My name is Frances (they/she)

As a certified full-spectrum doula and trained childbirth educator, Frances now is a specialized postpartum doula. As a full spectrum doula, Frances offers support and care for abortions, miscariage & loss, pregnanacy, birth & postpartum experiences. They are dedicated to providing comprehensive support to English and French-speaking families in Berlin, Germany.

Having grown up in different countries around the world (Rwanda, Bolivia, Benin, South Africa, Thailand & Germany), Frances has firsthand experience with adapting to new cultures, languages, and environments. This unique perspective has taught them the importance of providing non-judgmental, compassionate care to families, particularly those who are adjusting to life in a foreign country.

With a decade of experience in care work, Frances has cared for infants, toddlers, children, young adults, and parents of all ages. From this Frances has developed a deep understanding of the challenges that families and new parents may face during their postpartum period.

As a postpartum doula, Frances focuses on ensuring families experience a smooth and well-supported transition into their new life after birth. Their postpartum doula support & services are designed to empower parents to make informed decisions, access the right care and support they need for their growing family.

Frances is passionate about helping families find the right solutions and resources to support their journey toward a healthy and nourishing postpartum experience.
