As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child – and also a mother. Birthing women and new mothers have had support from more experienced women since the beginning of time.

The word doula comes from the ancient greek word and came to mean “woman’s servant”. A doula’s role is to „mother the mother and provide continuity of care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

The doula brings the village back to our modern and urban lifestyle.

As your doula I go along with you throughout your pregnancy, birth & beyond (without the woo woo)!

 My aims are to help you prepare for birth and to give you the confidence to achieve a positive birth experience. I support your choices whatever, they may be. I also reassure your partner and help him or her feel confident in supporting you.

I am based in Winterthur serving mothers in Zurich and surrounding areas.

What my clients say: 

„Katrin accompanied us empathetically and competently through our pregnancy and birth and made a pivotal contribution to us experiencing a dream birth, and feeling prepared for the time after the birth. We particularly appreciated Katrin’s warm, attentive personality. Katrin’s perfect English and German enabled both parents to be equally included. We recommend Katrin wholeheartedly and without reservation!” – Anna
