Hello there!
I'm Elmi, a lifelong learner, empath, birth, postpartum, and overnight doula, as well as a massage therapist and a mom of one, residing in Berlin.
I offer emotional, physical, and educational support with the aim of honouring your preferences, reassure, celebrate and hold your hand through this process, without bias or agenda.
With a cumulative 20 years of experience as a professional massage and sports therapist, along with my role as a doula, I deeply comprehend the profound impact touch can have on both physical and emotional well-being.
My specialization in supporting birthing individuals and their partners, combined with ancestral knowledge in postpartum care, has significantly influenced my approach to the transformative work of pregnancy and postpartum support.
Throughout this experience, you'll have opportunities to enrich your understanding and knowledge by incorporating modern medical insights while simultaneously tapping into your primal inner wisdom.
This process transcends conventional labour coaching methods, emphasizing deep listening and approaching both the birth and postpartum phases with curiosity, fostering the development of unique skills. You'll cultivate trust and confidence in your own body.
In my role as a massage therapist, bodyworker, and hypnobirthing advocate, I integrate grounding mind-body practices to contribute to a more comfortable and confident pregnancy and birth experience.
I am enthusiastic about sharing my wealth of experience and wisdom to assist you and your family in navigating a safe, comfortable, and empowering journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
