Brigid DeBarra

My name is Brigid DeBarra, birth and postpartum doula and yoga teacher, based in Cork City. Originally from Canada, I have been living in Cork since 2015 and have intertwined myself within the local community, holding strong local values and growing the village wherever possible.

I became a doula because I wanted to work one on one with people providing person centred care and support within the community. I believe in taking a holistic approach to pregnancy birth and postpartum, using yoga, breathwork, meditation, and warming nutritious food to strengthen and heal the pregnant, birthing, and postpartum bodies, thus reducing the need for pharmacological pain relief and other interventions.

In an effort to bring doula support to all families I offer a 20% discount to single parents and minimum wage families.

My mission is to support birthing people as they make informed decisions about their health using evidence based information and holistic approaches wherever possible.
