After graduating in 1985, I took a year off and lived for a while in Oxford and Paris. I then pursued my love for children and education and became a teacher.

Ten years later after some soul searching and extensive travel I was ready for a change and happy to embrace motherhood.

My first child was born in 1998. I moved with my husband in 2000 to the United States where I was doing part time work as a cross cultural trainer and became the mother of two more children.

We moved back to Switzerland in 2008 and I took on some part time teaching for a few years. While being on the lookout for a new professional calling, I came across the doula training. My desire for a profession which included people, education and appreciation for the natural rhythms of life was fulfilled.

I am a passionate and happy doula for several years now. To this day I am amazed at the three entirely different births that I experienced. My first baby was born completely natural in a Swiss hospital. In the United States I had my second baby with a preemie related Cesarean complicated by Preeclampsia. I was blessed with a third baby that was peacefully born at home. My own story to motherhood has taught me that each birth is a rite of passage, a sacred process - no matter how it unfolds.  I have come to learn, that a baby making its transition to life on Earth, is a co-creative process.
