Hi, I’m Regina. I’m from Hungary. When I was 7 my brother was born. I fell in love with him the moment they brought him home. He became my real doll. My parents allowed me (no idea why) to co-sleep with him when he was only a few months old, which continued until he was 7 !
Due to a long and messy divorce, I ended up practically raising him myself from a very young age. To date we remain very close with each other.
At 19, straight out of school and almost no English, I moved to the UK and became a nanny. My first family had 3 children. The girls were 3 and 4 and the baby boy was only a few months old. Due to the cord being wrapped around his neck several times,the boy was born without vital signs. It took the medical team a long time before he came back. In fact they almost gave up on him. After bringing him home, he used to scream the house down during the night. I have never heard such a sound before. It actually sounded like he was being tortured. His mother suffered from postpartum depression and refused to get up to check on him. Since I was a live-in nanny, I attended to him. After holding him for a while he’d calm down, but the moment I’d want to put him down he’d restart the cry and scream. For a few days I’d sit on his bedroom floor, my back against the crib, him sleeping on me. As sleep deprivation set in I had to talk to the mother to find alternative arrangements. She suggested that I co-sleep with him. For the next several months he slept on me, quiet as a church mouse.
14 years later as I’m studying Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, I learn about birth trauma and its aftermath on us. I realized that that little baby (who was born in the middle of the night) was reliving his horrific birth trauma, Every Night. My mind was blown.
My relationship with the children and the way I was looking after every kid after that was different. How I interacted with parents, especially with pregnant/ postpartum moms was different.
I decided to take Advanced Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy studies for mothers, babies and pregnancies. I’ve seen many times how postpartum can take its toll on mothers, whether that’s because there was lack of support, knowledge or a traumatic birthing experience. Becoming a full spectrum doula was the next obvious step for me. With compassion and my extensive background in health and wellness, nutrition, lifestyle coaching, exercise, manual therapy, physical rehabilitation, NLP, hypnotherapy and trauma informed coaching, the whole family can thrive. You can consider me a one stop shop for your family needs before, during and after pregnancy.
I love supporting new families into this new chapter of their lives. I believe that I’m in a unique position to accompany you on this sacred journey. I look forward to being there for you and your baby.
