(Non)Breastfeeding Counseling

By the European Institute for Breastfeeding and Lactation I am happily certified as a Breastfeeding and Lactation Expert (EISL).

Because of being so passionate about this topic, I'm now also working toward my international certification as an IBCLC. I find it deeply fulfilling to provide evidence-based and empathetic support to people during this time. My work as a doula complements the breastfeeding counseling a lot, as I'm already a trusted person to you. Whether it's breastfeeding, formula feeding, or both, I'll answer questions during pregnancy and ensure that you and your caregivers receive all the necessary information. I highly recommend thinking about your child's nutrition early on, as it begins immediately after birth. Whether breastfeeding or not, it's my passion to accompany families

prepared, informed and supported

in the postpartum period.
