At the moment, I am completing my training to become a maternity nurse. Although I am not certified yet, I have recently finished my doula studies in a collaborative course: Para Ser Doula which is endorsed by the Spanish Association of Doulas (Asociación Española de Doulas).
This page is intended to narrate my journey into the world of motherhood while I navigate the waters of entrepreneurship in a foreign country with various language, cultural and medical challenges.
