About Me ‘Hi, I am Kizzy, which means “Stillness; be at peace”. I live with my daughter in West Sussex after moving to the UK from my hometown, Venezuela in 2014.  I used to be a Marketing lecturer back in my country, where I worked in the business sector for ten years. Following that, I became a Mother.  Since I gave birth, I experienced a paradigm shift and learnt to listen to my soul’s desires and to follow my own excitement. After having embraced my own birthing story, I had a calling to become a Doula. I am a calm and supportive person, willing to serve and to transmit positive and peaceful energies to those who are with me. I am a breastfeeding and babywearing advocate and a faithful practitioner of the gentle parenting style. I speak Spanish and English.  In order to align myself with my passion and my Calling, I have completed two training courses, after having had the wonderful experience of becoming a Mother in 2014:...

In the days immediately after a new birth, you might feel as if you were floating in a private bubble of happiness, but real life can wake you up when you become aware that actually, you are also part of a society full of myths and unsolicited opinions that may affect your confidence as a mother, leading you to feel fear and anxiety. That's why every new Mum deserves a postnatal Doula.  But, what a postnatal Doula does? A postnatal Doula is experienced in providing support in the home to the new mother, partner and/or siblings in their adjustment to the new family life, so they can be empowered to take informed decisions that are right for their baby and for them as a family. I am a postnatal Doula, which means I can provide you:  - In-home personalised support for the Mum, baby and family. This includes comfort measures for postpartum recovery.  - Breastfeeding support and advice, if needed. Or support and assistance with bottle feeding.  - Non-j...

Childbirth overseas by Kizzy Petit Doula Being an immigrant myself, I have experienced the lack of a familiar, trustful, loving and non-judgemental support at the moment of childbirth and during postpartum stage. My mum and my grandma were at the other side of the world, I wasn't getting any sleep after the baby was born and I was facing a sort of depression, as there were many things that didn't happen as I desired.  Fortunately, the truth is that no matter if we give birth with a proper tribal support or if we end having our baby by ourselves under the shade of an Oak tree, our babies teach us to connect with our own Soul and to embrace the path that really resonates with us and with our Truth... We just need to trust those tiny but very wise human beings. After having healed my own birthing story and having become a Doula, I can assure you that with a proper guidance and informed support, you definitely can connect with the infinite love and abun...

Healing my own Childbirth by Kizzy Petit Doula It took me more than 2 years and an intense work of raising awareness and consciousness, having healed my own childbirth story. After 2 long days of labor, being in an environment full of fear, disconnection, lack of trust and emotional support from key people unfortunately bad informed and with deep-rooted beliefs, at the end all my efforts for having a natural birth, with no interventions nor medications, I lost faith in me and began to doubt, so I gave up... because I had been contaminated by fear!  Believe me, it could be smelt! So, it didn't happen as I expected (yes, now I know that expectations sucks!)... it was too far from my lovely birthing plan: I had almost all the package that I didn't want for me and/or my baby: induction, induced water break, epidural, synthetic pitocin, being attached to a monitor, episiotomy... And, did I mention fear? However, since miracles happen and magic exists, my ba...
