About me
Hi, I'm Amy (she/her)
Wherever and however you choose to give birth and whatever happens along the way, you can find your safe space with me.

Inspired by the positive experience of having a Doula at the birth of my second child, I took my doula training with Melanie Schöne, in association with Doulas in Deutschland e.V. in early 2022.
I love the variety in this work and I am convinced doulas make a difference in this often overwhelming stage of life.
​
My background in psychology (BA) and counselling skills means I am well trained in active listening and looking out for your emotional well-being. I also have 13+ years of valuable experience parenting and running a household.
​
​In 2011 my husband and I moved with our 7 month old baby from the UK to Hanau, Germany. Our second baby was born here in 2015 and in 2019 we all became dual citizens, so we are pretty settled here. But I remember at first how difficult it was to navigate the health system and cultural differences here, especially as we started with very basic German. I have since taken several language courses and learned many kids songs in German and am currently at B2/C1 level. I can help you with translation and communication throughout your birth journey.
​
Outside of work, I enjoy walks in nature, organising my home, looking after my pet rabbit, obsessing over K-pop band BTS and pretending I can dance.
​
Looking forward, I am excited to keep learning from each family I work with as well as continuing my doula education.
