YOGA, SPECIALS, EVENTS, RETREATS

Wow, wow, wow! Just participated in Monika’s New Beginnings event, and I left with such a full and open heart. Monika is a self-care, embodiment goddess, and she has such a beautiful and authentic way to create a safe space for you to dare to go places in your relationship with yourself that you might have not dared (or maybe it just didn’t even occur to you!) to explore before. So many lovely details and simple yet profound exercises that help you deep dive in light and surprisingly simple ways. So, my whole being is looking forward to the next opportunity to practice with her.

YOGA, SPECIALS, EVENTS, RETREATS

Loved the warm and welcoming energy in this workshop. Monika has created something truly special with her openness and groundedness. So much love in all the details! Home made oils, scents, candles and even a scrub she brought from Bali. It was a multi-sensory experience that helped me connect with myself through many senses. I left the workshop feeling so at peace, centered and surprisingly closer to the other participants.

DOULA , BIRTH WORK

I totally recomed Monika. She is not only a great profesional, but a wonderful person. It was a great plesure to have her acompanying me through my pregnancy and birth preparation journey. I didn´t had a good experience during the first birth and Monika achieved (through her sessions) that approached my second birth with full motivation, calmity and without fears.After each session I was feeling both full of energy and inner peace. She was as well always available to answer any question, guide me or provide specific information.

YOGA

Monika has been great in my pregnancy journey. From the prenatal yoga classes in English to the one on one consultation she gave my partner and I on how to approach the birth, I cannot recommend her enough. Her calm energy and positive disposition has made me feel at ease and I look forward to continue with her postnatal classes!

1:1 HOLISTIC WELLNESS SESSIONS, BIRTH PREP

I got pregnant very soon after arriving to Germany from the US. Without speaking the language and not knowing much about the system, it was really hard to go through this incredibly important process of the pregnancy. I was not able to find a midwife, so I was having a hard time the first months of pregnancy until my husband surprised me with a Doula session with Monika. She gave me the peace I needed during the first difficult months and gave me support during the whole pregnancy. Monika uses a complete combination of body and mind techniques to relief pain and anxiety that helped me a lot, from yoga to ancestral techniques from different cultures. Every session with Monika felt like a reset and I felt full of energy and trust afterwards. Furthermore, I think that Monika goes above and beyond to make you feel her support. She showed genuine care, she checked on me even when she was on vacations, and it really felt like family.

Ich bin so dankbar auf Monika als doula gestossen zu sein. Sie war für eine Schwangerschaftsmassage bei mir daheim & ich habe dann mit meinem Mann einen Geburtsvorbereitungskurs (eine Einheit) bei ihr in der Praxis gemacht.
Monikas Blick und Umgang mit Geburt hat mir so wahnsinnig viel gegeben. Vor allem Ruhe. Zuversicht und Sicherheit.
Sie hat mir und meine Mann Übungen für die letzten Wochen der Schwangerschaft und für während der Geburt gezeigt. Ich habe schon längere Zeit starke Rückenschmerzen (über Monate) und alleine diese 1 1/2 Stunden haben mir körperlich so sehr geholfen.
Ich bin so wahnsinnig dankbar dass wir auf Monika getroffen sind in diesem Prozess.

DOULA

As a husband and birth partner, I learned how to better support my wife during the birth of our second kid. With Monika we practiced some pain relief techniques and some ways to keep my wife emotionally strong during labor.

DOULA

I can recommend Monika from the bottom of my heart. She came to my rescue after I was not able to find a midwife in Hamburg for the birth of my second child. Now the only thing I regret is that I didn’t hire her for my first one, too! She is very kind, knowledgeable and thanks to her me and my partner had a wonderful birthing experience.

DOULA

I hired Monika as my doula for my second pregnancy and gave birth to my baby boy in December 2019. I don’t know how I ever had my first child without a doula! Monika gave me the extra bit of female support that I needed during pregnancy and labor without my UK family being close by. I wanted a friend and a sister with me for the birth and she was a lot more.
She is knowledgeable, kind, understanding and practical. She completed the team that I needed for the birth, along with my partner, and gave us a wonderful birthing experience.
I couldn’t find a midwife for my second pregnancy but I felt secure knowing that I had Monika’s support and that she offers aftercare visits too.

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Monika als Doula bei meiner zweiten Geburt war eine wunderbare und heilsame Erfahrung.
Sie half mir, das Trauma meiner ersten (Kaiserschnitt-)Geburt zu überwinden. Ich wusste nicht einmal, dass ich immer noch ein Trauma habe. Sie stellte die richtigen Fragen und wusste, woran wir arbeiten müssen, um sicherzustellen, dass die erste Geburtserfahrung die zweite nicht blockiert. Sie half mir auch einen Geburtsplan zu erstellen.
Monika gab mir wundervolle Massagen um mich in den letzten Wochen der Schwangerschaft zu entspannen und die durch den Bauch verursachten Schmerzen zu lindern. Sie führte Ganzkörpermassagen, Aromatherapie, Akupressur und Moxa-Behandlungen durch. In der zweiten Behandlungssitzung bereitete sie mich und meinen Körper mit Atemtechniken und individuellen Übungen wie Babyspinning etc. auf die Geburt vor.
Sie bot mir an, an ihren pränatalen Yogakursen teilzunehmen.
Und natürlich hat Monika meine Geburt begleitet. Ich kann mir im Nachhinein keine bessere Geburtsbegleiterin vorstellen. Sie war meine Stimme, wenn ich während der Geburt nicht in der Lage war mit der Hebamme zu sprechen. Sie kannte meine Geburtsvorlieben genau. Sie hat mich massiert, mit mir geatmet und mich gehalten.
Sie bot mir an, anschließend über die Geburt zu sprechen. Es war sehr interessant zu sehen, wie unterschiedlich wir sie wahrgenommen haben. Außerdem hat Monika mir eine wunderbare postnatale Massage gegeben.
Durch Monika wurde meine Geburt einfach wunderschön.
