Tiamati Founder · Midwife & Doula
Who is behind Tiamati
I created Tiamati right after COVID, as I was leaving my career in biotechnology and discovering the wonders of Mexico. I was fortunate enough to be working as a doula in the local community while the pandemic set the pace for online antenatal education.
Tiamati was just organic. This is a safe place, here to guide you through your pregnancy, tailored to your needs. I truly believe we are all different and unique. Our experiences and beliefs shape how we see the world… So why do we manufacture pregnancy courses as if everyone is after the same things?
After Mexico, I came to London, studied to be a midwife, and started to work in the NHS as a midwife. I now bring that combined skill set into one-to-one sessions: an evidence-based approach paired with holistic, approachable care.
Based in Portugal 🇵🇹 — available in person and online worldwide.

You leave not just informed, but genuinely ready. Confident. Like yourself.

“Margarida has been with us since the very beginning and it was the best choice we could have made for ourselves. Not only did she prepare us for everything that could happen during birth, she even went the extra mile and helped us prepare the fourth trimester. Margarida is someone extremely experienced and someone who is driven to learn even more, backing everything up on science. We learned a lot with Margarida but more importantly we felt heard and taken care of. Every doubt and every question we had were answered. Not only in our classes, but through WhatsApp — she was available to us 24/7. And that’s the essence of Margarida: she’ll listen to you with her heart, she’ll be with you every step of the way and she will embrace you in the most human and empathetic way as possible.”
“Margarida was the captain of my birth, she guided me and my baby safely to shore. I couldn't imagine going through it without her the moment my baby came. Her calm, professional, and encouraging words and loving energy made me feel confident and secure. A truly magical and unique experience that will always be treasured. I highly recommend Margarida as a doula and future honorary midwife! You will feel safe and empowered with a reliable friend helping you every step of the way. We love her so much and are so grateful to know her.”
“If I were to be born again, I would choose our doula TiaMati again to accompany my parents and me in this exciting beginning of life. Margarida is support, understanding, active listening without judgment, empathy, love, and a free and pure spirit with profound knowledge to help and guide couples. Thank you for teaching us that childbirth can be respected, for guiding my mother to feel strong and empowered, and for taking care of us with so much love, joy, and respect. If I were to be born again, I would choose you again as my life doula.”
“Investing in Margarida and Tiamati Pregnancy Hub was the best decision I have made for myself, my family, and my baby. When I met Margarida for the first time it felt like I had known her for years — a friend who I hadn't seen in a long time. Her understanding and advocacy plus grounding nature helped me with difficult choices and helped me plan the most amazing, empowering VBAC. Though she was not there for my birth in person, I used visualizations from her and always had her blazing smile in the back of my head. She is an asset to any birthing person and their family. Honestly 10000000000 stars and could not recommend enough.”
“Margarida — what can I say. Hiring her as my doula was the best decision I made! She has a unique skill set and her background in midwifery made her stand out as a doula. She has such good energy, incredible knowledge and really does care. It's clear that birth is her passion — we had so many questions which she could answer so comprehensively. She was attentive, kind, caring, fun, honest and loving and I couldn't recommend her enough. She helped me achieve my dream birth of having a hospital VBAC and was a brilliant birth partner. I will always be grateful to her for empowering me and supporting me to have a beautiful birth.”
“I was supported by Margarida throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum, and I can only say wonderful things about the whole experience. Margarida is an excellent professional — highly qualified and very attentive to every detail. I felt respected in all my decisions, and more than that, whenever I shared a doubt or desire, Margarida would always bring me more information on the subject. Having Margarida in my support network made my pregnancy simpler and more peaceful. I highly recommend her. When I have my next child, I already know who to turn to. Thank you, Margarida — Lucas and I are eternally grateful. 💛”
“When we found out that Marga had a format in which she could help us — not only to have more and better information for both of us, but also to focus on helping Javi feel oriented as a dad, recognize the importance of his role, and feel supported — we didn't want to miss the opportunity. We were able to dispel outdated information and strengthened as a couple facing our new challenge. Personally, I will always be grateful that she helped me with some changes that scared me, with so much love and sensitivity. Without a doubt, I would recommend any family to approach her!”
“At first, we had our doubts, but trusting Doula Tia Mati for the support of my pregnancy has been one of the best decisions. We have learned a lot thanks to her about this unknown process for us, and that has given us confidence, tranquility, and security both during the nine months and on the day of our child's birth. It has been informative support, based on her training and scientific evidence, and on the recommendations of the WHO — something we appreciated at all times and especially on the day of childbirth. I am convinced that the fact that my labour was so good and special is largely due to her.”
“Margarida has been with us since the first months of pregnancy, and her support throughout this journey was crucial in helping us feel prepared for the birth and the first weeks as new parents. Her extensive experience — both practical and theoretical — combined with her excellent communication skills and the positive energy she brings every day, was a true gift to us, especially as we knew little to nothing about pregnancy and babies. We wholeheartedly recommend Margarida to anyone who, like we did in the beginning, feels in the dark about the path from early pregnancy to childbirth.”
“We met Marga through a friend. We contacted her and shared our concerns. She suggested how many sessions we could have and what topics to cover. The sessions were very positive, always in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Marga was flexible when it came to organizing our meetings. She introduced us to all the possible options for childbirth, which helped us overcome prejudices and fears. We particularly appreciated the emphasis on the importance of the father's role throughout the process, involving him and helping him understand his role in each phase.”
“Having consultations with Margarida was the best decision we could make for our first childbirth. It doesn't matter the stage of pregnancy, it always comes in handy. She's a super professional who provides you with tranquility, explains everything in a super professional but at the same time natural way, allowing you to understand everything perfectly. Having emotional and professional support from Margarida during and after pregnancy has been the most gratifying. I would definitely seek her out again for my second baby.”
“Margarida and her great personality full of energy and good vibes have been accompanying me throughout almost all of these months. At the beginning, she answered many of my questions because she came to me when all I had were questions. Unintentionally, my appointments with her turned into a kind of therapy — someone to whom I could communicate my fears without judgment. Now, in addition, she is training to be a midwife in one of the most advanced countries in obstetrics, which will make her a super complete professional. Thank you, Marga, for appearing in my life, for being there, and for walking with me through this experience. You're the best!”
“I want to express my gratitude to Margarida. I am extremely grateful for her support during my pregnancy. She knew how to connect with me from the beginning, despite my fears due to the bad experience of my previous pregnancy. Margarida, you gave me the necessary tools to have a beautiful pregnancy, you gave me that confidence to lose my fears and to feel like an empowered woman, and you made me aware of my rights. Thank you for your positive energy, and for your advice, because you were always there when I needed you.”
“Margarida has helped me a lot, with all my doubts, the different situations, and the stages of the gestation process. I highly recommend her; her knowledge is wonderful. It's also worth mentioning that she is super kind and dedicated in her effort and work to always inform us about all the possibilities we have for each situation we encounter during pregnancy and let us choose the most suitable one for us and our baby. I lost a great deal of fear of this process thanks to her unconditional support and help. Thank you very much for this great work and love for what you do.”
“I had the great fortune of having Margarida's fresh support during my first pregnancy. She was available to us at all times, assisting us with all the doubts that arose — at first framing all those new sensations for me, then helping us find resources and prepare the birth plan. We also shared the photo of my painted belly, a very important moment for me. Having her presence and joy was a gift for me and, no less important, for my partner. Because sometimes it's forgotten, or even underestimated, the role of the man — and it's essential in the process. This is something that Margarida knows well.”
“A friend had the amazing gesture of gifting me a session with Tiamati. I took the opportunity to ask about everything related to childbirth because what better way to learn than from someone experienced in supporting other women? I couldn't be happier, as she clarified my doubts and gave me a sense of confidence, which is so important in something that can cause a lot of fear and anxiety. I have to say that I spent my last weeks of pregnancy feeling very calm, and my birth experience was quite similar to my expectations — smooth and without complications — largely thanks to her help.”
