As a  full spectrum doula (birth, postpartum, conception, miscarriage, abortion, and adoption) and photographer I work with expecting parents throughout all of Berlin to support them through their pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum journeys. Through many trainings I have accumulated an education that I feel best serves the families I work with and my personal interests to create a solid foundation in working with a large variety of pregnancies outcomes and birthing needs.

I’m an Irish-American who has lived here in Berlin for the past seven years. I’ve been working in childcare, learning German, running a small community arts space, and working in the field of reproductive justice. I have a strong passion for gardening and spending my free time with my endless craft projects. Throughout the last four years I’ve been supporting families as a doula and have also volunteered with pregnant refugee women to attempt to help their arrival and pregnancies in Berlin be as comfortable for them and their families.  I also run a monthly queer family building meet-up group to discuss topics around trying to conceive, pregnancy, and parenting.

I believe that every pregnant person should have the support and encouragement to engage and decide on what is best for their pregnancy and birth. I would be delighted to be a part of this journey with you.
