About me

Who I am

Blanca Francés Matrona — Who I amBilingual (English/Spanish)

Hi, I'm Blanca Francés. A midwife specialised in the holistic care of mother and newborn. For more than 15 years I have had the privilege of accompanying women and families through one of the most important moments of their lives: the birth of a baby and the birth of a mother.

My vision

Close, evidence-based care

My way of working combines scientific evidence, clinical experience and a deeply human view of motherhood.

I believe in close, respectful and individualised care, where every woman can feel heard, informed and supported in her decisions, so she can live this stage with awareness, calm and scientific rigour.

My experience

More than 15 years crossing borders

Blanca Francés Matrona — More than 15 years crossing borders

My career as a midwife has been forged in diversity and absolute respect for the body's own timing. I have had the privilege of accompanying hundreds of families in all kinds of settings: from the intensity of traditional hospital labour wards and the intimate atmosphere of birth centres to the magic of planned home births.

A large part of my professional vision was consolidated in London, where I worked for more than 8 years. There I was part of the community midwifery teams of the British system, a care model based on continuity of care. This wonderful experience allowed me to support women and their families integrally, from the first pregnancy appointment, through the day of birth, to close postpartum follow-up in the warmth of their own home.

To offer truly integral care, I have combined the latest evidence-based care with body and emotional tools that cover all the needs of the mother-baby dyad:

  • Body and mind preparation: Yoga and Pilates instructor specialised for pregnant women, and Hypnobirthing facilitator.
  • Specialised newborn care: Certified specialist in neurobehavioural and physiological newborn assessment, expert in infant massage and trained in advanced neonatal resuscitation.
  • Breastfeeding and nutrition: Specialised breastfeeding advisor and integral approach to tongue-tie (short sublingual frenulum).

Training and specialisation

Science, wellbeing and holistic expertise

  • Certified specialist in neurobehavioural and physiological newborn assessment.

From the heart

I am also a mother

Blanca Francés Matrona — I am also a mother

Beyond my profession, I'm the mother of two children who have transformed my life. Motherhood has allowed me to understand from within many of the emotions, doubts and challenges that come with this stage.

I have lived completely opposite experiences: with my first child I had an intimate and respected home birth; with my second, I faced an emergency caesarean and the birth of a premature baby.

I have also lived through worry and anxiety during pregnancy. I know exactly what a difficult and painful breastfeeding journey is. I know first-hand the exhaustion of sleepless nights and I have felt the deep loneliness that sometimes invades us during postpartum, which is so rarely talked about.

These experiences have taught me that there is no perfect motherhood. There is real motherhood. Despite the shadows, I wouldn't trade the experience of being a mother for anything in the world. And precisely because I have walked that path both as a mother and as a midwife, I can accompany you with experience, empathy and respect.

My philosophy

Support built on trust

My goal is for every woman and every family to feel safe, accompanied and the protagonists of their own experience.

I want to help you live pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenting with quality information, professional support and the peace of mind of knowing you are not alone.

Because motherhood should not be lived from fear or uncertainty, but from confidence, knowledge and companionship.

Shall we walk together?

A space for you and your family

Motherhood and fatherhood don't have to be travelled blindly or alone. I'm here to offer you an exclusive, personalised and unhurried consultation space, designed to give you back confidence in yourself and in the wisdom of your body.

I want to accompany you and your partner to transform uncertainty into confidence, making sure that every decision you make is born from information and love.
