Meet Ellie, your caring Midwife
Welcome to Your International Midwife – Multicultural Maternity Care for Expatriates
Are you a pregnant expatriate or do you have a multicultural family living in Europe or the Middle East? Whether you speak English, Italian or Portuguese, I believe you deserve compassionate and personalised maternity care that respects your cultural background and empowers you at every stage of your pregnancy and early motherhood.
Specialised and personalised prenatal and postnatal support for you
With over 17 years of professional experience as a registered midwife, doula, and perinatal educator, I offer comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care designed to support multicultural families abroad. From personalised birth planning and breastfeeding guidance to emotional support during labour and postnatal visits, every service I offer is tailored to meet your specific needs.
Why Choose Me as Your International Midwife?
Having lived as an expat myself in Italy, Brazil, the UAE, Portugal, and now the UK, I deeply understand the challenges of pregnancy and childbirth away from home. My commitment is to provide empathetic, respectful care that empowers you to make informed decisions and enjoy a positive maternity experience wherever you are.
What I can offer
Continuous multilingual support before and after birth, including private online lessons.
I offer services in English, Italian and Portuguese, providing flexible consultations, private prenatal lessons and breastfeeding support, both in person and online, to meet the diverse needs of expatriate mothers around the world.
Expert guidance on navigating local and international maternity systems
I help you understand how maternity is approached and followed where you live and, by comparing it with what you know and consider “normal”, I offer you an informed decision-making process to consciously choose what you want during your pregnancy abroad.
Communication tools for effective collaboration with your medical team
I provide you and your birth partner with the skills and confidence to communicate clearly and effectively with healthcare professionals, overcoming language or cultural barriers.
Personalised birth and postnatal planning, in line with your cultural and personal preferences.
Together, we create a birth plan that includes your preferences for pain management, partner involvement and emergency planning, taking into account your cultural background and empowering you during labour and delivery.
We also discuss your preferences regarding feeding and parenting, as well as local customs, to help you feel confident in caring for your baby and family.
Begin your journey into motherhood feeling supported and confident.
Contact me today to learn more about personalised pre- and postnatal care packages, developed especially to serve expatriate families in Europe and the Middle East.
My goal is to transform the birth landscape by improving the BIRTH experience for women and babies.
For me, the most rewarding part of my work is building strong relationships and bonds with my clients, and each one of them holds a special place in my heart!
