"Envision your birth the way you want it to unfold."
I’m here to support all pregnant women, no matter how you envision your birth—whether that’s naturally, with a cesarean, or through a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). I work with families in homes, birth centers, or hospitals around Berlin, Germany. As your birth doula I offer steady emotional support and physical comfort throughout your labor. I’ll also provide information so you can make informed choices along the way. Studies show that having a doula can lower the chances of interventions, inductions, and the need for pain medication.

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 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 parenthood 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 ability to maintain a healthy and happy life.
