Doula Support.
A doula offers non-medical support (emotional, physical, and practical) through conception, pregnancy, birth, and the tender weeks that follow. She listens without judgement, answers your questions, and supports your choices at your own pace, always alongside your medical care rather than in place of it. From birth, informational and emotional support to hands-on help in the postpartum period, a doula is a steady, reassuring presence through one of life's biggest transitions.
Nest & Bloom's doulas bring a deeply multicultural understanding to their work, supporting families from all backgrounds, in more than one language, with sensitivity to the different ways birth and early parenthood are lived and understood across cultures. They're also well connected within the French healthcare system, working in complement to midwives, doctors, and specialists, and able to guide you or refer you on whenever further support is needed; a valuable bridge for families finding their way in an unfamiliar setting.
To begin, find out more about our doulas below and book a first session.
Iris Bazin
Iris offers gentle, deeply personalised support that complements your medical care; never replacing it. Working with women, couples, and families one-to-one, she draws on tools such as perinatal hypnosis, relaxation, guided meditation, and visualisation to help you feel calm, prepared, and confident. Alongside emotional support, she offers physical care through pregnancy-safe massage and the traditional Rebozo, plus practical, logistical help at home. She sees clients in-home across Paris and at Nest & Bloom, always moving at your pace, with attentive listening and without judgement.
