About Me
I am Lili Boesen-Hernandez,
a mexican expat mom
I was born and raised in Central Mexico among incredibly strong women and a caring family. I grew up surrounded by the delicious food, colors, music, and fun of my Latino heritage.
I have lived in Copenhagen since 2014
I married a hardworking Danish man and we have two little Vikings. Raising them away from my family has taught me the importance of having a strong support system.
I am a survivor of Perinatal Anxiety and depression, Birth Trauma, and Breastfeeding aversion.. I was able to recover in part by reconnecting with my Mexican roots and finding some answers concerning women´s health. During this process, I became fascinated with the mental and physiological aspects of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This experience inspired me to help other women.

My journey
My degrees are in Chemistry, Microbiology and Business management. I worked in the laboratory and as a biotechnology entrepreneurial advisor for more than 10 years before moving to Denmark. From my first pregnancy, I became a "birth and lactation nerd", because it helped me cope with my severe anxiety. After the first 6 months with my baby, I took the necessary steps to certify as a Lactation Counselor and Postpartum Doula with Childbirth International ®.
I travelled to Mexico to further understand the Mexican birth culture by learning from traditional midwives, family members and other resources. I researched forms of traditional care that were proven useful throughout history. A great example is the rebozo, which is loved by my clients. I have also incorporated other forms of care from various sources in my services including baby massage, babywearing, female herbalism care, anxiety control techniques, and more.
