Certified Doula · Hypnobirthing Instructor · Lactation Consultant · Founder of Materna
Ibiza Bolonini has spent years sitting beside mothers at the most significant moments of their lives — in birth rooms, in postpartum recovery, in those quiet 3am moments when anxiety creeps in and answers feel far away. As a certified doula, hypnobirthing instructor, and lactation consultant, she has guided hundreds of women through pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester.
She kept noticing the same thing. Brilliant, capable women arriving underprepared — not because they had not tried, but because genuinely expert guidance was hard to find, expensive to access, and never available at 2am when it was most needed. Ibiza had the knowledge. What she needed was a way to make it available to every woman, at every hour, in every language. And she saw that the need for expert guidance often began even before pregnancy — in the months of preparation, anticipation, and sometimes anxiety that come before a positive test.
Materna is that answer. Built on Ibiza's real-world expertise, her years of client conversations, her course materials, and her deep belief that every mother deserves the same quality of guidance regardless of where she lives or what time it is.
Dr. Pedro is a practising paediatrician who joined Materna as Medical Director to extend the platform's expert guidance through the first year of a child's life. His clinical expertise covers newborn health, development milestones, feeding, sleep safety, and vaccinations.
Every response the platform gives is rooted in Ibiza's real clinical experience and Pedro's medical knowledge — not generic internet content.
Pregnancy and motherhood do not follow office hours. Materna is available at any hour in English, Portuguese, and Arabic.
Materna provides doula-informed guidance and paediatric support. For clinical medical questions it always directs you to your doctor or midwife. We know our role and we stay within it.
