About Me – Aneliya Stoycheva, Midwife
Hello dear expecting mothers and fathers,
My name is Aneliya Stoycheva – a midwife by profession and by calling, a prenatal educator, and the founder of the parenting school “Misia Mama”.
My journey into midwifery began more than 28 years ago with the birth of my own daughter. It was the most beautiful moment in my life, but also a time filled with many questions, worries, and uncertainty. That is when I realized how important it is for future parents to be prepared and supported even before their baby is born.
In that moment, I made a decision that changed my life – that one day I would become the person who helps other mothers and families go through this period with more calmness and confidence.
In 2005, I graduated in Midwifery from the Medical College “Yordanka Filaretova” in Sofia. For many years, I worked at Sheynovo Hospital, where I had the privilege of assisting in the birth of many babies and gaining valuable practical experience in departments such as high-risk pregnancy, neonatology, prenatal care, and the maternity ward.
My work in the hospital once again showed me how essential preparation before birth truly is. If we expect a woman to learn what is needed from her only in the delivery room, it is already too late. A prepared mother is calmer, more confident, and goes through birth with greater strength and trust in herself.
This is how “Misia Mama” was born – a space for knowledge, support, and peace for expecting parents.
In my school, I work individually with each family or couple, because I believe that personal attention and practical preparation lead to the best results. My courses combine proven knowledge and hands-on practice- tools that truly help during pregnancy, birth, and the first months with a baby.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to learn from internationally recognized midwives such as Mary Schwartz (Netherlands), Lina Clerck (UK), and Uva Meiner (Costa Rica), whose knowledge and practices I integrate into my work.
Over time, a strong and supportive parenting community has grown around “Misia Mama”. Today, our Facebook page brings together over 15,000 parents, and hundreds of families have completed the courses, sharing more than 140 positive reviews – something I am truly proud of.
Many well-known public figures and families have also trusted my work, seeking calm, professional care, and discretion in their preparation for birth.
Alongside the in-person courses, a strong online support community has also developed.

My mission is to support mothers and families throughout this beautiful journey
from a calm and healthy pregnancy,
through a confident and empowering birth,
to the first embrace with their newborn and the first confident steps into parenthood.
It brings me great joy to see the families I work with feel calm and confident in caring for their babies.
Thank you to all parents for your trust!
Birth is a powerful and sacred experience – do not be afraid of it.
Prepare yourself, discover your inner strength, and turn it into one of the most beautiful moments of your life.
With care and heart,
Aneliya Stoycheva
