Nice to meet you. I’m Pascale.
I'm a French mother of two children with a university degree in International Trade and languages.
After my births experiences, I felt like re-orienting myself towards maternity care to avoid other women to get the same traumas as I had. In 2002, I wanted to train as a midwife for which I did a stage at the clinic Majorelle in Nancy. I assisted some births but eventually due to personal circumstance i could not continue this path. I now consider this fact, that i could not continue this training, as positive.
In 2004, I discovered Chinese medicine as a patient and I’ve been more and more interested in this holistic and preventative approach since then.
In 2008, after breaking my shoulder, I used Do-In, Qiqong and Tai Chi during my long healing process. From the 1st lessons these were a revelation. I started practicing intensively, it made me balanced mentally and physically. I decided to take a new path and started school again. At the end of my meridian massage training i did a specialisation for pregnant women treatments.
In 2015, life took me to the Netherlands where I had the opportunity to train as a Doula. I knew it was my thing as soon as I started reading all the books for the training. Ina May Gaskin’s conference called “Less is More” was the first step into my fantastic doula journey.
Since then, I’m so grateful to guide mothers in their “miracle of life” journey.
