Hi! I am Ugnė,

​

 

My personal journey has inspired me to support women during this most profound experience in life. Having had a hospital birth and two waterbirths at home, I know how important it is to have support around you so you could make informed choices. No matter what type of birth you are going to have it can still be an empowered experience. I learned a lot from my births, especially how to navigate the system and how to trust your instincts. Your body is so powerful and wise. 

​​

My doula journey began after completing the course with Conscious Birthing in 2022. Shortly after I joined the Scottish Doula Network.Being part of a doula community is essential for this work. 

 

Originally, I come from Lithuania but Edinburgh has been my home for 15 years now. If I am not running after my kids, you can always find me in the kitchen cooking feasts, baking sourdough or working in my allotment. I love keeping up with what's happening in a birth world by reading books, podcasts, research articles. But I also love reading nivels, so there is always a pile of books by my bedside.
