Pregnancy and Birth Doula
After working with dozens of families in Berlin, I have gathered a wide variety of tools to support all types of birth experiences, including: home births, hospital births, birth centers, c-sections, inductions and vaginal delivery.
Specializing in caring for each person individually, I can offer a variety of wellness methods to incorporate into your prenatal plan and birth vision, including: breathing and mindfulness practices, stretches and various positioning, and massage. all of my techniques and practices in pregnancy and labor are available for you to use what feels right for you in your birth experience.
