Birthwork
The journey through pregnancy and birth into postpartum is one of the most significant experiences in a person's life. My hope is for you to feel confident, capable and supported in making informed decisions that align with your values and innate knowing as you embark on your journey into parenthood.
As a Doula, I walk alongside you along that journey as a continuous support. 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 approach is somatic and holistic in the sense that we work from the foundation of our bodies 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 the fluctuations that life throws our way.
I’m not here to fix you, but rather to support, witness 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

When we feel safe, seen, heard and supported, we have the capacity to stand firmly in our autonomy and agency, 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.
I am here as a continuous support on your journey through pregnancy and birth into postpartum.
-
My focus is to support you in the process of navigating the wide array of options and choices. Your body knows the way - I’m here to help you reconnect to that knowing, building the capacity and the resources necessary.
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 of your pregnancy. 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:
Individualized birth preparation for you and potentially a partner/co-parent/birth-helper
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/birth-helper can support you mentally, emotionally & 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

birth preparation
Single session, pregnancy
Either simply for yourself or together with your partner/birth-helper. The session is an open space for whatever you feel the need to discuss, reflect on, 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, an option can be to focus on how the birth-helper might best support you during the process - both physically, practically, mentally and emotionally. We work with practices such as rebozo, acupressure and techniques for nervous system regulation to provide more concrete approaches to support during birth.
Price: 900 DKK (1.5 hr)

Mini mail session
E-mail question
Sometimes the need is not for a session, but rather a gentle, thoughtful response to something specific you’re navigating, curious about or in need of inspiration and recommendations for.
So for you who are seeking a bit of sparring, inspiration, brief individual support or a helping hand in finding direction for a simple and concrete question, I’ve opened up for Mini Mail Sessions. A short e-mail based response, where you can pose your question and I’ll get back to you within a few days.
If I sense that your question deserves or needs more space and depth, I’ll circle back with a suggestion to find time for a regular session. Otherwise, this is a simple way to receive a bit of support - one message, here when you need it.
Price: 250 DKK

digesting your birth experience
Single session, postpartum
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. Becoming a parent 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. Together we shed light on the layers of the experience and the echo it left in the body - gently disentangling and unfolding the emotions, impressions and perceptions that lingers in the system. By allowing it the experience space to move through, we slowly pave the way back to a space of capacity.
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: 1100 DKK (2 hr)

rebozo for pregnancy
Rest - regulate - resettle
A rebozo is a large shawl traditionally used by Mexican midwives for a rocking massage technique. During pregnancy, the rebozo is used to promote relaxation, to calm the nervous system and minimize pain around the lower back and pelvis. It can also be used more actively as an approach to create space around the pelvis and help your baby settle into a more optimal position for birth. The specific approach will depend on how you are feeling and where in your pregnancy you are at this point.
This session can either be provided as a calming and comforting treatment or as a small teaching-session with/for a partner or birth-helper.
Price: 800 DKK, 1.5hr

“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”
