Welcome to The Massaging Doula

Choosing Your Doula

Choosing a doula is a deeply personal decision for both of us, and it’s essential that we connect on a level that feels authentic and aligned. I believe this decision isn’t just about experience or knowledge—though those are important—it’s about tapping into something deeper. It’s an intuitive, energetic feeling of, “This is my person.”

As your doula, my role is not to persuade you to follow a specific birth plan or philosophy but to support you in creating the birth experience you envision. Together, we’ll explore evidence-based options, address your unique needs, and empower you to make confident, informed decisions for yourself and your baby.

Your journey is as unique as you are, and my purpose is to walk alongside you, offering unwavering support and helping you feel seen, heard, and valued every step of the way.

Below are my values, do they resonate with you?

1

You recognize the profound power of touch, especially during pregnancy and labor. Whether it's a grounding hand during labor or a nurturing massage to ease the body in pregnancy, you know that touch plays a vital role in your endocrine system (hormones), creating a sense of safety, connection, and harmony within the body and mind.

2

You value deep connection and trust, understanding that these must be earned through both actions and presence, not just words. You're seeking someone who shares this belief—someone who truly "gets it" on a deeper level.

3

You view birth as a deeply personal, transformative journey—one that deserves not only respect but brings power to your autonomy and decisions. You're excited for the experience but also open to the unpredictability that pregnancy and birth can bring.

4

You are aware of your own biases and seek someone who can help navigate the layers of pregnancy and birth with both evidence-based knowledge and instinctive knowledge. You believe that these elements go hand in hand, shaping a balanced and informed birth experience.

5

You understand that your body holds emotions, memories, and wisdom that can deeply influence your pregnancy and labor. These aspects are not just physical; they carry layers of experience and emotion that shape your journey. It’s not just about the physical process of birth—it’s about becoming united with your body’s rhythms, emotions, and intuition, and embracing them fully.

About Me

Hi! I’m Chia, I am a lot of things but first and foremost I am a mother to a wonderful 4-year-old, and godmother to two beautiful boys. I was honored to support their mothers through their birth journeys, a dedicated doula and massage therapist. My roots branch out to Bali, Thailand and the UK.
I view things holistically, and blend the nurturing traditions of my Bali upbringing with modern care here in London. Growing up in Bali, I was surrounded by a deep reverence for life, connection, and the healing power of touch. These principles guide my work as I help parents-to-be create a balanced, empowering pregnancy and birth experience.

During pregnancy, it’s easy for your focus to shift entirely to your baby or family, but I believe you are the heart of this journey. By reconnecting with your body and mind, and taking the time to nurture yourself, you set the foundation for the pregnancy and birth you’ve envisioned. My role is to create a supportive space where you can feel heard, cared for, and prepared for the journey ahead.

This journey isn’t yours alone, I also work with your partner, giving you both tools for your tool box to explore the transformative power of touch and connection, building confidence and creating tools that suit your dynamics in order to build confidence and connection for you and your birthing partner. Its about strengthen your connection, not coming between it.
If I am your sole birth support, then we’ll cultivate an environment that strengthens the bond and lays the groundwork for a positive birth experience.
