Hi, I am Anna!
For the past ten years, I have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of parents through pregnancy, breastfeeding and the time afterwards.
This place is here to help you create a safe connection to yourself, your partner and your child based on knowledge, self -compassion and security.
I think we can change the world by giving birth to our terms.
My drive
I'm here to help you give birth in the way you long for (and cheer on you in daring to dream!)
The birth is one of the biggest events in life, which has the potential to both heal and create trauma.
I have spent many years trying to understand why some births will be strengthening, fantastic experiences and why some births will not be.
I have supported parents under hospital births, emperor births and home births. I have collected my experiences in the courses I offer parents and douls.
I share my experiences with you who long to food By own power, no matter what the birth looks like and for those who want to step into parenthood with confidence in your own ability.
I share my experiences that the knowledge of birth and understanding of myself saved me after I gave birth to my first child.
After a traumatic birth and childbirth depression, I slowly learned to take care of myself and how to heal physically and emotionally after giving birth.
My background
My own pregnancies and births have deepened the understanding of what I do. I have given birth in a hospital, during a planned home birth and then again in hospital in what was called a risk birth and which happened undisturbed, safely without interventions. I have been breastfeeding for over ten years, through pregnancies and through life.
I have a background in idea history (with a focus on childbirth history) and acting and since 2015 have been certified Doula through food without fear and certified Childbirth Educator via Birthing from Within (USA). I have studied herbal medicine with Asia Suler and Aviva Romm and am trained in spinning Babies and Hypnobirth. I am a certified breastfeeding adviser through the breastfeeding help.
I have a never -ending passion for cooking with real ingredients and herbs, and I have seen how much difference nutritious, loving food can make for recovery after childbirth. After years of cooking healing food and herbal recipes for family, friends and new moms, I have a strong conviction that food is really medicine. I have great respect for wisdom in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine when it comes to recovery after birth and is inspired by what I learned, while looking in my own forgotten heritage.
I have been running an organic farm outside Nyköping for many years but now live in Portugal with my family.
