PREGNANCY
​
I am passionate about building a trusting connection with you, where we feel comfortable and safe and you are free to express yourself.
Pregnancy is a time of physical and emotional growth. The time when you and the new soul in your womb grow into a mother and child who are fully ready for birth.
As a doula, I support you in strengthening your intuitive voice, living instinctively, nurturing your pregnancy on all levels, gaining clarity about what you really want, and taking the necessary steps to create the optimal conditions for a natural birth, preparing you for your birth.
Here are some questions to inspire you:
-
How can I deeply nourish myself and my baby on a physical, emotional and spiritual level and thereby support my pregnancy in the best possible way?
-
Which issues may still be transformed before the birth?
-
How can I live more intuitively and trust the signs of my body? Can I distinguish fear from the voice of intuition?
-
Which wisdoms of nature can guide me on my path?
-
How can I set healthy boundaries and stand up for myself?
-
What do I want for my birth? And how can we create the best possible conditions for it? (The same goes for pregnancy and postpartum).
-
Which tests are good for us, which are not? How do I make self-determined decisions that I can fully stand by?
When?
Ideally, our journey together begins in the first weeks of your pregnancy. But you are also welcome to bring me in later. If you are already close to birth, we can discuss the possibilities individually.
It is important to me that I can support you deeply and comprehensively.
For this reason I will be happy to dedicate a lot of time to you.
We will meet ±8 times throughout the pregnancy for 2 hour sessions in person or via video call.This information is intended as an approximate reference point. How often and how long we will spend time together depends on your individual needs. Learn more about my approach here.
BIRTH
​
Birth gives you the opportunity to embody the earthy mother goddess in you, who with her strength, courage, curiosity and love, shows you the way behind the veil. Into the magical world of birth, where space and time shift. And you, letting go of everything, find your threshold. The threshold where you say goodbye to your old self and welcome your new self.
In which way I will accompany your birth, we will envision and plan together during your pregnancy. Generally I am on call in the time around the expected birth and personally present during your birth, in the way you need it.I can be with you as a guardian of the birth ceremony and give you support or sit outside, drink tea and await. If you live far away from me, we will find an individual solution that you feel comfortable with.
POSTPARTUM
Postpartum is the time of arrival after the sudden change. You and your baby are experiencing everything for the first time. You find yourselves in a place you've never been before. If you ask me, lots of skin-to-skin contact, cuddling days together in bed, rest and slowness in a protected safe nest, are the most important components for the postpartum.
In this atmosphere you can get to know and connect as a family, the milk can get flowing and the birth story can be processed. It is a magical and irreplaceable time in which you can receive as much practical support and emotional guidance as you need.
Examples of my postpartum support:
-
Support with practical concerns such as breastfeeding, nutrition, cloth diapers, "EC", babywearing, co-sleeping, newborn questions,...
-
Processing and weaving your birth story
-
Regenerative womb massages
-
Placenta blessings
-
Bonding bath
-
Healing steam baths
-
Various women's wisdom for the new mother
-
"Closing of the Bones" Ceremony
From the first day after birth I am there for you as often as is needed.
We can meet ±5 times for 2 hour sessions in person or via video call to look at specific topics. This information is intended as an approximate reference point. How often and how long we will spend time together depends on your individual needs. Learn more about my approach here.
FIRST MONTHS
The journey goes beyond the postpartum. As the birth-labyrinth shows us, pregnancy is the way to the center, birth is the center itself, and postpartum represents the first steps of the return. Following this, the months after birth are the way back to everyday life. You are no longer who you were when the journey began. New roles, new needs, new desires and new values form a new reality for you as a family. And it is quite normal if the complete arrival in the new life takes several years.
​
​
I offer you to maintain my support during the first year of your child's life, as a constant rock in the waves. Whenever questions, uncertainties or challenges arise, you can contact me. I offer a listening ear, I can see you, and I can help light the way to the answers within yourself.
