Hi, I am Iben. Doula and mother to two beautiful boys.
As a doula, I am passionate about holistic, individually tailored care for women and families standing on the threshold of one of life's greatest transitions.
In my work, I wish to create a place to land. A room where you don't need to perform, explain, or have everything ready. A place where the body can join in, thoughts can take up space, and you can be met exactly where you are.
I work as a doula, pregnancy massage therapist, course holder, and YogaPilates instructor, following women and families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. A time that can hold both expectation and change, vulnerability and strength, joy and unrest.
My background is in nursing, with previous experience in maternity and pediatric departments. Eventually, I wanted to get closer to the existential, emotional, and relational aspects of this life phase and furthered my education as a doula at the Doula School in Oslo. My own journey into motherhood has also been an important driving force in my work. Not as a measure for others' experiences, but as a reminder of how personal and different this transition can be.
Today I offer, among other things, pregnancy massage, birth preparation courses, birth support, postpartum support, postpartum meals, and yoga and movement courses.
Everything I do stems from the same desire: to meet you with calm, presence, and respect for the fact that no body, birth, family, or path into motherhood is exactly the same.
With room for all of you.
