supporting you on your journey in rediscovering yourself and strength as a mother

I support women on their beautiful journeys into motherhood.

Born and raised in California, I’m a mother of three, raising my family in Cologne. It is here I have created a space to support and empower women and their growing families.

As a birth and postpartum doula, it’s my goal to support you in welcoming your little one into the world as peacefully and harmoniously as possible. There is always so much focus on the arriving baby, but the new born mama is often forgotten. Not here. I feel honored to hold a space for you to find your inner strength, to learn to truly trust, connect and listen to your body, and give birth in a way that makes you feel safe and respected.

I am also fluent in German and offer all my services in both languages.

  • Das hier ist das Wochenbett meines 2. Kindes und mit dir ein absoluter Kontrast zum ersten Wochenbett. Endlich ein kleines „Dorf“. Ich darf heilen. Von so viel, was im ersten Wochenbett nicht so gut lief. Unser großer Sohn hat ein Wahnsinns Vertrauen zu dir und ist super betreut (er spricht viel von dir). Auch die Alltäglichkeiten, die anfallen darf ich liegen lassen und mich einfach nur auf diese wichtige Zeit konzentrieren. Danke jetzt schon. Für alles. <3

  • Ich bin unglaublich dankbar, dass ich nach der Geburt meiner Tochter von Sofia begleitet wurde. Sie ist extrem einfühlsam, hat mit viel Ruhe und Verständnis auf die Bedürfnisse meiner Tochter reagiert und mich in dieser wichtigen Zeit wunderbar unterstützt. Man merkt sofort, wie sehr sie ihren Beruf liebt und wie gerne sie mit Kindern arbeitet – das schafft Vertrauen und eine besondere Wärme. Absolute Herzensempfehlung💕

    Olivia’s Mama

  • Ich kann Sofia von ganzem Herzen weiterempfehlen:). Danke, dass du mich im Wochenbett so toll unterstützt hast. Ich habe mich jeden Tag gefreut, wenn du gekommen bist und uns unterstützt hast. Insbesondere deine empathische Art haben uns sehr geholfen, einen guten Start zu haben :-)

    Toni’s Mama

  • As a foreigner in Germany, a woman of color, with my husband as my only family here and not having fully grasped the language yet, when I found out I was pregnant, I knew I needed the support of someone who understood the experience. I needed someone with empathy and compassion who would not only equip us with the knowledge we needed to get through the pregnancy and birth process, but would also hold space for me, who would support us with understanding, love, and compassion. Sofia gave us that and so much more. We ended up having an extremely difficult birth. I don‘t think we could have made it through without her. We will forever be grateful for the love, warmth, and support she has given us even throughout postpartum. I am so happy to have had her be part of our birth team and to continue to have her be part of our village!

    Diego’s Mama

  • Sofia help me during my pregnancy and birth more than she can possibly imagine. Her presence, experience and availability took away from me and my family a great emotional and psychological stress. For a non German speaking mother-to be, just landed in the country, her help was priceless. I am sure that her presence made me more confident after birth and helped me building up great memories of the whole pregnancy-giving birth process.

    Emilia’s Mama

  • Sofia helped me beyond words can describe. I had a beautiful second birth after having Sofia as my doula as compared to a traumatic birth the first time. I knew I needed help to get over the trauma and Sofia prepared me AND was there for me every step of the way. My baby came to this world in the most beautiful way thanks to the way she empowered me. I wish 1. I knew the difference a doula would make in birth preparation and 2. I wish had had her as my doula for my first born.
