From anxiety and tension to peace and confidence: in yourself, your body, and the process of pregnancy, childbirth, and the period after.
Welcome to The Counseling Studio
Professional guidance in a warm and safe environment.
It's great that you're here. Being pregnant, giving birth, and becoming a mother is a profound and vulnerable period in your life. It can be a special and meaningful phase, but also a time when stress, fear, uncertainty, or past experiences surface.
You can tell that you are carrying tension with you, that you are dreading childbirth, or that a previous experience is still influencing how you feel now. Perhaps it feels different than you had hoped, less light or relaxed than you expected. Whatever your situation, you are welcome.

For whom?
My guidance is for women and couples in a special, but sometimes also vulnerable, phase of their lives. You are welcome when you long for more peace, confidence, and support, whether you are in the midst of a process or want to pause and reflect on what's going on.
I provide guidance for, among other things:
- Pregnant women who need rest, confidence, and support during pregnancy
- Mothers during the postpartum period or after, who are seeking balance, recovery, and space for themselves.
- Women (and partners) who have had a bad or traumatic birth experience and want to process it
- Women and couples with a desire for children who have fertility questions or challenges
- Healthcare providers in maternity care who need guidance with stress, processing, or rediscovering job satisfaction

You don't need to ‘fix’ anything. We'll investigate together what's going on.
and what can support you, so that you:
