Kia ora, I'm Valentina

Valentina in the forest with a basket

Holistic doula & bodywork practitioner.

Based in Ticino, Switzerland.

For a long time I struggled to find where I belonged. A sabbatical year in New Zealand brought me home: to the body, to the land, to my roots.

I work as a doula in birth and motherhood, and I accompany people through the passages that change a life. The body is my first instrument: listening to it, reading it, letting it speak. The rest comes from there.
