My StoryAbout me
That’s how I became a doula
Born and raised in Offenburg in the Black Forest, I have been living together with my husband, originally from Northern Ireland, and our 3 children in beautiful Central Switzerland since 2009.
Since the birth of our eldest in 2008, I have had an inner desire to become a doula myself and to support other women on the beautiful journey of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. We were living in Singapore at the time of his birth and met our future doula at the antenatal class she was running. After the course, it was clear to my husband and me that with this woman by our side, we would be in good hands. And that’s how it was: she was an interesting conversational partner, always present when she was needed, but also reserved and hands-off when we as a couple were making good progress alone. She was our rock and always had the right tips at hand.
After this powerful and eventful birth, my husband and I were able to start the adventure of parenthood strengthened and full of self-confidence in ourselves, my body and our intuition.
Three more pregnancies followed: an early miscarriage in late 2009, our middle daughter in November 2010, who was born in the Kantonsspital in Zug, and then our youngest daughter, who peacefully entered the world at home in August 2015.
In my free time, I like to spend time with family and friends in the mountains, summer and winter, skiing is one of my great passions. The other is volleyball. I still actively play and have been coaching the U13 girls in our local club for a few years, which I really enjoy.
