Helena Fiorini

Helena is someone who is passionate about providing assistance and supporting families. She is also a lover of studying and researching. She was born and was raised in Minas Gerais, Brazil, a place known for its hospitality and warmness. Knowing that "it takes a village to raise a child", she loves supporting families as a birth and postpartum doula, encouraging, guiding, and comforting families. Her first experience in the birthing world was in June 2013, during her Occupational Therapist degree. She interviewed and visited people during prenatal, and postpartum stages, but also had the delight of supporting some births during her graduation in Brazil. After that, she moved abroad twice with her husband (Canada and USA). Those experiences warmed her heart and guided this true caring person on her path to becoming a Doula! Helena was trained as a Birth (PALS Certified) and Postpartum (NAPS certification in process) doula at the Bastyr University Simkin Center, and has taken additional training in the use of a TENS unit, Spinning Babies techniques, and Hypnobirthing Support Techniques for birth professionals. Helena desires to support families in the birthing process however they choose, is willing to support a laboring person who may chooses medication or no medication, or a cesarean section. Doula support can be very valuable in any situation! She provides support for families of diverse cultures and backgrounds. In addition to supporting growing families, Helena enjoys indoor gardening, the great outdoors and nature, lives with her husband and her friendly and sweet dog.
