I am a former midwife from Germany with a passion for learning and collecting new experiences along this journey we call life! On my journey I have been blessed to be accepted into homes of strangers who became friends and experience their generosity and love, as well as the stories of their life challenges and success; none more so than from the friendships I have made in Australia.

While their cultures and norms may differ from mine and from each other, one experience remains constant—and that is their journey into motherhood.

Every mother I have helped as a midwife or spoken to as a friend tells a story of how they received encouragement, care and support (adequate or not) from the healthcare system and their community when they were pregnant but felt unsupported and overwhelmed after the baby was born.

I see an overwhelming need for mothers to continue to receive encouragement, loving care and emotional support postpartum, so I started Mum’s Oasis. As a doula, I am helping mums in Sydney, Australia and worldwide to bring out the best mum in them. If the mother is well, she can take good care of her baby and family and if families are well our society has a much better chance of being well.
