Hey Parents,
I’ve walked in your shoes – the anticipation and preparations for childbirth can be overwhelming. The births of my two daughters and my breastfeeding journey added a profound dimension to my life. These transformative events inspired me to dedicate myself to guiding parents through the empowering passage to parenthood. As a doula, I offer support not only to mothers but to entire families before, during, and after birth – providing physical and emotional support, reliable information, and advocacy.
So, how can I assist you as a doula? We’ll meet at least two times to discuss your birth expectations and preferences. Starting from week 37, I’m on standby, available for you to call upon as soon as labour begins, whether you’re at home or in the hospital. Throughout the entire labour, I provide comfort measures, reassurance, and non-medical techniques to help you cope with the intensity of birth. Since I am also trained in using TENS during labour, if you desire so, my professional obstetric TENS equipment may also be a valuable addition to tame those contractions. I can also offer background information during labour to support your decision-making process in case of proposed interventions, always respecting your choices. Apart from English and Hungarian, I speak Flemish and French – so I can facilitate your communication with your care providers too.
Drawing on my expertise in Spinning Babies® techniques, I can propose them in specific situations during labour. Following the birth of your little one, I stay with you for an hour or two to ensure your well-being and boost your confidence. Subsequently, we schedule a postpartum visit to discuss your birth experience and provide live assistance with breastfeeding and baby care.
And about me? I am originally from Hungary, I am 50 years old, a geriatric mom 😊 (I was 40 and 43 when I gave birth), a female health and birth geek and a YouTuber. My YouTube channel is of course about birth – but it is in Hungarian…so I do not link it here. Looking forward to meeting you in person!

Testimonials
“Kata as a doula was such a great support for the whole family. For me as a first time mom, she was so knowledgeable answering all my questions with kindness and without judgment. Her presence was so reassuring, a real blessing…and even after the birth.”
~ Kady (Mali)
“I could not be more grateful that Kata was there to support us during birth. I personally was super nervous and there were moments that if she would not have been there, I don’t know what my wife would have done. Really there were moments I was in another dimension, but thankfully Kata was always there to reassure me. All in all, I totally recommend people to investigate what doulas really do, because for me they are really incredible and Kata was simply amazing, very professional, knowledgeable and she gave us tips that helped to make labour very smooth.”
~ Carlos (Salvador)
“When I got in contact with Kata, I immediately felt her kindness and was amazed by her knowledge and how she shared it with me. I really liked the sessions we had as I learned and discovered a lot of new things and finally when the moment came she was there with me, supporting me and reassuring me all the way through. I am so glad that we shared this amazing experience and I will do it again with her that is for sure!”
