Pregnancy, birth and postpartum

A place for pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

ALMA

soul · nourishing · life-giving

Alma means “soul” in Spanish. The Latin word almus means nourishing and life-giving. To me, Alma represents care, connection and deep feminine wisdom.

PORTAL

threshold · transition · rite of passage

A portal is a threshold between two worlds — between what was and what is coming into being. Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are times of transformation.

It’s beautiful to have you here.

Every birth is unique. So is every journey.

I accompany women and families from pregnancy through birth and into postpartum — with trust, knowledge, presence and an open heart.

The journey

Becoming, opening and arriving.

Three distinct moments within one journey, each with its own rhythm and needs.

The time of becoming

Pregnancy

A time to get to know your body, your intuition and your baby more deeply.

The threshold

Birth

A moment of opening, surrender and transformation; a strength already within you.

How I accompany

Knowledge. Experience. Trust. Presence.

For me, knowledge and intuition, scientific understanding and experience, the body and the emotional, mental and spiritual worlds all belong together.

I am by your side to inform, hold, observe, strengthen and provide a sense of safety. I don’t want to tell you how you should give birth; I want to support you in making conscious decisions for yourself and your baby.

Rituals

Experiencing transitions consciously.

Some moments deserve to be more than something that simply happens. Rituals open a space to pause, feel, honour and accompany a transition.

PariéndoMe

A Spanish-language space for knowledge, experiences, stories and reflections around pregnancy, birth and postpartum. The German and English spaces are gradually taking shape.

Stefanie Leila

Midwife & Doula

I love accompanying women and families through profound transitions — with an open heart, an attentive presence and a deep trust in the power of life.

My journey took me from the Tyrolean Alps to Mexico, where for many years I learned alongside a traditional midwife and accompanied families through pregnancy, birth and the Cuarentena.

Experience & presence

Experience holds. Listening guides.

Everything I have learned is part of how I support you. And still, every woman, every family and every birth asks me to be fully present and to truly listen.

Testimonials

Voices from those who walked this path.

Having Leila as my doula was one of the greatest gifts I could have given myself during my birth experience. From the moment she became part of my journey, I felt supported, understood, and deeply cared for. She has this beautiful ability to be completely present without ever taking over the space. she knows when to guide you, when to encourage you, when to.
