TESTIMONIALS

  • Doula

    Juli just has such a wonderful way of being with you. With her knowledge and her gentle and sensitive way, she supported me in both pregnancies to stay on my way and to find my strength again and again in case of doubts or challenges.

    Thank you so much for your constant support!

    When I first asked Juli if she would like to be my birth keeper, she replied " I feel like I want to say yes right away, but let me feel into it for one more day."

    - which I believe is the answer of a person, who honestly and wholeheartedly considers whether or not she would be the best person for me. Luckily she agreed and just like I had expected, she was very capable of providing the setting I had envisioned.

    Previous to the birth we had been talking about my other two births, where I had required little assistance- and that proved to be true for my third one as well. While that fact made my partner feel rather useless and restless, Juli stayed perfectly calm, holding the space beautifully and in respect and knowing of the process of birth and the inner and outer work that happened.

    She followed my progress in silence, fully present and aware of energetic shifts, enabling her to provide lower back rubs, a sip of water and an extra blanket with a perfect timing. Feeling her being so in tune with when to provide support and when to give space without me having to say a single word, made me feel absolutely safe and played a profound role in the birth flowing as gracefully as it did.

    Thank you Juli, for trusting the process and truly believing in the capability of women giving birth. Your work i so very important and beautiful.

  • Pregnancy Treatment

    I received treatments from Juli throughout all phases of my pregnancy. I chose Juli because I longed for a soft, feminine touch. Her holistic pregnancy massage made me forget about the world in a blissful state of loving strokes and the scents of flowers from her home-made oils. I recommend this for anyone desiring gentle, heart-felt touch.

  • Doula

    My time with Juli as a Doula officially began around 3 months before the birth of my daughter, but in fact it began much before that.

    By the time I discovered I was pregnant, Juli offered me continuous support throughout the pregnancy journey, recommending good pregnancy and birth readings, offering emotional support and knowledge about what to expect during each phase and trimester of pregnancy and she gave me natural medicines to ease the discomforts experienced through each phase.

    All that helped me - so at the time the preparations for the birth started to be made (around 6 months of pregnancy) I already felt capable of making decisions about my own birth with an informed mind and heart.

    My pregnancy journey was full of surprises and unforeseen circumstances - Juli helped me go through them with ease, helping me getting in tune with my body and intuition, and offering me support even when difficult decisions needed to be made or a plan had to be changed - meeting every step of the way with openness and grace, so in the end we were able to give my daughter the best birth she could have.

    Im incredibly grateful for her support and meticulous work as a Doula, we made a great team, me my partner and her welcoming my daughter into the world. And without her, this journey would have been much more difficult than it was.

  • Pregnancymassage

    Juli's way of approaching the body is intuitive and wise.

    I could sense her deep connectedness both to herself and her to the woman in front of her.

    It's as if she knows exactly what your body needs in any given moment.

    I felt so safe and cared for by her gentle, feminine presence and warm touch.

    And my body felt so deeply relaxed and nourished afterwards.

    I cannot recommend a massage with Juli enough, it is a beautiful gift of love to yourself or another

    Thank you Juli x

First of all: What is a Doula?

a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.

Countless scientific trials examining doula care demonstrate remarkably improved physical and psychological outcomes for both pregnant, birthing, and postpartum people and their baby. Doulas have a positive impact on the well-being of the entire family.

Why having a Birth Doula?

It is one of the positive developments in maternity care to have Doulas and Birthkeepers who guide and support women and their partners continuously through the transitions of pregnancy, labor and birth. As your Doula I will usually meet with you in advance, be on call for you, arrive at your home or the hospital when you need me and remain with you continuously, with few breaks, until after the baby is born. I am trained and experienced in providing emotional support, physical comfort and nonclinical advice. In best case I get to know you during pregnancy and learn about your story, your priorities , preferences, fears and concerns and help develop strategies to deal with them. I have knowledge and experience so I can reassure, encourage, comfort and empathize with you. I will also work with your partner, assisting you both.

As a Doula I do not take the role of the medical professional like midwife or doctor and also not your beloved Birth Partner. But there are many times when you will need more than one helper and your partner might also need reassurance, advice and help. As your Doula I will not make decisions for you but rather help you to get the space and information you need to make your own empowered decisions. My goal is for you to have a satisfying experience as you define it.

During prenatal talks or visits, I work with you to create a birth plan that aligns with your values, beliefs and preferences. I offer emotional support and comfort measures like Holistic Massages, Rebozo, natural remedies and homeopathy to help prepare you for childbirth. My goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your journey.

During childbirth, I offer you continuous support as well as physical and emotional comfort to make your experience as positive and comfortable as possible. That could include breathing exercises, massage or other natural pain management techniques, offering you water between contractions, being with you so your partner can have a little break or making pictures of your birth.

My postpartum support for you is to provide emotional and practical support during the first weeks with your newborn. This can include emotional support to help you process and integrate your birthing experience and to adjust to your new role, practical help with the baby, siblings and in your home, Postpartum Massage and other comfort measures as well as creating personalized placenta medicine for you if you are interested in utilizing this natural and traditional medicine to support postpartum healing and recovery.

What I stand for

I believe you are the expert of your birth!

I trust you and I want you to trust yourself!

I believe that every woman should experience her pregnancy and birth in freedom and self- determination.

I want to help you to tap into your instincts to move with the inherent wisdom of your body and to make decisions based on your knowing and intuition.

I know and stand behind the power of an undisturbed and hands-off approach to childbirth. I have witnessed the raw beauty of it.

It can be calm. It can be peaceful. It can be sacred. It can be natural. A dance between you and your baby.

As Doula I stand for a holistic and embodied approach of holding space for you. Because Embodied Connection leads to safety.

I am here to empower women to trust their intuition and body-wisdom and to step away from the often tech-heavy and male-dominated (birth) system into the inherent naturalness of birth and the strong ability of your body to birth.

I aim to provide a supportive and nurturing environment where fear and control are replaced with trust, empathy and confidence.

Women who love birth, love women.

To love birth means you trust birth,

to trust birth is to trust women.
