Birth Support

For Families in Berlin & Beyond

Planned cesarean, unmedicated home birth, in the hospital with an epidural, or anywhere in between, you deserve to be nurtured and supported as you go through this pivotal transition into parenthood.

As a trained labor companion, I assist you in hospitals, birth centers and home births, in Berlin and beyond.

We live away from our families and when they were not here helping, Keatyn filed that role beautifully. She gave advice, lent books, shopped, cooked wonderful meals, dis washing, tidied up and organized. she is a ray of sunshine and positive energy and deeply passionate.

Happy Families

She supported me and my partner throughout the whole birth, not just by helping me breathe and calming me down, but also physically. She even brought all kinds of things to the hospital to help however she could.
I'm very thankful to Keatyn for all her energy that she was giving me for almost 24h of her staying beside me. She helped me to breathe, she was making soft and helping massage. She was very attentive from our first meeting and noted all my wishes.
Keatyn was supportive, compassionate and knowledgeable during my entire labor. It was an unexpected long and challenging birth and we couldn't have done it without her.
I was very impressed with her instincts, she squeezed my hips during the contractions which made my contractions more productive and MUCH less painful.
