Loving Hands by Rotem Levanon. Birth & Postpartum Doula Care.

Calm, Compassionate Birth & Postpartum Doula Care in Dublin. Supporting expectant parents through birth and creating an environment for you to rest, heal, and bond during the fourth trimester.

We live in a world full of quick fixes and constant advice, but becoming a parent isn’t something that can be rushed. It’s a slow, sacred transition that unfolds one day at a time, and it’s not meant to be done alone.

Loving Hands is about bringing that sense of community back. I offer both practical and emotional support for first-time parents and growing families, from birth and all the way through your baby’s first few months.

Every family is unique, with different schedules and needs. That’s why the support I provide is tailored to meet your needs, created with your specific situation, preferences, and comfort in mind.

  • "Rotem was a rock for us when our twins arrived early and we had no family locally to help. We had a really relaxed first meeting where we agreed how she could best support us, and agreed an approach tailored to our situation. For us, that was helping me get some extra time through the day - for sleep, errands or exercise, while I was otherwise feeding around the clock. I (and the babies) felt completely at ease in her company and it was great to have someone with years of childcare experience to chat through challenges with."

    Sophie, Donabate

  • "Rotem helped us the first few weeks with our newborn. She is amazing! She really made this entire period (which can be a bit chaotic) very peaceful. Rotem cooked for us, reassured us, helped us so much learning our new roles and took great care of the little one so we could have breaks "

  • "Rotem is like a real-life version of Mary Poppins. She brought a sense of calm and magic into our home, moved around gently and intuitively, identifying all my needs without my having to say a word. As soon as she arrived, something in me relaxed. I could finally breathe and tune in to my own needs, which had gone unmet for a long time since the birth. Everything she did was carried out with sensitivity, tenderness, and a deep understanding of what was required in every single moment. She made sure I was hydrated and fed, cooked for our family (the most delicious bolognese I’ve ever tasted!!), bathed the baby, changed his nappies, soothed him, and above all looked at both the baby and me with love and care that gave me confidence from the very first moment. "

    Roni, Dublin

  • "The doula support I received from Rotem upon returning home from hospital after giving birth was invaluable and one of the best decisions I've ever made. Her thoughtfulness and kindness was invaluable at a time that some extra support is so important. The food she prepared, the extra lengths she went to to make me feel comfortable and supported made all the difference in making my postpartum experience a really happy, positive one. I'm so grateful to her and would highly recommend to anyone after giving birth as a hugely beneficial and great decision."

    Hazel, Monkstown

  • "Rotem was indispensable when my surprise 4th baby arrived. It was all hands on deck in my house at the time and Rotem was like an older sister when she came to care for my baby. She was invested in the care of my son and so natural and nurturing. She has equal measures of warmth and kindness and somehow at the same time was practical and so helpful. I couldn’t recommend Rotem enough. Her future clients (both babies & Mamas) will be in such good hands."

    Caroline, Malahide

  • "Rotem was a huge support in our first few nights and days as first-time parents. She gave us the emotional support and the knowledge we needed to wrap our hands around our new status. Her reassuring and calming nature helped ease our anxieties and we felt comfortable leaving our daughter in her care while we were able get a few hours rest."

    Zohar, Donabate

  • "I was really lucky to experience Rotem’s undivided attention and care firsthand when she supported me through recovery after an operation. Rotem has a gift for knowing exactly what you need and how to support you in a way that reminds you of mornings off school at home with your own mum’s gentle care. She has the most unbelievable base of knowledge and can provide insight and perspective to any problem or concern, honestly I think she’s so much more than a carer.. and to be able to benefit from her life experience, empathy and knowledge is one thing, then add in the fact that she’s an amazing baker and cook, she really is the most complete package and I would love to have a baby again just to get to experience her support in those early days when the care we need just isn’t available in modern society."

    Linda, Malahide

  • "There just aren't enough positive words I can use to sum up the difference Rotem has made to my postpartum experience. I just wish I'd had her the first time around! She supported us from the very first day in hospital through the first 7 weeks and I felt so taken care of, especially in the wobbliest and most tiring moments. She took such great care with not only my newborn but also my elder daughter, who would ask every day if Rotem was coming! From our very first call, I really appreciated her balance of compassion and pragmatism. Thank you Rotem from the bottom of my heart, you have really made a difference to our family"

    Victoria, Malahide

Nice to meet you

My name is Rotem Levanon, I'm a birth doula and postpartum doula right here, next to you. As a mother of 2, I have experienced the real impact that the right type of care can have on parenthood. My first birth didn’t go the way I planned, but the care and love I got from my village of family and friends made my postpartum period so blissful and nurturing.

When my second child was about to come, I made the choice to hire a birth doula and I got to experience the birth that I was dreaming of.

My own story, and my forever interest in pregnancies, birth and newborns, led me to become a doula myself in 2020.

I offer gentle, practical, and emotional support for both parents and babies, from birth preparation and labour through to your baby's first year. Together, we build a nurturing environment for learning, exploration, and strength, wherever you are on your parenting journey.
