Here is a little back story on my own maternity journey…
My first steps into the midwifery world
When my sister was pregnant, she asked me to be her support person for her delivery. I was thrilled, curious, and so proud all at once! On the big day, I found myself naturally reassuring her, talking her through the tough moments, massaging her, and even playing board games to keep her spirits up. Without realizing it at the time, I was living my first moments as a doula.
As the labor progressed, and she was fully dilated, her baby experienced a severe heart rate drop known as bradycardia. While the doctor prepared for a possible intervention with forceps, the midwife in charge turned to acupuncture, applying it to my sister's pinky toes. With confidence, she reassured my sister, "You're going to make it, and your baby will be safe." I was in awe when my nephew was born healthy and vigorous, even before the doctor had finished putting on his gloves. My sister only needed to push three times! I was so amazed! This midwife exuded such reassurance and confidence, allowing the birth experience to be a healthy one. Thanks to her skilled approach, the baby was safe! From that day on, I decided I wanted to become a midwife AND acupuncturist! From this experience, my journey into understanding and promoting natural childbirth began, driven by a belief in empowering women to trust and harness their own incredible capabilities.
My first steps into the acupuncture world
After three years as a midwife in Paris, I pursued a degree in acupuncture with a focus on obstetrics. I was amazed by how effective this approach was. Whether I was handling high-risk pregnancies like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes or dealing with challenges during delivery and postpartum, I often found that while traditional medical treatments were sometimes necessary, I could frequently switch the situation from pathological to physiological. This experience really opened my eyes to the powerful benefits of integrating acupuncture into maternity care
People often asked: "How do you work your magic?" The answer was straightforward: acupuncture allows the body's natural functions to operate optimally, supporting a natural and empowering childbirth experience.. I like to think of myself as providing the precise medicine patients need, akin to what an OBGYN would do with Western drugs but without the side effects. At some point, even the OB/GYNs started asking me to apply some of my "magic" techniques before stepping in with medical interventions. I really loved this collaboration, as I believe that both approaches—chinese and western medicine—complement and enhance each other wonderfully.
The California Dream: Becoming an Accomplished Doula and Acupuncturist
Then we moved to San Francisco and I decided to deepen my understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as I knew I was still in need to learn more about this beautiful medicine. I enrolled in an acupuncture school for five years, diving into a complex and fascinating world that provided the answers I had always been seeking. From pulse diagnosis to examining the tongue, TCM taught me to use my senses to heal—a skill that makes a whole difference when we usually tend to rely on imaging and technological advances. I finally gained the tools to address any pathology using natural medicine, my life long dream!
My own Story becoming a Mom
During my time at acupuncture school, I experienced two miscarriages in a row, which were heartbreaking but also incredibly informative experiences. Motivated by this, I committed to weekly acupuncture sessions and started taking Chinese herbs because it was clear that my hormonal system needed support—after years on contraceptives, my menstrual cycles were irregular, short, with a scanty bleeding and accompanied by intense PMS symptoms like breast tenderness, cramps, and mood swings.
I was amazed at how quickly and effectively these treatments worked. Using this medicine for my own health reinforced my belief in its efficacy—it works not just because you believe in it, but because it is legitimate medicine. Within just three months, my periods became regular and symptom-free, my BBT charts were textbook perfect, and I felt confident enough to try conceiving again. To my delight, I got pregnant on our first attempt and went on to have a healthy pregnancy and an incredibly smooth labor!
Yep, I Iiterally broke the water, and by the time we arrived at the hospital, 3 hours later, I was fully dilated and ready to push! I had no fear or anxiety; I was trusting my husband and my doula 200% and myself 1000%. I knew what was happening every step of the way, and I was excited to experience this magical moment myself!
I had dreamed of this moment my entire life, and suddenly, it was actually happening! It felt surreal—every single wish on my birth plan was respected. I was overwhelmed with a sense of empowerment, as if I had orchestrated everything in my mind and it was all coming to life exactly as I envisioned. I felt incredibly proud and deeply grateful to have the perfect support team by my side and the knowledge to advocate effectively for myself
For my second baby, I prepared for conception three months in advance, using herbs again, and once more, I had another healthy pregnancy. For this time, I decided to give birth at home. Our monthly sessions with a midwife were personalized, informative and reassuring. While My pregnancy could have raised some challenges and doubts in a hospital settings, my midwife never doubted about my capacity of having a healthy baby ANd that’s what happened. SHE was the one who truly understood the difference between physiological variations and pathology. I had immense confidence in my midwife and was incredibly excited for the arrival of my new baby! True to expectations, the labor progressed very quickly. The midwife arrived just in time, 15 minutes before the birth, while the second midwife unfortunately couldn't make it in time. And guess what? My baby arrived perfectly healthy, as vibrant as could be!
For both my babies, I used acupuncture throughout my pregnancies to prepare for labor. I believe that a blend of knowledge, confidence, and physical preparation through acupuncture greatly contributed to the speed and smoothness of my deliveries. And most importantly, the respect I hoped as a patient and as a mom for my own choices.

My phylosophy on becoming an empowered mother
This personal journey through fertility and pregnancy not only healed me but also deepened my trust and confidence in the power of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and in the power of women’s body.
