Schwesterherzen Doulas

We are Sarah, 32, and Natalia, 37, sisters and colleagues. We provide emotional support to pregnant women and couples during pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period as doulas. Our own (rather suboptimal) experience a few years ago ignited in us the desire to support women/couples as well as possible during this unique and formative time.

We have personally experienced that important information is not always easily accessible, sometimes even contradictory, and that there are still many taboos and myths surrounding becoming a parent. It is a vulnerable phase in which we rely on reliable and loving support. Therefore, it is a heartfelt concern for us to positively influence this time through our work.

During our regular research on topics related to parenthood, we came across the term "Matrescence" two years ago and immediately knew that the knowledge about it has enormous potential to fundamentally change our perception of motherhood and significantly improve the experience of mothers.

The intense feelings, personal development, and disorientation that many of us feel when becoming mothers - all of that is normal! It is a genuine developmental phase that we have given the (Germanized) name 'Muttertät.'

Warm regards from Munich,

Natalia + Sarah
