I work with all pregnant and birthing people, those planning a natural, cesarean or VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) delivery, whether it be in your home, birth centre or hospital. Based in Berlin Germany. The role of a birth doula is to support you continuously throughout labour with emotional stability and physical comfort; giving information so you can make informed decisions. Having a doula present helps to lower the risk of interventions, inductions and less need for pain relief. As well as making your partner more at ease which will bring a calmness in the room.

The 'fourth trimester' can sometimes leave a woman feeling quite emotional, weepy, overwhelmed, fatigued and maybe even anxious. Placenta capsules or consuming your placenta isn't a new thing its far from a new concept. This can be a natural way to ease this hormonal let-down and support the transition into the postpartum for new mothers. The placenta has been used traditionally for thousands of years for its abundance of positive postnatal effects. A woman can lose up to 18% of her iron stores after giving birth.

Postpartum doulas are there to nurture the family and support mothers during this great time of change. They are mentors who answer your questions and provides much needed assurance in a gentle, non-judgmental way, allowing you to develop your own unique parenting style that suits you. After baby arrives transitioning into motherhood is eased by continuous support.
Hiring a night time doula is one of the ways parents can get some rest at night and be able to continue with the other commitments the next day. Sleeplessness is an inevitable part of caring for a baby and a night time doula’s main job is to spend the night to give the parent a chance to rest. The doula handles the baby’s night time feedings regardless of bottle fed or breastfeeding, soothes the baby to sleep and tends to its needs. Getting some extra sleep can go a long way in the mother’s ability to maintain a healthy and happy life.
