Dear Mom-To-Be!
We invite you to join our Pregnancy Support Group for Foreigners dedicated to Migrant Pregnant Women living in Warsaw and in the vicinity. We know how hard it may get to be an expectant mother in Poland while you don’t understand the medical system, the procedures, you don’t know your rights and have no idea where to look for support, recommendations, specialists, and, most of all, you don’t speak Polish. We would like to make your pregnancy time easier, more comfortable and less lonely. We offer 2-hour meetings in English where you will find women in a similar situation to yours, where you will have a chance to give and receive support, exchange contacts to specialists, get reliable information, discuss your doubts, concerns and fears with other members.
Who are we?
We’re 2 English speaking Doulas with a great experience, knowledge and heart.
Doula Opiekunka Narodzin (Aleksandra Halkiewicz-Żeberek):
I’ve been a Doula for 11 years during which I have gathered a lot of experience while supporting women in their pregnancy, birth, postpartum and lactation, as well as while meeting expectant mothers in a Pregnancy Support Group for Polish women that I’ve been running for 2 years now. Within this time I’ve observed that most Pregnant Foreigners are pretty lonely, have trouble understanding the system and don’t know who to turn to for support – and all this, in most cases, not speaking Polish. Thus the idea for this Group. I hope you will find here peace, understanding, empathy, information, knowledge and friendship, namely – a village. AS IT REALLY TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A MOTHER.
LawenDoula (Renata Osińska-Woźniak):
I’m a woman, just like you. I’m also a partner, sister, daughter, friend and mother. My motherhood, related with celebrating womanhood, leads me into being a Doula - supporting women in their own motherhood.
My professional life is focused on a woman. I’m a Doula, a Womb Massage Therapist and a Shadow Work Therapist. I run workshops for women and women’s circles. I encourage and inspire you and myself to develop an aware and healthy lifestyle and eating. I deeply believe that mindfulness of womanhood changes the quality of life.
I invite you to join our meetings created with you in mind.
