What's a doula and how does a doula contribute to better birth outcomes? Why hire a doula in Berlin?


A doula is a trained professional that provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a person/family who is expecting, experiencing labor, or has recently given birth.


Numerous studies have documented the benefits of having a doula present during labor. They proved how having a doula decreases:

āœ” the overall cesarean rate by 50%

āœ” length of labor by 25%

āœ” requests for an epidural by 60%...


As a trained doula, I will support you to have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience.

Your doula is independent, she will give your empowering informatio that are unbiased, based on facts and evidence. She will help you make the choices that feel right for you.

A doula is not the same as a midwife: but she will collaborate with your midwife for a positive pregnancy, birth, postpartum experience.
