Are you looking for an English-speaking Doula?

Personal support in Northern Bavaria & Online

Doula & Certified Body Ready Method® Pro

Evi Reinhard English-speaking Doula in Northern Bavaria
Vereinslogo von Doulas in Deitschland e.V.
Siegel mit Aufschrift "Body Ready Method Certified"

Hello, I'm Evi. I was born and raised in Germany but I lived several years in England before returning and settling in Kulmbach with my husband and our three children.

 

Originally, I'm a biologist with a doctorate in plant genetics. I never thought I would also work as a doula one day, but things changed during the birth of my second child. It was a busy day in the hospital and I did not get the emotional support I needed. I felt helpless and lonely, and could hardly cope with the labour pain.

 

After that experience, I decided to become a doula and completed my doula training in 2021. Since 2024, I'm also a certified Body Ready Method® Pro.

 

I know how it feels to live abroad and giving birth in a foreign country is an exceptional situation that can be scary. For this reason, I also offer my services in English and really love to support expats and international families on their birth journey.

Qualifications

Doula Services

I can support you in person in the area of Northern Bavaria (Bamberg, Bayreuth, Coburg, Erlangen, Hof, Grafenwöhr). If you live further away, I can also offer online support.

​

Prenatal support: I will meet with you and your partner during pregnancy to become acquainted and discuss your priorities and any fears or concerns you may have. I will help you to prepare for labour and birth. If needed, I can also accompany you during appointments with your midwife or doctor to translate if you are worried about language barriers.

​​

Labour and birth support: 10 days before until 10 days after your estimated due date I will be on call. You can then call me at day or night when you think you are in labour, even if you do not need me yet. We will decide if I should come right away or wait for further change. I will support and accompany you at your home, the hospital, or the birth centre for as long as you need me.​

​

Postpartum support: I will visit you at home to see how you and your baby are doing. We can talk about your birth experience and any questions you may have about life with a newborn baby. If needed, I can also give advice on breastfeeding or infant formula. I'm also happy to help you with any household chores or cooking.

​

Fees:

  • Prenatal and postpartum support: 80 € per hour

  • Labour and birth support (including on-call duty): starting from 680 €, please ask for a quotation.

  • Travel expenses: 0.50 € / km
