Birthwork is what I do with great passion and love, with full attention and sincerity.
Every guidance is different because everyone is unique and has different wishes and needs. For the guidance, we first have a personal conversation so I can tailor the support to your needs.

I help you prepare fully for birth. The focus is primarily on strengthening trust in yourself. The more knowledge you have about the process, the more you can connect with your own body and intuition—and the more confidence you’ll gain.
This leads to letting go with full trust, allowing you to birth as relaxed and smoothly as possible.

In my guidance, I prioritize your comfort—you and your baby come first. Of course, I also support the partner. I regularly check in on how they’re feeling and if I can assist them.
Additionally, I work mindfully, observing without judgment. Hypnobirthing elements are woven into my approach, so you as the birthing person can learn to relax deeply (the most critical factor during labor).
What I’ll remind you of is this: how powerful you are as a pregnant and birthing woman. I’m here for holistic support, but the strength comes from you.

This is what I offer:

Guidance to prepare for childbirth (without being present at the birth).
* Full support during pregnancy and labor.
* Present from the onset of labor.
* Lotus aftercare (care for the placenta).
* Placenta print (using paint on paper).
* Baby mobile made of wool for the nursery.
