Meet Rebeca

Hello, I'm Rebeca Pessoa.

Fiat Mater is Rebeca's postpartum doula practice.

Before becoming a postpartum doula, I practised law in Brazil. When I became a mother, I discovered that my greatest calling was caring for my own family.

Six children later, I realised that the experience, compassion and knowledge I had gained could become a source of support for other mothers.

I know the postpartum journey can be both beautiful and overwhelming. I have felt the joy, the uncertainty, the exhaustion — and sometimes the loneliness — that can come with welcoming a new baby.

That's why I walk alongside families during this season: offering a calm presence, a listening ear, and the kind of support I once longed for myself.

What I believe

Families need rest, reassurance and someone in their corner.

Not perfection. Not a rigid plan. Steady, practical support that helps parents trust themselves and recover well.
