From Nastja to Moja Babica

I am a midwife dedicated with all my heart, soul, and body. My life’s mission is to support women and families during the perinatal period, raise awareness about women’s health, and change the culture of childbirth in our country. For me, midwifery is not just a career path; it’s my way of life.

I often hear that people know me by the name Moja Babica. I am Nastja, and I am a midwife. These are my two intertwined identities, and often I don’t even know where one ends and the other begins.

Nastja Pavel – Moja Babica. Given that you’re browsing my page, perhaps I’m your midwife too.

I offer women and couples more

As a certified midwife and Master of Nursing Science, I offer you more than just professionalism. My preparations for childbirth and parenthood encompass more than just learned information. I impart to you knowledge, I share with you years of experience working in a maternity hospital, and an important aspect is also the approach, which is compassionate, personal, and at the same time professionally sound. That’s why in 2017, I started conducting childbirth and parenthood preparation courses based on professional knowledge, midwifery intuition, and deep respect for every family. I believe in informed choice. I believe in the power of knowledge. Childbirth preparation is not just about informing about birth, but primarily an opportunity for a deeper understanding of oneself, one’s body, relationships, and the transition into a new life role. Childbirth is important, but even more important is how a woman feels in her own skin – during pregnancy, during childbirth, and afterward.

“A small circle of great people”

2020 was a pivotal year for me in many ways. And this gave fresh wind to the sails of Moja Babica.

Moja Babica is not just me; I have around me, as Massimo would sing: “a small circle of great people”,
who have been with me since before I was Moja Babica. I also have a star in the sky.
