TRUSTED BIRTH & POSTNATAL
DOULA IN LONDON

This is a space for women who honour the desire to care for their birth experience. Women who sense how birth leaves an imprint on both mother and baby and on the story they begin together.

I accompany you in birth and postnatally with presence, respect and a realistic perspective, so that you can move through these exquisitely vulnerable times with calm and confidence, feeling held, listened to and embodied.

Having the birth experience you truly want isn’t just luck, It’s a possibility.
And it’s available to you, too!

Why having a doula can enhance your birth experience

Welcome!
I am Agustina, an experienced Latin American doula in London. 

I created Doulatina to restore birth as a living rite of passage, one with soul, presence and tenderness.

I accompany women to experience their births authentically, wherever and however they wish to do it, honoring the ancestral power of the body and allowing more love, less trauma and deeper peace to be born alongside each child. 

My work is grounded in deep listening, gentleness and respect. I walk alongside you so you can hear yourself more clearly, feel supported in your choices and move through birth feeling held, not directed.

My Story

Why should
I have a doula

Most people think empowering births happen by luck but this is not true.

Birth becomes a different experience when you feel safe, respected and supported. When there is space to make decisions. When your voice is heard. When you’ve got an advocate by your side.

Support can actually help you access your own power.

Why a doula changes the experience

What women say

These are the voices of women who were supported, held and accompanied through their journey.

…since having my baby, I have had to explain to many people what a doula is and the reality is I don’t really know if I’m describing all doulas, but I do know how to describe you. My hunch being that you are actually one of a kind. I’ve never really met anyone else who has the warm and calming presence that you do. Being around you immediately made me feel centered and at ease. You are also highly knowledgeable, intuitive, with relentless kindness and patience. From the moment I met you, I knew that labour would be better with you. And, it was. Thank you for holding me. You prepared me mentally for the birthing experience, understanding who I was and what I needed to feel my greatest strength and engage it. You created space for me (ironically, in the tiny bathroom of my unfinished house!) to just move through labour without pressure or judgement. You also embraced me in my loneliest and lowest moment…”

Agustina was an absolute gift as our doula. From our first conversation, I felt supported, understood and completely at ease with her. Throughout the pregnancy she helped us navigate challenges with confidence, Her knowledge of resources and podcasts was incredibly helpful, and she encouraged us to explore our birth plan in depth, so we went into the birth feeling relaxed and prepared. During labour, she was wonderfully attuned to my needs and quick to arrive when we needed her. Her support was invaluable for me and my partner, who found her presence incredibly reassuring. Without Agustina, I don’t think I would have had the courage to even consider a homebirth – let alone have one. Thanks to her guidance and care we welcomed our little boy exactly as we hoped. We couldn’t have been more grateful to have her.”

How can we thank you enough for your presence on our side at all points of our journey to welcome our baby in our lives. As woman to woman, I’m completely amazed at the things I’ve learned over these last months with you and all the guidance, care, and good vibe I received from you at all stages. And what a wonderful birth experience it was! I really found it magical and empowering. Thanks for guiding the midwives and medical team, for reassuring me and my partner at all times, throughout the different moments during the birth and the long days of waiting prior to it. Always the nice word, the nice tool, the right distraction, a text message full of thoughts, a recommendation for medical and holistic support, you really made my journey smoother and more beautiful. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, you’ve been an incredible doula for me and I’m so happy that we met!”

Agus was a wonderful doula. We contacted her at the very beginning of our pregnancy, when we didn’t know much about the different birth options available. She guided us along a beautiful path that led to a natural birth with no interventions, which we truly enjoyed. On the day our daughter was born, Agus played a vital role in creating the perfect atmosphere for me to give birth with calm and confidence. My partner, Agus, and I worked together as a team, and we felt deeply supported throughout the whole process.”

Augustina supported us through our birth journey, her approach is gentle, loving and present, she always respected our choices and our path and did her best to support us through these. We found her knowledgable about birth and navigating the nhs system in the best way for us, she was on call and always available for our questions. The sessions we had were helpful and closing the bones was post birth was healing and powerful. She worked as part of a team with another doula who was also highly knowledgeable and experienced, this gave the journey an added dimension as we had the support of two highly experienced knowledgable doulas each bringing their own unique skills. Augustina has a gentle, grounded and loving presence that really made us feel safe and comfortable to have her as part of our birthing journey. We are grateful to her for her support, kindness and love”

My experience with Agustina was brilliant. From day one she invested a lot of time in getting to know me and my husband. Therefore, she was able to use this knowledge on the big day and support us in a gentle and protective manner. I felt guided from the very first moment. Agustina was able to offer advice in many areas including breastfeeding, vaccinations and labor prep. Additionally, her background in German New Medicine and incredible listening skills, helped us decode some of my fears, so by the time labor day arrived, I was feeling prepared, confident and healed in many ways. I can only recommend Agustina. My labor was a healing experience from my first baby (As my first birth was very traumatic). Thank you for making my dream labor come true.”

An amazing experience. After a first birth that ended up in c-section and was full of interventions, Agus has supported me through my second pregnancy and an amazing home birth. She has been all that I needed and more, empowering and educating me throughout this journey. She reminded me to trust my body, something that is very much needed for birth but doesn’t come easy when the medical team is continuously questioning it. Agustina’s work is invaluable and it is thanks to her that I achieved an unmedicated home vbac. Would highly recommend!”

Agustina’s support during my pregnancy and during the birth of my baby was incredible. I had a difficult first birth and really wanted my second to be totally different. She is an incredibly knowledgeable, kind and calm presence. I strongly believe her input resulted in the birth of my second baby being one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, which sounds strange to say but it’s true. She is exactly the person you want in your corner. I am so grateful”

Estoy súper contenta con mi doula Agus ya que tuve su acompañamiento dias antes de mi parto, estuvo informándome acerca de mis beneficios como mujer, posibles riesgos y dándome a conocer todos mis derechos en cualquier decisión que se quisiera tomar durante este proceso, me acompaño durante el parto súper agradecida”

Agustina filled this role perfectly-her presence was felt strongly by me, I didn’t feel alone, yet we didn’t have to speak, we could just ‘be’. I found Agustina a very calm and grounded presence. her disposition and way of engaging was gentle and peaceful, but without being patrionising or over ‘soft’”

She was able to provide a continuous source of comfort, encouragement and support (both emotional and physical) before labour, during labour and postnatal”

‘Agus was my doula for my second baby, after a difficult experience with my first during COVID restrictions, I was adamant I’d have more support second time around. I am lucky enough to have the Carrot benefit at work which funds doula care so I was keen to find one. From the moment I met Agus over video call I felt I could talk openly to her and after a long and emotional phone call I knew she was who I needed. I ended up having a planned section in the end, but I was prepared for a VBAC with her in case that had happened too…. The sessions I had with Agus before and after the section and the ‘when needed’ WhatsApp contact really helped me feel so supported and contributed to a very positive birth experience. Her network of contacts is vast and she directed me to brilliant lactation consultants, post natal doula care and osteopathy. Her treatments after the birth, including closing of the bones, were fantastic and extremely healing also. Agus is a very special person, gifted with understanding women during this vulnerable time and I’m so blessed to have had her by my side”
