From Womb to Arms
From Womb to Arms
A full-scope preparation for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Held entirely in Portuguese.
There is more to pregnancy than appointments and ultrasounds.
There is more to birth than one single day.
And there is much more to postpartum than you are often told.
You are already changing.
Not just growing a baby, but new questions, new boundaries, new truths.
This course invites you to prepare not just for the baby, but for yourself.
For the stretch, the rupture, the remaking.
It’s not just education, it’s a guided passage.
Hi, I’m Beatriz Facio
PhD nurse with over 10 years of experience in pediatric and family care. Currently working as a birth & postpartum doula, lactation consultant and baby massage instructor.
I have walked alongside many through the quiet, raw, and powerful stretch between expecting and becoming.
With me, you won’t be rushed through milestones, easy fixes, or formulas. You will be invited to notice, to decide, and to carry what’s yours with more clarity and less noise.
You will receive a steady hand, careful attention, and a process built on knowledge that respects complexity, not just outcomes.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for Portuguese-speaking families living in Sweden.
It’s a good fit if:
-
You are due to give birth between January and March 2026 and want to prepare intentionally
-
You want to understand both your own body and the Swedish healthcare system
-
You are looking for information, emotional support, and a sense of community
-
You value evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and emotionally aware care.
Course structure
Over several months, we meet online for 2 hours each time to explore what’s happening in your body, your mind, your relationships, and your life.
You’ll be part of a small group, in Portuguese, with space to listen, share, and ask questions.
It’s not about following a perfect plan. It’s about feeling informed, prepared and heard.
