Let me support you.
As a Doula in Köln, I hold your hand during pregnancy, stand behind you during birth, and sit beside you in postpartum.
As an experienced Doula and Mother myself, I’ve been there! I understand the worries, the unknowns, the language struggles of giving birth and bringing up children in a new country.
We are not meant to do this alone.

Payment Options
Paid for by your Health Insurance
If you or your family have public health insurance you may be able to recieve pregnancy, birth and postpartum care paid for by your insurance.
There are a couple of conditions you have to have:
If requesting pregnancy or postpartum support then there should be no-one to help you at home (no family member staying with you or your partner is at work - also possible to apply after your partner goes back to work).
If requesting birth support you should have looked for a belag hebamme but not be able to find one.
More information here or get in touch - I can walk you through the forms and help you get the support you deserve.
Payment Plans
I passionately believe every woman should have access to a doula - someone who can guide them through pregnancy, be there to support throughout their birth and nurture them postpartum. And my services are not exclusive to a mother - the rest of the family also benefits when Mama is cared for.
I am open to various different payment plans depending on your financial situation. For example: full sum paid over 4 months or a sum up front and the rest later. Get in touch and we can discuss how we can make it work for both of us.
‘Pay What You Can’
PAY WHAT YOU CAN means you pay what you are able to afford for my services. If you would like to apply for this option, please write me an email explaining your situation and why you would like Doula support.
Every 6 months I am able to offer this service to a 1-1 client.
If a Doula were a drug,
it would be unethical not to use it.
