Sophie Lazarski Nicoll
I am an English doula who has been working with families across Paris and internationally for the last five years. My work began as a food delivery service for newborn mothers and has gently evolved into more face to face, intense support work for mothers and families. Feeding families is still the centre of my work, but the realisation that food is just one part of radical care for mothers has changed my work to include more than just meals.
I work with mothers and families to create sacred and personal prenatal, birthing and postnatal spaces with food and herbal care, baby feeding support, sleep solutions, massage, belly binding and endless conversations over cups of tea.
I created my packages with the belief that matrescence, becoming a mother, is an overlooked rite of passage for many women. The care and attention our ancestors received from their communities when they gave birth is no longer our experience. In the early days of motherhood we are left to fend for ourselves with a newborn, often alone, confused and in a great deal of pain. I believe that supporting and nourishing new mothers enables them to embrace this new phase of their life without fear; well rested, capable and confident.
“Sophie was a calming presence who supported me as a new mother physically, mentally and emotionally, allowing me to process with her my birth story and this new season of motherhood all without judgement and offering wise advice as we began as a new family of three.” – Kathryn
