I’m Chiara Virgillito, the heart behind HeyBirthingMama—a mother of three girls, midwife, hypnobirthing educator, International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), pregnancy yoga teacher and Caesarean section scar specialist. I’m passionate about guiding women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with care that empowers, uplifts, and connects.

I live and work in Dublin, Ireland, and for over 11 years I have supported families as a practicing midwife within a tertiary maternity hospital — a role I continue to work in today. Alongside my clinical practice, I have created a space where women and families are truly at the centre of care, offering compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual journey.

I work with clients through consultations in my Glasnevin clinic, home visits, and online sessions, ensuring families can access care in a way that feels personal, accessible, and empowering.
