Birthwork
The journey through pregnancy and birth into postpartum is one of the most significant experiences in a person's life. As a doula, I have the honor of walking alongside you during this transformative time, providing continuous and unwavering support and compassion. I provide the foundation for a sacred space, where you as an expectant parent can be heard, seen and supported each step of the way.
My hope is for you to feel confident and safe to make informed decisions that align with your values as you embark on your journey into parenthood. The road can seem both beautiful and challenging, and I am here to offer a listening ear, a steady hand and a warm heart to help you navigate through the twists and turns.
My approach is somatic and holistic in the sense that we include the body as a central aspect of the journey and your being. By gently cultivating a greater connectedness to our body, we simultaneously strengthen our connection to the innate intelligence and abilities to process, discern, integrate, yield and self-regulate our bodymindsystems. Through somatic practices, we not only allow space for an unwinding and integration of what is stored within, but also practice growing our skills and capacity to meet whatever life throws our way.
I’m not here to fix you, but rather to guide, support and hold space for your journey as you embark on this transformative journey - reclaiming the capacity to stand rooted in your authority.
As a doula I offer different set-ups for support during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum - see more below
I always offer a free, non-binding introductory call if you are curious to hear more
If you are challenged financially, you are always more than welcome to reach out and we’ll see if we can find a support model that can work for the both of us. Everyone should have access to support during pregnancy, birth and postpartum - regardless of financial situation

When we feel safe, seen, heard and supported, we have the capacity to stand firmly in our own autonomy, to make decisions that feel true and aligned for us (however that looks) and to meet the fluctuations of the journey from a point of trust, confidence and connection to yourself.
As your Doula, I am here as a continuous support and companionship on your journey through pregnancy and birth into postpartum, so you can meet the process feeling safe, supported and empowered.
I offer different sessions and models of support for your process, and you are always welcome to reach out for a free introductory phone call - no strings attached

As your Doula, my focus is to support you through your journey and in your choices. Initially, we will get to know each other and our meetings will be planned and adjusted to meet you and your needs at that time. No two people are alike and the same goes for the process of pregnancy, birth and parenthood. Therefore, we create an overall frame that suits you and adjust the themes, topics and content of our sessions to your needs as your process unfolds.
During our sessions, we can/will cover topics such as:
Individual and tailor-made birth preparation for you and potentially a partner/co-parent/birthhelper
Introduction to the physiology of childbirth
Knowledge of the functioning of our nervous system and the hormones at play
Support for informed decision making and navigating the world of pregnancy and birth
Creating a birth plan
Digesting and settling previous pregnancy-/birth experiences and narratives
How your partner/birthhelper can support you mentally and physically
Preparing for the fourth trimester and settling into parenthood
Somatic movement, yoga therapy and mindful practices for pregnancy, birth and postpartum
Breath, visualization and meditation during pregnancy and birth
Rebozo, acupressure and approaches to help regulate the nervous system

Single session: birth preparation (2 hours)
This session can either be for yourself or with a partner or birth-helper. The session is an open space for whatever you feel the need to discuss, reflect, understand or have support for. It can be creating a birth plan, understanding certain aspects of the physiological process of pregnancy and/or birth, what might be important for you during your birth, how to set yourself up for the initial postpartum period or something completely else.
If you are having this session together with a partner or someone who will be supporting you during your birth, another option can be to focus on how the birth-helper might best support you during the process - both physically, practically, mentally and emotionally. We can work with practices such as rebozo, acupressure and techniques for nervous system regulation to provide more concrete approaches to support during birth.
Price: 1100 DKK (2 hr)
Brief session: 600 DKK (60 minutes)

single session: digesting your birth experience (2 hours)
For you who have given birth and feel a call to understand, reflect on and give space to unfolding the process of your pregnancy and birth journey. This process is a transformation of dimensions and your experience deserves to be heard, digested and integrated in a way that feels constructive, helpful and supporting for your next chapter as a parent. I am here to listen, to offer a helping hand for grasping what unfolded and perhaps bring a fresh perspective to your experience, emotions, impressions and perception.
This session can be simply for you or together with a partner and you can reach out regardless of how recent or far away your birth experience was. No deadline, no rush.
Prices: 1000 DKK (2 hr)

“A woman’s [person’s] birth experience is not something that just happens to her and then it’s over. A woman’s birth experience is about who she is, it’s about who she becomes, it defines her, it unmakes her, and it re-makes her, it unravels her, and it puts her together again”
