Natalia Isabel: daughter, sister, wife, ceramist,
guardian of births, masseuse among other things.

At 27 years old (in 2019), I began a profound search for self-knowledge, following a calling to review and organize my life before embarking on motherhood. I understood the importance of preparing and purifying my body and soul to break free from distorted patterns in my lineage, so I delved into the practice and study of various therapeutic and spiritual modalities that helped me connect with my purpose of serving life and motherhood.

 

In 2020 and 2021, during my studies in alternative body therapies (massage, reflexology, and auriculotherapy), I experienced the healing power of touch, and in the following years, I brought it to my work with women.

My inner mother then guided me to learn about childbirth, this powerful feminine rite of passage. I fell madly in love. Here were the answers! I discovered why my mother named me "Natalia," which means "birthday." How was I to know this would be one of my greatest passions in life? I guess a mother always knows...

Investigating my own traumatic birth in a hospital, I found many answers to the origin of behaviors and patterns repeated in my history. I sense that this difficult arrival into the world is the reason why I found myself on this path.

 

I trained as a doula in Uruguay in 2022, then discovered the world of free birth with the Free birth Society, embarking on a very different path from what was proposed in doula training, where the approach was completely medicalized. I was looking for freedom, information, and autonomy, and I found all this and much more in the MatriBirth Midwifery Institute training in 2024 and 2025, where I deepened my understanding of physiological birth, the power dynamics in medicalized births, and acquired many tools to support and guide women toward their own power and self-sovereignty. Since then, I have worked with women at all stages of their lives, integrating my personal experience and training in alternative therapies (healing through touch) with conscious listening and accompaniment in birth integration processes, in preparation for birth, during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

In 2025, I traveled to the United States for a transformative Wise Women's Retreat where I met my mentors and companions on this journey, received guidance and direct teachings from senior midwives and medicine women such as Sister Morningstar, Emilee Saldaya, Kirstin Hauser, and Kate Varsova (among many others), and reaffirmed the healing power of the women's circle and my desire to create this kind of support in my community in Rocha, Uruguay.
