Hi, my name is Eiko. I'm a birth and postpartum doula, specialized in taking care of newborns and infants. I’m capable of taking care of babies as soon as they are born. I'm a mother of five children from 12 to 25 years old. I've been serving the international community in Tokyo area over three years. I speak English and Japanese. I have experience giving birth and raising children in both Japan and the United States.
What I enjoy doing with children are singing action songs, making craft and origami, baking, and cooking. I find singing nursery rhymes to babyes help them relax and stay clam. Therefore, I decided to learn "Warabeuta (nursery rhymes) Baby Massage".
Sewing while listening to my favtite music or being nature is my way to release myself from stress. I'm into Sashiko stitching, traditional Japanese embroidery. I like learning craft skills and outdoor or camping hacks. I would like to share my experience with your children to learn to enjoy nature and making things.
My passion is to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to families to help them raise their children as comfortable as possible.
