Personalised support from an independent English-speaking midwife, from pregnancy through the first weeks with your baby.

Whether you’re expecting in Modena or living somewhere else in Italy, you deserve support that feels calm, personal, and truly centred on you.

I offer in-person care for families in the Modena area and online guidance for parents across the country.
No matter where you are, you don’t have to navigate pregnancy, birth, or the early postpartum days alone.

Why Accanto?

Accanto means “beside” or “by your side” in Italian.

​

I chose this name because that is how I want to be as your midwife: beside you throughout pregnancy, birth preparation and the first weeks with your baby, offering both personal care and support when you need it.

Nina and Filip (Serbia)

As a very young couple, and we don't mean by age (we met just a few months before the pregnancy), we went through a lot in a very short period. It was, and still is, an amazing experience which we enjoy a lot as days go by, but besides our families and their support, the support we got from you was in some ways even more important to us.

In such an overwhelming situation, we had you as "our person" who is not a family member, nor a long known friend, but someone who was there for us to offer knowledge, support, a smile and positive vibes... all that in order to teach us how to welcome Chloe in the best way we can, not only in sense of medical care, breastfeeding, changing, bathing... but also as a mom and dad, as a couple, and more importantly, how to take care of each other in that process. Everything you taught us was precious, but one of the things that definitely stood out for us was your non judgemental and open minded approach. Your care was tailored to our needs, our situation and approach to pregnancy. Before giving any advice, you always asked what was what we needed and wanted for us and Chloe. This was huge for us because we were still learning what we want and need as a couple, so you helped us think through that.

Thank you once again for all the knowledge you shared with us and all the support you provieded. You played a crucial role in our rollercoaster ride. Something like a safety belt :-).
