Soraia Torres Lage

I'm Soraia, a certified Perinatal Doula and Hypnobirthing instructor.

I'm passionate about humans. I love discovering, studying and understanding how we function, how we express ourselves and how we are shaped by our experiences. I am a human rights advocate, a shameless foodie, a birth geek and a fearless believer in the power of trusting our intuition. As a birth educator I can share tools that support you to feel confident, safe and empowered to build a positive experience during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood/motherhood. 

I trust in your innate ability to birth your baby - in whatever way you choose - to make decisions for yourself and for your baby. I can provide advocacy and help you to promote a safe and caring environment for you and for everyone involved in welcoming your baby. 

I am available to support families online or in-person in Bristol.
