Hello!

Nice that you’re here!

Behind every good care stands a person with real passion.
I want you to get to know me – my story, my values, and why I love supporting families every day.

My path to becoming a midwife

Always connected to midwifery

In 1994, I was born at home in Aachen — maybe that was already a sign of my future path.
After many years of school and a year of voluntary service in a maternity ward, I knew:

I want to support families during this special time.

Solid education & continuous professional development

In October 2015, I began my midwifery training at Vinzenz-Palotti Hospital in Bensberg, Bergisch Gladbach, which I successfully completed in 2018 as a certified midwife.
After almost two years of learning, working, and traveling abroad, I returned to my hometown and have since been working as a freelance midwife in Aachen.

My passion for evidence-based midwifery care led me to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery in 2024.
At the same time, I specialized in breastfeeding support and became a certified IBCLC lactation consultant (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) in January 2025.

Wie ich arbeite

Evidence-based

Current research meets practical experience

Customized

Every family is different – so are my consultations.

Low-intervention

As little as possible, as much as necessary

Needs-based

Your wishes and needs are at the center.

My goal is to

to inform families comprehensively and support them in making individual decisions!

You should feel confident, be able to make informed decisions, and trust your intuition.

My Focus Areas

Home birth care in Aachen and surrounding areas

As an experienced home birth midwife, I support families who choose to give birth within their own four walls.
From prenatal care to postnatal support – all from one source.

IBCLC Breastfeeding Consultation

With the international certification as an IBCLC lactation consultant, I help with all breastfeeding challenges — from painful beginnings to complex situations such as tongue-tie issues.

Support during difficult times

Miscarriages and stillbirths are tragic experiences. With specialized training, I support families during these difficult times — offering counseling, guidance, and postpartum care.

Holistic therapy approaches

Low-level laser therapy, kinesiotaping, and acupuncture complement my classic midwifery services to support your optimal healing and well-being.

Aachen is my home

Rooted in the region

Born and raised in Aachen,

I know the region, the hospitals, and the network of colleagues and specialists.
These connections help me provide you with the best possible care.

Extensive experience, personal care

Despite my international experience, I consciously returned to my hometown. Here I can offer families the personal, continuous care that is so valuable in today’s world.

Being a midwife means accompanying families through one of the most intense phases of life.

Pregnancy, birth, and the first time with your baby are filled with emotions, changes, and new challenges.

My mission

Helping you find your own path.
Not my path or the supposedly “right” one – but the one that fits you, your family, and your values.
