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.

As a registered midwife and IBCLC, some appointments may be eligible for reimbursement through your health insurance, depending on your individual policy and level of cover. Please check directly with your insurer before booking.
