About 👋

Hi, my name is Lena from MamabeReal.

I'm a specialist for Empowered Pregnancy, Birth & Motherhood and I want to fill the support gap for English-speaking expectant parents in Germany who may feel overwhelmed.

I'm a mum and myself in a binational marriage. I experienced the struggles of expat parents from abroad and how draining it can be to run after bits of information on really important matters. I still remember the fears of deadlines, missing out and being disadvantaged myself.

I am a transnational social worker, with over 10 years of experience in supporting mothers and children from all over the world.

I love what I do and I can't wait to share my expertise with you!

As I non-medical professional, I offer mental and informational childbirth education, which contains hypnobirthing and mediation but is not limited to it. In fact, I have developed my own evidence-based concept that addresses the criticism of Hypnobirthing, making it more realistic and less spiritual while still incorporating its benefits.
