Anne | Geborgen Geboren
Clinical Birth Doula & Postpartum Doula

Every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, safe and supported throughout pregnancy and birth. To make her own choices with confidence, while feeling connected to her body and the people around her.

My name is Anne, and I am the founder of Geborgen Geboren, which means "Born in Safety and Comfort". As a clinical birth doula and postpartum doula, I support women and their partners with warmth, knowledge, calmness and genuine care.

Before entering the world of birth work, I spent many years working in mental health care and law enforcement. During those years, I witnessed people in deeply vulnerable situations and learned how profoundly it matters to feel safe, understood and supported.These experiences are at the heart of my work as a doula.

My approach goes beyond preparing for birth. I help you understand your body, how your nervous system responds to stress, and how breathing, movement and positioning can support you during labour. I integrate body-based techniques, Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) and practices that encourage relaxation, connection and confidence.

I also actively involve your birth partner, because preparing together creates a stronger foundation of trust and support.

Whether you give birth at home, in hospital, or your birth takes an unexpected turn, I am there beside you. Offering continuous emotional support, respecting your wishes and working collaboratively with midwives and other healthcare professionals.

I believe that medical safety and emotional safety are equally important and strengthen one another.

Above all, my wish is for every woman to experience birth feeling safe, seen and supported. A birth where there is room for her wishes, her vulnerability and her strength. And where, regardless of how her birth unfolds, she can look back feeling respected, cared for and held.

Safe, supported and gently welcomed into the world.
Preparing with knowledge. Giving birth with confidence.
