My Journey: From Overwhelm & Exhaustion to Inner Calm and Vitality

My first experience with birth and becoming a mother

Giving birth in the remote mountains of Oaxaca to motherhood in Puerto Escondido Mexico

In 2006, I moved from Germany to Puerto Escondido, Mexico, after falling in love with my now-husband. A year later, we welcomed our first child. I chose to give birth in a remote mountain hut in Oaxaca, guided by prayer and my intuition, supported by an exceptional midwife.

The birth was long and physically demanding, yet deeply empowering. I felt truly heard, respected, and capable. But soon after, my confidence was challenged. I followed rigid schedules for feeding and sleep, influenced by friends and societal expectations, and ignored my instincts.

I learned a critical lesson: trusting your intuition is essential—not just for birth, but for the entire journey of motherhood. This realization sparked my path as a Doula.


The vulnerable and powerful time of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is an incredible opportunity to connect more deeply with your true self.


From struggle in early motherhood to deep healing

Motherhood, for me, was beautiful—but it was also exhausting, overwhelming, and full of challenges. I faced physical exhaustion, health issues, and marital tensions. My inner struggles and unresolved past wounds surfaced as anger, guilt, and frustration, making it hard to connect with my children and myself.

By the time I was postpartum with my third child, I reached a breaking point. Even small tasks felt impossible, and my energy and joy had drained away. I realized my struggles were not just daily stress—they were rooted in deeper, unresolved emotional wounds and patterns from my past.

Through deep inner healing, learning to regulate my nervous system, and addressing my core wounds, I began to reclaim my inner calm, compassion, and energy. This transformation allowed me to parent with more patience, softness, and joy, and reconnect deeply with myself, my children, and my partner.


Empowering Mothers Today: My Unique Approach

I developed my approach from the lessons of my own life—the dark, heavy, and messy times that showed me what mothers really need to feel alive, grounded, and capable of thriving.

Since 2017, I’ve walked alongside over 200 women as a Full Spectrum Doula, holding space for them through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In 2022, I became an advanced EFT Tapping Coach, giving me the tools to help mothers gently release the emotional blocks and old wounds that keep them stuck, and to finally start feeling steady, connected, and free in their lives and motherhood—even when their past has been anything but easy.


Why This Matters for You

Motherhood often brings unresolved wounds to the surface. Fear, guilt, anger, and anxiety can appear in moments you least expect. If you’ve faced trauma, difficult births, or challenging early experiences, it can feel impossible to break free from patterns you don’t want to repeat.

My approach helps mothers and pregnant women like you:

Turn automatic stress reactions into conscious choices, so you can respond instead of react.

Regulate your nervous system and feel safe and present in your own body.

Gently release shame, guilt, and anger without judgment.

Parent from a place of calm, connection, and joy—even when the past feels heavy.

My Mission

I’ve never seen this work fail. When mothers release their inner wounds, the transformation ripples through the whole family. By shifting limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns, you build a foundation of confidence, emotional freedom, and resilience—for yourself and your child.

My work is about real, lasting change: helping you move from overwhelm to calm, from doubt to clarity, and from stress to vitality.

"The greatest gift you can give your children is the healing of your own inner wounds. When you break free from old patterns, you empower them to step into life with confidence, peace, and emotional freedom.
