Hi, I'm

Birte

I’m a birth and postpartum doula, 

about me

Hello!

Your path to a peaceful birth.

I support you and your partner in pregnancy, labour and postpartum so that you feel informed, empowered and cared for.

MAMABEAR DOULA

I’m a trained full-spectrum doula with a special focus on nutrition and movement.

Whether you’re preparing for birth or navigating the early days of parenthood, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, care, and evidence-based guidance.Alongside my work as a doula I’m also a mama to a toddler and bring both professional training and lived experience to the families I support. As a previous chef I think food is the way to the heart and I like to incorporate it in my work (you might hear me talk about the benefits of sourdough bread, dates and much more!) I’m a sailor, hiker, and climber, and these experiences inform how I support families. Movement, breath, and physical awareness are central to my approach as a doula. I speak German, French, and English fluently and offer services in all three language.

My work is rooted in:

  • Evidence-based information
  • Understanding the physiology of birth
  • Emotional safety and steady presence
  • Respect for your autonomy and informed choices
  • Partner-inclusive preparation

I prepare you and your partner so you both feel confident, connected, and ready, whether you are planning a home birth or hospital birth. Your partner remains central. I am there to strengthen your team, not replace it.

What drew my partner and I to Birte is her warmth and vibrant energy. When selecting a doula, we also found it reassuring that she sees doula services as a compliment to standard medicine. Birte genuinely cares about her clients and made a conscious effort to make the supporting parent feel equally comfortable, seen and included as the birthing parent. We both feel more reassured and relaxed going into the birth with the support we’ve received from Birte and also knowing she will be by our side. Sara F. and Joakim A.

Full Circle Having Birte’s support was the best thing my husband and I could have had while preparing for birth. She genuinely cared about us and was fully available every step of the way. With her, we learned a lot about labor, nutrition, birth preparation, and the postpartum period. Birte welcomed and respected all of our choices and did everything she could to make us feel comfortable within our own reality. She is extremely respectful and incredibly knowledgeable, which gave us a great sense of confidence, always answering our questions and sharing helpful resources and materials. I genuinely felt comfortable in every conversation with her and felt I could share anything, without hesitation. On top of that, we had so much fun in all our meetings, because Birte naturally creates a light, warm, and joyful atmosphere. She is a very well-rounded doula, with deep knowledge, empathy, and the ability to offer practical and thoughtful guidance, enriched by her own personal experience, which makes a huge difference. Having her support in every sense was truly a blessing. •⁠ ⁠Rivka B. and Gabriel P.
