Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
Whether you're trying to conceive, thinking about contraception, or exited about welcoming a new arrival, I'm here for you. I offer one-to-one appointments and am happy to come to you at home.
Should you wish to continue with a pregnancy, I'll see you monthly for check-ups, and every two weeks from week 30 onwards.
At each appointment I'll check in on your physical and emotional wellbeing, and if you're carrying, the position and growth of your baby, and listen to that heartbeat. I also offer K-tape therapy, massage, and relaxation techniques to keep you comfortable and supported throughout.
I always make sure there's plenty of time for questions — for you and your companion.
As well as individual check-ups, I offer tailored birth preparation for solo parents, queer families, surrogacies and adoption, and those who have experienced birth trauma. My goal is for you to feel calm, informed, and genuinely excited about what's ahead.
Together we'll also build a Birth Plan, covering the birth itself and the options available to you, as well as your first night as parents.
Individual & Personal Support
Becoming a parent is one of life's biggest transitions.
You deserve support beyond routine scans and short postpartum visits. Sometimes what matters most is having a trusted, experienced professional who can offer reassurance, practical help, and emotional care when you need it.
You can book me at any stage of parenthood to support you and your family and help make this transition calmer, more supported, and less overwhelming.
I offer personalised, non-judgemental support with:
-
Breastfeeding and infant feeding
-
Grief, birth trauma, and emotional wellbeing
-
Babywearing, slings, and settling
-
Pelvic floor support and sexuality after birth
-
Exhaustion, postnatal depression, and anxiety
-
Adjusting to sibling and pet dynamics
-
Or simply holding space so you can rest, recharge, and feel cared for
Support is always tailored to your needs so there is no pressure, no agenda, and no “right way” to parent.

My experience with Lois as my midwife was wonderful. Whatever worries I had, big or small, after she visited I always felt completely calm and reassured. Whilst navigating a first pregnancy in the midst of Covid with family and friends far away, she was the warmth and support I needed, whilst always remaining professional and informative. She never held any judgement and by the time birth-day came around I was feeling confident and excited to give birth. The birth itself was empowering. Although it was long and exhausting, I always felt in control and had complete trust in Lois that my baby and I were safe with her there, whilst also given all the space I needed. That day will always be the most precious memory. I’d recommend Lois to all future parents and I know who to call if/when I have another baby.
Common Questions
When is the best time to reach out to a midwife?
As soon as possible! In order for us to get to know eachother very well, its best to find a midwife and establish a relationship as early as possible. Most midwives like to plan their year in advance and they can get booked up very quickly.
Do I still need a midwife if this isn't my first pregnancy?
You are entitled to a midwife no matter how often you have been pregnant before. Each pregnancy, birth and postpartum is unique.
How will we know if you are right for our unique circumstances?
One of the reasons i moved to Berlin was so that i could care for a diverse group of clients. In the last 6 years I have been fortunate enough to have gained experience with single mothers, queer families, expats, vulnerable families, displaced families and those with additional physical needs. one of the most important things is to establish a healthy working relationship with your midwife and the best way to do this is by meeting them and voicing any concerns you may have.
Are we able to do a Childbirth preperation class with you?
Absolutley! I'd be delighted to have you join! I also offer Childbirth Preparation Classes 1:1 for clients expecting a complicated delivery, twin births, premature baby, C-section or solo parenting. Please send me a message using the contact form.
Are our appointments confidential?
Yes! I will always ask your permission before sharing any information with my collegues or your gynacologist and it is up to you who you bring along to your appointments.
You don't have avalability, where should I look now?
Reach out anyway, midwives tend to be well connected so it's possible I can send you in the right direction!
Do I need a midwife during the pregnancy if I already have a gynacologist?
A midwife is able to do everything a gynacologist offers except the three reccomended scans during the pregnancy. It is entirely your choice who you choose to work with but most midwives and gynacologists are very happy to work together to give you the best care.
Are you able to help with forms and applications?
I know how confusing all the paperwork can be and am very happy to help you navigate your way through the beaurocracy.
Will my insurance cover the Costs?
As I am not an NHS midwife you National Health insurance will not cover the support.
I am happy to send a clear overview of costs and if you are receiving benefits or unable to cover the costs please let me know.
