My Journey: From Overwhelm & Exhaustion to Inner Calm and Vitality
My first experience with birth and becoming a mother
Giving birth in the remote mountains of Oaxaca to motherhood in Puerto Escondido Mexico
In 2006, I moved from Germany to Puerto Escondido, Mexico, after falling in love with my now-husband. A year later, we welcomed our first child. I chose to give birth in a remote mountain hut in Oaxaca, guided by prayer and my intuition, supported by an exceptional midwife.
The birth was long and physically demanding, yet deeply empowering. I felt truly heard, respected, and capable. But soon after, my confidence was challenged. I followed rigid schedules for feeding and sleep, influenced by friends and societal expectations, and ignored my instincts.
I learned a critical lesson: trusting your intuition is essential—not just for birth, but for the entire journey of motherhood. This realization sparked my path as a Doula.
The vulnerable and powerful time of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is an incredible opportunity to connect more deeply with your true self.
From struggle in early motherhood to deep healing
Motherhood, for me, was beautiful—but it was also exhausting, overwhelming, and full of challenges. I faced physical exhaustion, health issues, and marital tensions. My inner struggles and unresolved past wounds surfaced as anger, guilt, and frustration, making it hard to connect with my children and myself.
By the time I was postpartum with my third child, I reached a breaking point. Even small tasks felt impossible, and my energy and joy had drained away. I realized my struggles were not just daily stress—they were rooted in deeper, unresolved emotional wounds and patterns from my past.
Through deep inner healing, learning to regulate my nervous system, and addressing my core wounds, I began to reclaim my inner calm, compassion, and energy. This transformation allowed me to parent with more patience, softness, and joy, and reconnect deeply with myself, my children, and my partner.
Empowering Mothers Today: My Unique Approach
I developed my approach from the lessons of my own life—the dark, heavy, and messy times that showed me what mothers really need to feel alive, grounded, and capable of thriving.
Since 2017, I’ve walked alongside over 200 women as a Full Spectrum Doula, holding space for them through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In 2022, I became an advanced EFT Tapping Coach, giving me the tools to help mothers gently release the emotional blocks and old wounds that keep them stuck, and to finally start feeling steady, connected, and free in their lives and motherhood—even when their past has been anything but easy.
Why This Matters for You
Motherhood often brings unresolved wounds to the surface. Fear, guilt, anger, and anxiety can appear in moments you least expect. If you’ve faced trauma, difficult births, or challenging early experiences, it can feel impossible to break free from patterns you don’t want to repeat.
My approach helps mothers and pregnant women like you:
Turn automatic stress reactions into conscious choices, so you can respond instead of react.
Regulate your nervous system and feel safe and present in your own body.
Gently release shame, guilt, and anger without judgment.
Parent from a place of calm, connection, and joy—even when the past feels heavy.
My Mission
I’ve never seen this work fail. When mothers release their inner wounds, the transformation ripples through the whole family. By shifting limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns, you build a foundation of confidence, emotional freedom, and resilience—for yourself and your child.
My work is about real, lasting change: helping you move from overwhelm to calm, from doubt to clarity, and from stress to vitality.
"The greatest gift you can give your children is the healing of your own inner wounds. When you break free from old patterns, you empower them to step into life with confidence, peace, and emotional freedom.
Rediscovering Intimacy After Baby"
“Intimacy is not just about sex;
it's about deep connection and understanding.”
In the whirlwind of post-baby life, finding time and space for intimacy can feel like an elusive dream. But as Audrey Hepburn beautifully said, “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” Yet, the journey of reconnecting with your partner and rediscovering your own sensuality often involves navigating the challenges of exhaustion and stress. True intimacy is not merely about physical closeness; it's about a deep connection and understanding, as we learn from the insight that “Intimacy is not just about sex; it's about deep connection and understanding.” In this post, we’ll explore how to reignite that spark, balance motherhood with a fulfilling relationship, and cherish the profound joy that comes from a loving partnership.
Have you ever asked friends about post-baby sex life, only to be met with responses like "Sex? What's that?"
As a mom of four, I understand the joys, the exhaustion, and everything in between. I have found myself in the place of feeling drained and disconnected from my sensuality and sexuality.
But a fundamental truth exists: Our Sexuality is connecting us to our vitality and is the glue of relationships. It's a gift that we are meant to enjoy and take care of and which definitely isn't meant to be another point on our to-do list. Staying connected in love is the greatest gift we can give our children, providing them with deep security and happiness.
One of the big obstacles for keeping the flame burning is the high stress levels we are under, caused by our own and societal expectations for perfection, leading to exhaustion. Biologically, our bodies aren't wired for sex during highly stressful times. When cortisol runs high, our sex hormones take a backseat, making it difficult to feel connected to our sensuality.
How do we reclaim pleasure, play, intimacy and the space to let go and enjoy each other?
The key lies in regulating our nervous system, transitioning from a state of stress to one of relaxation and safety. By grounding ourselves, shedding our masks, and honestly expressing our desires and struggles, we create space for connection and intimacy.
Try Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping – a powerful tool for being tuned into your body and turned on with your partner. By tapping into your body's energy system, EFT helps release stress, tensions and stored emotions, allowing you to reignite the spark.
