Doula Elia Gressin

Accompanying you in the process of becoming a mother.

You can call me ✨Elia✨

My life journey as a mother of three children and a two-time breast cancer survivor has changed my perspective on life and childbirth, giving me strength, energy, and at the same time a lot of calm and patience.

Above all, it has given me a strong desire to support and share with all those mothers who need it, reminding them how strong they are and how much more they can become.

I have traveled and lived in different countries and continents throughout my life, experiencing different traditions and approaches to pregnancy, drawing the best from each of my experiences to share them.

You can communicate with me in the language you feel most comfortable with: English, French, or Spanish.

I have been trained by highly qualified teachers with extensive experience, such as:

Leonie Lange, traditional German midwife living and working in Peru for over 35 years.

Ruro Caituiro, traditional midwife, Ruruchay Birth House, Cuzco, Peru.

I am currently taking the Traditional Midwifery course with Mirna Amaya (traditional Mexican midwife).

Facilitator of the use of your voice during pregnancy and labor: Using your voice as a Vocalization in labour has been linked to improved pain control because it appears to relax the mouth and, as a result, the respiratory diaphragm, abdomen and perineum. The vibration that goes through the body during vocalization can help women cope with and relieve pain during delivery. This was a 45hrs course with Esther Santiago (psychologist, musician and musicologist) Spain, 2025.
