With Sensitivity and Expertise, I Am Here for You

 

My professional passion lies in supporting, advising, and accompanying parents and their babies in a health-promoting and emotionally attuned way. After working in various fields outside of children’s hospitals, I have specialised since 2009 in bonding support and crisis intervention for parents and babies — based on the latest findings of infant and attachment research.

Baby Bonding is based on the concept of Emotional First Aid (Emotionellen Ersten Hilfe, EEH)My approach is further enriched by knowledge from prenatal and baby therapy.

The goal of my work is to strengthen parents and babies in their relationship, understanding, and communication with one another — so that parents feel confident in caring for their little one, and babies feel securely held.

“As I am held, I go out into the world.”
