Newborn Care Specialist · Since 2006

Expert maternity & newborn care, led with quiet confidence.

You already know you need support. You just needed someone to say "that's okay."

I come into your home at night. And the first thing I do is ask you where you are at. Not the baby. You. Then we build the rest around what you actually need.

A different kind of presence

I listen before I act.
I watch before I advise.

Every baby is different. Every mother is different. So before I build a night rhythm, I learn yours: your feeding choices, your fears, what "rest" actually means to you right now. Then we shape something that fits this family, not a textbook.

Even an extra twenty minutes between feeds where you are genuinely resting, not half-sleeping with one ear open. That can change what the next day looks like. That is the work. Quietly. Night after night. Until you find your footing.

Twenty years. Four continents.

Every kind of home. Without judgement.

From Vienna apartments to London townhouses, from Swiss chalets to families in the Emirates and the United States. I have worked across cultures, languages, faiths, and circumstances. I have never walked into a home and judged what I found there. What I bring instead is twenty years of nights, calm hands, and a quiet kind of expertise.

What postpartum recovery actually looks like depends on a hundred quiet variables. My job is to meet you exactly where you are, and to make the first weeks feel possible. Often, surprisingly so.

Three ways to bring me into your home.

Pick the shape of support that fits this season of your family. Or talk to me first and we'll shape something together. Every engagement starts with a conversation, never a contract.

Night Care

You actually sleep. I take the night: the feeds, the soothing, the worrying. So you wake up genuinely rested, not just less exhausted. Calm morning handovers. No jolt.

She is a pleasure to have around, but gives you and your family enough privacy at the same time. We will love to have her back when we have another baby.

the night shift.

Practical guidance, gentle myth-busting, and the small thoughts I find myself repeating to families at 3 a.m. Written for the ones I work with, and the ones I haven't met yet.

The husband stitch, postpartum recovery

The "Husband Stitch": What It Is and Why You Don't Have to Accept It

The husband stitch is an outdated practice that causes harm. Learn what it is, how to avoid it, and what to ask your medical team during post-birth recovery so you walk away with the care you deserve.
