, where I help parents and children work together to regain peaceful nights of sleep.” Nathalie Giroud
Testimonials from Motherstories Members
“I tend to worry a lot, but she knew right away how to put me at ease. Caring and full of humor, she was always easy to reach and quickly understood how I tick, which made our conversations very easy. She established a sense of trust right from our first appointment, which meant I could always confide in her—something very important during this major life stage.
Throughout the pregnancy, we met several times, both with and without my husband. Nathalie helped us explore all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth—all those things you don’t necessarily know about, especially with your first child! She introduced us to the Bonapace method, co-organized a wonderful Blessing Way, and brought me a great deal of peace of mind.
Having her by our side during my delivery was a huge relief for both my husband and me. We were so glad she was there! Thanks to her, I was able to carry out my birth plan from start to finish. Nathalie perfectly filled the role we gave her in this momentous event.
She also did a wonderful job processing my placenta. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy all its benefits: mother tinctures, placenta prints, capsules, balm, and membranes. My baby and I were able to fully reap all these benefits.
Nathalie was always there for me, even during my somewhat difficult postpartum period. Whether we were laughing or crying, I could always count on her! We can’t thank her enough for what she’s done, and my husband and I already know that we’ll call on Nathalie again during our next pregnancy.
