A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labour, and birth. In Berlin, I guide parents through preparation, relaxation techniques, and advocacy, helping families feel confident and supported every step of the way.

2. How can a doula support me after birth?

Postpartum doulas assist with newborn care, breastfeeding guidance, and emotional support during the first weeks after birth. This helps new parents adjust, rest, and build confidence while nurturing their baby.

3. Do babies really need sleep training?

Babies cannot self-soothe - they need us to be their external nervous system. I believe that sleep training goes against what’s biologically normal for babies and puts them under too much stress. I provide gentle, neuroscience-based sleep support in Berlin, helping parents recognize sleep cues, respect their babies’ needs, and create routines that suit their family without any sleep training methods.
