Barbara speaks her truth Transform with Leisa Masters: Stories of business, birth and life

Barbara, originally from Brazil, shares how her powerful first birth experience led her to become a birth educator and doula. She wanted women to know the lessons she had learned that had helped her navigate the hospital system.

But as time went on, Barbara began to witness and hear so many birth stories, especially from foreigners like herself, which made her realise the education course she was teaching wasn’t enough. This coupled with her doula work and attending births in hospital, began to take its toll on her mental health.

Barbara knew it was time to make a change. Hear how she decided to walk away from her thriving birth education business to start offering the type of work with women that really lit her up.
