About 👋

Hi, I am Rebecca, a mom of two cloth diapered children (born in 2016 and 2019) living in Berlin for over 10 years now.

Becoming a mother changes your demands and desires in life. Experiencing that myself I decided to follow my passion of sharing my knowledge and my experience with other moms and families.

For over three years I have been supporting and accompanying families and especially women with my offers on their way through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond.

In addition to my work as a Mütterpflegerin (postpartum doula) and cloth diaper consultant, I offer baby massage classes.

With my Welcome Baby Course, parents (to-be) have the opportunity to best prepare for the new life situation with baby (a period most birth preparation courses don't focus on, as they only address the time up to when the baby is born).

Since living one year abroad in Canada and studying with many internationl students in my master degree, I have had a love for the English language. With my offers I would love to support the english speaking community in Berlin as the range of services for non-German-speaking families and parents in the areas of Mütterpflege and especially cloth diapering is still rather limited.

I look forward to working with you!

Insurance Coverage

Many of our guide's services are covered by insurance. Please check with your insurance provider to see if you are covered.

Mütterpflege can in many cases be covered by your insurance (on a pro-rata basis or even completely).

Therefore you have to apply to your health insurance company for professional household help.

I am happy to assist you with the paperwork and application process.
