Hello everyone,

It has been a long time since I last wrote something here on my blog. That does not mean I have been any less active. Quite the opposite actually. This year has been incredibly full, rich, and moving for me, both professionally and personally as a doula and lactation counsellor here on Ibiza.

I have had the privilege of working with so many wonderful families. Guiding women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum continues to feel like such an honour. Being able to offer continuous support during one of the most transformative times of a woman’s life never stops feeling special to me. Every story, every journey, every family is different, and I feel deeply grateful to be invited into that space.

Something that really stood out this year is that it has been the year in which I have done the most lactation consultations so far. I find this incredibly hopeful. Women are asking for support, and breastfeeding support is no longer a taboo topic. We were never meant to learn how to breastfeed alone. Traditionally, we learned through our village, by watching, being supported, being held. When that village is missing, lactation counsellors step in to offer guidance, reassurance, and practical help. Breastfeeding is a once in a lifetime experience with each child, and when it is something a woman deeply wishes for, it deserves to be protected and supported, not taken away by lack of help.

Alongside lactation work, I have also supported many couples as a doula this year. Emotional support, holding space, sharing information, and helping couples feel safe and informed throughout pregnancy and birth. These sessions are always so powerful, and I am deeply touched by the trust that is placed in me.

This new year is bringing so many exciting projects. Some of them have been quietly cooking already since the end of 2025, and I honestly cannot wait to share more. One big project that is currently taking a lot of our time, love, and energy is Es Niu, a family friendly coworking space here on Ibiza. It will be a coworking space for families, with a beautifully curated kids corner and teachers, created for parents who want to work while knowing their children are close and cared for. It will be open to everyone who works on the island, and it feels very aligned with everything we believe in. We are pouring our hearts into it.

I also wanted to share that I will be completely updating my Hypnobirthing course this year. I will be adding new guided relaxations and fresh content, and this really excites me. Hypnobirthing is such a passion of mine because I see again and again how much it can transform a woman’s birth experience. It builds trust in the body, confidence in the process, and creates a deep bond between the mother and her partner.

On top of all of this, I am writing a lot. I am not revealing too much about that just yet, but it is something very close to my heart, so stay tuned.

Ibiza continues to feel like a place where many families from all over the world come to create their little nest. You can feel it in the energy. So many pregnancies, so many babies being born. It is beautiful to witness, and it means a lot to me that families feel safe enough here to grow their families. Being able to accompany them as a doula, as a lactation counsellor, and often simply as a friend, feels deeply meaningful. I truly form close bonds with the women I support, and I cherish that.

Thank you so much for all the support this past year. I am really excited for everything that is coming.

Big hug and happy new year, Lisa Doula
