Sophie Fraschina – A doula in Belgium by So Cocoon

Sophie is one of the two doulas from the duo ‘A doula in Belgium by So Cocoon’.

She is from Belgium, where she spent most of her life.

At the end of High School, she decided to spend a year in Australia as an exchange student. She had a chance to share daily life in a great host-family and learned English as an everyday language as well as a way to have more intimate heart to heart conversations with her friends. Back in Belgium, she worked for 10 years in an international company where English was the company language spoken every day.

Sophie is a mum of three kids born in Belgium. After having had her kids, she realised she really wanted to propose a non-medical support to future parents. This professional retraining was an evidence for her!

Since 2015 Sophie is certified full spectrum Belgian doula helping mum-to-be, parents and families with a non-medical support.

She is continuously learning and followed several additional seminars such as:

• “Paramanadoula” with Michel Odent and Liliana Lammers (UK)
• “Accompany life” with Isabelle Challut (CA)
• “Birth quantics approach” with Karine La Sage-Femme (CA)
• “Breastfeeding: tongue-tie” with Caroline De Ville (BE living in USA)

Since 2017 she became a certified perinatal massage therapist. She believes in the power of the woman body: to grow life, to give birth and to hold a very new baby. The massage is helping women to relax, reconnect with their baby, their soul.

Since February 2019, Sophie is certified yoga-doula. She learnt the Kundalini perinatal yoga to provide women with great tools in breathing, meditating, relaxation and asanas.

Because she lived as expats she knows the feeling you can experience being a far from home, especially during the particular time of pregnancy and early parenthood. She also knows that we all grow with cultural standards. All pregnant women have expectations and she supports you with those in mind.
