About me
Welcome! I’m delighted to share a bit about myself and the journey that led me to become a postpartum doula. Growing up in a close-knit village in central Israel, I was the youngest of four, surrounded by an extensive family network of grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles. This early community taught me the invaluable importance of caring for one another, instilling in me a deep appreciation for the bonds we share.
Though I’m the only one among my siblings to venture beyond our village—initially moving to Tel Aviv and later settling in Berlin—each step of my journey has been about finding and nurturing community. In Tel Aviv, I immersed myself in the vibrant queer community. I found it fascinating how in the distance from family or the absence of it, people can create their own chosen family or community. I completed my B.A. in behavioral science but felt I’m missing a more holistic approach. I engaged in the studies of a body work method and worked as independent somatic coach with individual clients, further expanding my understanding of connection and support through empathic touch.
My move to Berlin in 2014 marked the beginning of a new chapter, as I sought to create a family with my partner. Navigating the ups and downs of expat life, from language barriers and loneliness to the challenges of giving birth far from my family of origine, I’ve experienced firsthand the importance of community support during significant life transitions. These experiences, coupled with my journey of parenting in a queer family structure, giving birth and being the other parent, have deeply informed my approach to care and support.
As a postpartum doula, my goal is to foster a nurturing environment that celebrates and supports your unique journey into parenthood. I’m here to offer loving care and connection, tailored to you and your newborn’s needs, empowering you to trust in your parenting instincts and embrace your new role with confidence. Let’s navigate this beautiful, transformative journey together.
