Hi! I am Ugnė, a trained birth doula based in Edinburgh and a mother of three children. I learned a lot from my births, especially from the last unassisted homebirth with my son. It taught me how beautifully woman's body can birth her baby in an undisturbed, safe environment, surrounded only by people that she truly trusts.

 I was supported by the same wonderful doula during my three births and really believe that having continuous care and someone you could trust makes a huge difference to your birth experience.

 

 Right after my daughter was born at home I felt so empowered and strong. I wanted every woman to have this birth experience. The calling to become a doula and serve the families grew stronger. I completed the course with Conscious Birthing in 2022. Not long after I became a member of Scottish Doula Network  through which I receive mentorship, support, friendship and lots of wisdom. 

 

Originally, I come from Lithuania but Edinburgh has been my home over a decade now. You can always find me in the kitchen cooking feasts, baking sourdough or running after my kids. I love being outdoors, growing veg, foraging and reading books.
