Are you expecting a baby and looking for a doula who can support you in English?
Whether you are an international family living in Denmark, a bilingual couple, or simply feel more comfortable speaking English, you are very welcome here.
I offer doula support, birth preparation, breastfeeding preparation and postpartum support in English.
My approach is personal, calm and non-judgemental. I believe that you should feel informed, supported and confident in making your own choices throughout pregnancy, birth and the early days with your baby.
Giving birth in a country that is not your own can come with some extra questions.
You may be wondering how the Danish maternity system works, what your options are during birth, how to communicate your wishes, or simply how to feel more at home and supported during such an important experience.
As your doula, I can provide continuous emotional and practical support throughout your pregnancy and birth.
We get to know each other before your baby arrives, talk about your wishes and expectations, and prepare for different possibilities during birth.
My role is not to tell you how to give birth. Instead, I am there to support you in finding your own way and help you feel safe, informed and cared for.

If you are planning to breastfeed, I also offer breastfeeding preparation in English during pregnancy.
We talk about the first breastfeeding after birth, milk production, hormones, breastfeeding positions, how to help your baby latch, and some of the most common breastfeeding challenges.
You will also receive my breastfeeding guide, Ammeguiden, with the information we cover during the session.
Breastfeeding preparation: 2 hours – 1,200 DKK
adoula who supports your whole family
Your partner is an important part of the birth.
I don't see the doula as replacing the partner. Instead, I see my role as giving both of you additional support and practical tools, so your partner can feel confident and involved. During our preparation, we can talk about how your partner would like to support you and how we can work together as a team during labour.

a free chemistry meeting
Choosing a doula is a very personal decision. You need to feel comfortable with the person who may be beside you during one of the most vulnerable and important experiences of your life. That's why I offer a free, no-obligation chemistry meeting.
We will spend about an hour getting to know each other, talking about your thoughts and wishes for the birth, and discussing what you are looking for in a doula. You can ask me anything about my approach and the way I work. There is absolutely no obligation to book a doula afterwards. The most important thing is that you find the right doula for you.

I believe that good support starts with listening.
Your birth belongs to you, and my role is to support you without judgement, help you understand your options and give you the space to make informed choices.
I also have a background as an NLP Master Coach, which has given me extensive training in communication, coaching and creating a safe space for conversations.
