Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a doula, and how is it different from a midwife?
A doula offers emotional, physical and informational support before, during and after birth, but does not provide clinical or medical care. A midwife is a healthcare professional responsible for the clinical care and assessment of pregnancy and birth. I work alongside midwives and doctors to help you understand what is happening, feel supported and make informed decisions throughout your care.
2. Where do you offer your services?
Most of my private support takes place in your home. I work primarily in Copenhagen and nearby areas that are easily reachable by public transport — for example Frederiksberg, Hvidovre, Herlev and Roskilde.
For some services, I can also travel further across Zealand and Funen. If you live further away, send me a message and we can see what is possible.
3. What kind of families do you support?
I support families across cultures, backgrounds and family structures, with particular experience supporting international and bilingual families navigating pregnancy, birth and postpartum in Denmark.
I adapt how I communicate and work according to your family structure, culture, previous birth experiences, anxiety, neurodiversity and the way you process information. The aim is not for you to fit into one way of preparing for birth or becoming a parent, but for the support to make sense for you and your family.
4. What kind of training do you have?
My path combines formal, evidence-based education with traditional maternal-care knowledge.
I’m certified through programs accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and I’ve completed more than 90 hours of lactation-specific education — the level required to pursue IBCLC certification, although I am not a registered IBCLC.
I also meet the Danish requirement of more than 600 hours of professional education for alternative therapists. My academic background is in Chemistry and Molecular Biology, with work related to microbiology and the vaginal microbiome, which informs how I understand women’s health.
Alongside this scientific training, I have studied directly with traditional Mexican midwives, learning traditional and holistic approaches to supporting women physically, emotionally and culturally through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
I continue expanding my professional education so that the support I offer remains informed, responsible and safe. My work brings these areas together: evidence, clear information and traditional forms of care, adapted to the individual woman and family.
5. What languages do you speak?
I speak Spanish and English fluently. I also understand and communicate in Danish, although I prefer to work in English when detailed communication is important. My website and many of my materials are available in English, Spanish and Danish.
6. How can I work with you?
You can contact me for Birth Doula Support, Private Birth Preparation, Breastfeeding Support, Postpartum Doula Care, Rebozo Massage, a Mexican Closing Ceremony or a Mother Blessing.
Send me a message with a little about what you are looking for and, when relevant, your due date or your baby’s age. I arrange bookings personally so we can first make sure the service fits what you need.
7. What is it like to work with you?
I bring calm communication, practical knowledge and hands-on support, while adapting my role to what you and your family need.
Sometimes that means helping you understand what is happening, sometimes trying practical tools together, and sometimes knowing when to step aside. I do not arrive with one idea of what a good birth, postpartum or feeding journey should look like. My role is to help you understand your options and navigate what makes sense for you.
