Doula in Gothenburg

Hello, I'm Leonie. Originally from Germany, I now live in Gothenburg with my partner Albin and our beloved cat, Sune. In my spare time, I enjoy being in nature, practicing yoga and meditation, traveling, reading, drinking tea, knitting, second hand shopping, and learning new things.

I am a certified doula through Förlossningsgruppens doula training and also an Aktiv Baby (like Spinning Babies ®) and Föda utan Rädsla (Birth without Fear) instructor. I work as a project manager for an organization that supports girls and young women. It's always been my dream to work with and for women and families.

My journey to becoming a doula began at the age of 20 when an unplanned pregnancy led to an abortion. Though the decision felt right, I experienced feelings of shame and isolation. This experience ignited my passion for women's reproductive health and rights.

My dedication is further fueled by my and my partner’s struggle to conceive over the past years, facing several pregnancy losses. This challenging journey taught me the importance of support during life's transformative moments and strengthened my commitment to support others going through similar struggles.

Being part of your birth journey, an intimate and life-changing process, is a huge honor. As your doula I will support you throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period, sharing my knowledge and experiences to empower and reassure you. I also support your partner, helping them understand and learn how to be the best support for you. My goal is for you to remember your birth with a sense of safety, trust and inner strength. 

I offer continuous support, inspiration, and empowerment, irrespective of your background, sexuality, family situation, or birth plan.

Every birth I attend reaffirms the uniqueness of this journey and the privilege of being welcomed into that space. I am forever grateful for the trust of the families I support and those I will support in the future.

I am available as a doula in Gothenburg and nearby areas (Trollhättan, Borås, and Varberg) and can provide services in German, English, and Swedish.
