With a background as a pediatric nurse in Germany for 10 years, I have a deep understanding of child development and newborn care. I further complement this knowledge with the Ayurvedic principles, tailoring dietary recommendations to optimize the families health and energy levels during this special time. This combination allows me to provide holistic and personalized support, ensuring a smooth transition into parenthood.
My background as a yoga teacher provides a strong foundation for my work as a postpartum doula. Yoga's emphasis on mindfulness and breathwork equips new mothers with valuable tools to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of the postpartum period. Gentle yoga movements can help regain strength and flexibility, especially targeting the core and pelvic floor for faster recovery and reduced discomfort. Furthermore, yoga's relaxation techniques promote better sleep, a precious commodity for new moms.
