Soffía Bæringsdóttir

I live and work in Reykjavík, Iceland. I am married to Helgi and we have 3 daughters and a sweet dog.

​

My passion for doula work began in 2006 but I took my time and began working as a doula in 2008. I've been a doula trainer since 2012.

​

My mission has always been to empower women and families. Fascinated by the parent-infant interaction, I began my journey into parent-infant psychotherapy as well as couples therapy in 2018. This has highly impacted my doula work and vice versa. I feel every day in my therapy work how vital my doula perspective is.

​

I am a Hypnobirthing instructor and have training in Yoga Nidra. I have CBE- certification as well.

​

In Iceland, I offer courses on regular basis to pregnant parents to be, one on preparing for parenthood and the other on comfort measures.

In 2017 I started my own doula training that has been growing and improving ever since and I am a proud founding member of our Doula Association. I am also very honoured to be the Chair-woman of The Icelandic Family Therapy Association.

I am deeply thankful for the trust women have given me through the years and know nothing more wonderful than to spend time with like-minded women.
