A little about me…

My journey into birth work began in 2020 with the birth of my son, Hugo. It was by far the most challenging experience of my life and at the same time I thought, ‘Woah! I need to do that again!’ I was completely enraptured in the process of childbirth and in awe of women/birthing people. I was struck at how transformative the journey to and through motherhood truly was. In many ways I grieved my old sense of freedom, but what was reborn felt magical and powerful. The journey was (and continues to be) healing, illuminating, mysterious, heart-opening, utterly challenging, and empowering. For me personally, birth and motherhood are medicine. This rite-of-passage has great potential to be a catalyst for positive change in ones life and thus, for our world.

Prior to Hugo’s birth I had been an Interior Designer for 10 years, but I knew my heart was calling for a different path. A soul-seeking trip to India, several different trainings (many Yoga trainings, Reiki, Rebozo, Birth Education, Rebozo, Birth Photography, Pregnancy Massage, etc), an extensive Doula education ( Birthing from Within), two years of attending several births, and here we are! I am proud to consider myself an experienced doula and am so thankful for and humbled by the lives I’ve been able to touch through this work.

For the new parents here, my intention is to hold you through this transformative period of your life, to support nature’s lead in guiding you inward, to witness your journey with compassion and reverence, to help you access your own inner-resources and witness your own bravery, to nourish you with ritual, to help balance your body and mind with movement and breath, to educate with evidence-based information, to empower you through this portal so you can step into motherhood/parenthood (and life) carrying that empowerment. I am here to hold, to nurture, to inform, to inspire, to empower, to walk alongside you - through both the bliss and the barriers - just as you are.

Doula in Copenhagen and North Zealand.

“I find Hannah to be tremendously life giving to be around. Both with her experiential wisdom, generous nature, and bright soul. It is a gift to know her. Some people naturally elevate your presence, confidence, and peace of mind. Hannah is that for me. Especially in my journey as a mother.”
