My main professional focus is labour and birth care. I offer home birth attendance and work in the team of the birth centre "Geburtshaus Maja".
The care for couples who are planning a home birth usually comes in a package with support through pregnancy, the postnatal phase and breastfeeding.
I make use of millenary oriental wisdom, mainly, but not only, of Traditional Chinese Medicine with acupuncture and similar techniques.
I have studied midwifery in Cambridge, Uk. As the academic that I am, I care about well-done research and keep practice updated according to the best available evidence.
For home birth I cover most of the central parts of Berlin. My post-natal region, however, is more restricted to Prenzlauer Berg, Wedding, Mitte, Pankow, Weißensee, and parts of Friedrichshain.
I love learning new languages. The benefit of that is that I am currently attending in any of these languages: Deutsch, English, Español, Português, et Français.
The Berlin rule of thumb for everybody pregnant: Contact your midwife as soon as you know you'll need one! As most midwives, I'm planning my capacities six months or more ahead of time. I'll try to keep this section updated, if spots become available on shorter notice.
Please leave me a message via the contact form or per message on my phone. Number below.
Looking for a midwife for after your hospital birth?
For capacity reasons I often cannot attend women/ couples for ante- and postnatal care only!! I’m very sorry! I appreciate how difficult it is in Berlin to find a midwife. As fewer and fewer midwives actually offer labour and birth care, my caseload generally fills up with people who plan to birth their child in an out-of-hospital setting.
I offer the usual range of midwifery services. Most midwives, I think, have one or more specialities in the alternative spectrum of medicine or bodywork. So have I.
All basic midwifery services are usually covered by the public health insurance plan. Private insurances are meant to pay all basic maternity services as well. It might be helpful to ask, what exactly is covered.
Offers which are slightly more on the alternative side of the spectrum might have to be covered privately. Please ask, so we can discuss it.
the cosiest way to give birth. Evidence-based, gentle care in your own environment.
is something that I currently don't offer.
with birth preparation and prenatal check-ups
with breastfeeding support.
In my case, this is usually not a lone-standing service, but part of a package together with pregancy and labour care.
through chinese medicine with acupuncture and similar techniques, phytotherapy, basic homeopathy and aroma therapy.
I'm a certified Sexolocial Bodyworker since 2021 and I think this somatic approach is fantastic to accompany all transformational processes around body identity, birth experiences, trauma and everything related to sexuality in the broadest and narrowest sense. Find out more here! Sorry, so far German-only...
I am currently not planning any classes, such as antenatal birth preparation classes or postnatal exercises. I’m happy to hold a course in Portuguese, Spanish or English again on request, if several women or couples group up to a sufficient number of participants. Get in touch!
I love Argentine Tango, nature and culture, or better said: cultural diversity…
The fascination about pregnancy, birth and everything around it hit me still during my first studies of Social Anthropology and Education Sciences when I was traveling in the Global South (Latin America, East Africa, South East Asia).
It was more a calling than a conscious decision to become a midwife. It still took a while until I followed the call to study the most beautiful of all professions in Cambridge, UK. (In the meantime I worked in editorial management in Global Health and facilitated trainings for young people going for work experiences abroad.)
In England, midwifery is an academic subject, which influences my professional practice a great deal. Evidence-informed practice is an important aspect of how I work and plan the meetings. I combine this with the art of midwifery (German: “die Hebammenkunst”) and a holistic approach to the process of becoming parents, including all the emotional, psychological, social and medical implications.
It’s not only the woman and her baby who I attend, but the whole family… no matter how patchwork-y or queer this family is.
Planning a home birth allows us to hold the balance between homely cosiness, the feeling of safety in your own environment, a holistic and mindful care approach to you and your family and an autonomous birth. Almost the same applies for births in the Geburtshaus Maja, a very beautiful place which is comfortably set up in the best way for your labour and the arrival of your baby.
Because I concentrate on women and couples who are planning a home birth or birth centre birth with me, I’m sorry to say that I often don’t manage to look after women and families who are planning a hospital birth and look for post-natal midwifery services mainly.
