Since 2013 I've been accompanying women and couples through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. With experience, a loving heart, and a firm belief: you know best what you need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549015621399-YY1Z3FSYBTWYGOXMSMH1/blob Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - What I do for you A doula is neither a midwife nor a therapist – she is your personal companion. I'm there for you when you need someone to listen during pregnancy. I hold your hand during labour and reassure your partner when they don’t know how to help. And in the postpartum weeks, when everything feels new and overwhelming, I'm simply there. I get to know you – your wishes, your fears, your circumstances. Together we develop your birth plan and I help you ask the right questions: of your doctor, your midwife, your hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1541868625914-0EPYCVEW4DYXCM2JYMOD/girl-in-a-lightbulb-626084-unsplash_vienna.jpg Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Birth location: one of the most important decisions you'll make Your choice of birth location largely determines how much say you have in what happens. Here is an honest overview: Public Hospital You are entitled to good care – but there is little continuity. Midwives change with shifts, and you may share their attention with other labouring women. Two Vienna hospitals still offer the private midwife model – it's worth asking about this early. Private Hospital More flexibility, more say. You can bring your own midwife. This makes a significant difference – especially if she already knows you and your wishes. Birth Centre or Home Birth The most personal option. Your midwife is with you throughout, and you decide on the atmosphere and the course of events yourself. For uncomplicated pregnancies, this is a safe and well-researched choice. Important: Austrian law requires a qualified midwife to be present at every birth. Unassisted births are not permitted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549015695826-GLFCNVXVNOWE4MURY7KO/blob Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Plan your birth – before labour begins The birth you hope for doesn't start in the delivery room. It starts with decisions you make during pregnancy: Where do you want to give birth? Who do you want by your side? What are your wishes – and how do you communicate them? I guide you through this process. Together we create a birth plan that carries your voice – and I help you advocate for it with your birth team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549015809183-R6DRC00C8DS1SP9X1ILN/blob Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Trauma and difficult birth experiences Many of the women who come to me are not pregnant for the first time. Behind that decision there is often a birth that did not go the way they had imagined. Obstetric violence, lack of respect, a feeling of powerlessness – these are not isolated cases. And they leave marks. As a doula, I know specialist support services in Vienna: therapists, psychiatric clinics for pregnant women and new mothers, mindful obstetricians , osteopaths and other forms of support. You don't have to carry this alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549015876157-M8Z75N2SPBMZF5P33SWS/blob Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Trust yourself. Perhaps you know this feeling: something doesn't feel right, but you don't want to be "difficult." You don't want to stand out or ask for too much. But inside you there is a sensor that tells you when a companion, a doctor or a situation is not right for you. That sensor is right. And I'm here to help you listen to it. https://www.viennadoula.com/about daily 0.75 2026-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549555951262-R01Z30L7Q1XB71O26ISW/lobostudio-hamburg-33671-unsplash.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1626087792862-1SES6MXIKD3ABJSCH63P/DSC07823.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1543388709158-WVNAA3H4J1Z7ZIWS7E77/goldresize1500px.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/d21fb63d-41d6-4aec-bdbe-42c7d2dd5c9d/DoulaKollektiv-ENG-gold.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/6d41f664-2c1b-4967-b6a7-3be431548ccf/DSC04311.jpg About https://www.viennadoula.com/testimonial daily 0.75 2023-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549556281226-N3ZSF4VTB0XDCWMZ9R5C/david-siglin-87982-unsplash.jpg Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/e7b9129c-dc95-448d-990b-007d2be7185a/AminaBaby.jpg Testimonials - Hope You are such a loving person. I don't even know how to show my gratitude. All that support, guidance and just being there for me... That helped me a lot. I did not have the right attitude and no hope of a normal and natural birth. Although the birth didn't go as planned, I am still able to hold my child in my arms today and am not traumatized or stressed by my birth. Luckily, breastfeeding isn't a problem either. Feeding him and feeling his satisfaction is such a great joy for me. I firmly believe that attitude has a huge impact on your destiny. If I ever get pregnant again, I would love to have you with me again.

I felt reassured from our first meeting in May and have not looked back on the decision to work with you. You understood my birth plan so well, and made every step of the journey run more smoothly. Your confidence and positivity has been contagious and I’m eternally grateful that my two older children were so well cared for during our third baby’s arrival. S, mom from England, third baby in September 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1599046433836-Y2FAUQQXR9587ZP3BT8I/Joy_Family.png Testimonials - Birthing in Vienna We are an American family living in Hungary for two years for my husband's job. When we found out that I was expecting, we decided that the quality of care I could receive in Vienna was something we desired. Since we did not know a whole lot about Vienna and needed help navigating all the choices that go along with pregnancy (as well as the actual delivery) in a culture that we are not familiar with, we chose to hire a doula. Little did we know at the time, we found the best doula in all of Vienna - there is no doubt about it! Barbara went above and beyond to help us have the best birth experience possible. In the midst of loads of uncertainty during the Covid pandemic, we knew with certainty that Barbara would do all that she could to help us throughout my pregnancy and during the birth. We ended up having all our hopes come true in the birth. A healthy baby and a natural delivery with no complications were both outcomes of our experience. Barbara was extremely supportive during labor and very intuitive in how to offer the best support throughout each stage of labor. In the weeks leading up to the birth, Barbara met with me to do stretches and postures that helped the baby to engage in order to be ready for the delivery. She was a delight to have at the birth and incredibly supportive. We cannot speak highly enough about her. She’s the best! We will be forever grateful. J & A, August 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1599479125861-TZDZ4CFLKZJ7T5URNLMM/Marta_I_2020.bearb.jpg Testimonials - Trust in natural birth Barbara came across my life in one of the most emotionally challenging time but she was the right person who truly listened. After our first conversation I remember thinking to myself that I couldn't imagine a better person who could really understood me. Barbara was my hero - physical, emotional and informative support before and after birth when I most needed it especially during Covid-19 and being left alone in foreign country. Even though my birth didn't go as I expected, having Barbara next to me made it a much better experience. I am grateful for Barbara's trust in me that I was able to give birth naturally. Unfortunately at the beginning I didn't feel much help nor supportive attitude from the stuff at the hospital but Barbara was always by my side. And additionally now I have the most special photos in my life. I can't thank her enough for her warmth, professionalism and empathy. And by the way her exercises really works because the labor started later that evening. I truly can say that she inspires doing more good in this world despite sharp turns of destiny. She has lovely family and I can really say that she is a role model mom. M., Latvian mom, July 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1561386636031-LZS5HLRGWOGJQSZU794W/Barbara_Aufwachraum.jpg Testimonials - Inner Strength Dear Barbara, I want to thank you many times for your support during my pregnancy but especially during birth! Right from the beginning I have felt comfortable with you and well taken care of. You have shared my views and wishes regarding natural birth and could give me important tips and advice. To have you by my side has boosted my inner strength and my self-confidence, so that I could implement my wishes during birth. Because of the birth plan that we created together, I had a clear concept of what I did and did not want. But you still always supported my decision even if I ended up changing my mind during birth. I just knew that you had my back at all times which gave me a feeling of security. To be able to only concentrate on myself but to know that I could always call on you for support was an unparalleled experience. The calm experience that you eminate has increased my trust in the natural birth process. Now, looking back at my birth I can say that it was truly a one of a kind experience. Strenuous but still beautiful. Thank you that you have been a part of it!

An experienced, certified doula will charge between 800 and 1500 Euros for a birth and her package (ask what that package is). A new doula might charge less or even just ask you to cover her expenses in order to gain more experience. All of our Austrian DiA Doulas have received extensive training, have their hearts in the right place and follow the organization’s ethics code. Personally, I have found that money is not always the deciding factor on whether I take on a client or not. I believe that women, no matter their financial situation, do deserve to be supported by a doula.

Ich bin für dich da, wenn du in der Schwangerschaft ein offenes Ohr brauchst. Ich halte deine Hand während der Geburt und beruhige deinen Partner, wenn er nicht weiß, wie er helfen soll. Und im Wochenbett, wenn alles neu und überwältigend ist, bin ich einfach da. Ich lerne dich kennen – deine Wünsche, deine Ängste, dein Umfeld. Gemeinsam erarbeiten wir deinen Geburtsplan und ich helfe dir, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen: an deinen Arzt, deine Hebamme, das Krankenhaus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1541868625914-0EPYCVEW4DYXCM2JYMOD/girl-in-a-lightbulb-626084-unsplash_vienna.jpg Copy of Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Wo willst du dein Baby zur Welt bringen? Headline: Geburtsort: eine der wichtigsten Entscheidungen Die Wahl des Geburtsortes bestimmt maßgeblich, wie viel Mitsprache du hast. Hier ein ehrlicher Überblick: Öffentliches Krankenhaus Du hast Anspruch auf gute Versorgung – aber wenig Kontinuität. Hebammen wechseln mit den Schichten, und du teilst dir womöglich ihre Aufmerksamkeit mit anderen Gebärenden. Im Moment erlauben die Wiener öffentlichen Krankenhäuser keine zweite Begleitperson. Privatspital Mehr Flexibilität, mehr Mitsprache. Du kannst deine Doula als zweite Begleitperson mitnehmen UND gerne auch zusätzlich zur eigenen Hebamme. Geburtshaus oder Hausgeburt Die persönlichste Variante. Deine Hebamme ist durchgehend für dich da, du entscheidest selbst über Atmosphäre und Ablauf. Wichtig: In Österreich besteht eine gesetzliche Hebammenbeiziehungspflicht. Alleingeburten sind nicht erlaubt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549014920060-IFP4IZS9K73ZD9WX5UPA/blob Copy of Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Plane deine Geburt – bevor die Wehen beginnen Eine Geburt, die du dir wünschst, beginnt nicht im Kreißsaal. Sie beginnt mit Entscheidungen, die du in der Schwangerschaft triffst: Welchen Geburtsort möchtest du? Wen möchtest du an deiner Seite? Was sind deine Wünsche – und wie kommunizierst du sie? Ich begleite dich durch diesen Prozess. Wir erarbeiten zusammen einen Geburtsplan, der deine Stimme trägt – und ich helfe dir, ihn gegenüber deinem Geburtsteam zu vertreten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549015038352-9K7GXMZ0G9HJY3BEWHAA/blob Copy of Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Trauma und schwierige Geburtserfahrungen Viele Frauen, die zu mir kommen, sind nicht zum ersten Mal schwanger. Hinter dieser Entscheidung steckt oft eine vorangegangene Geburt, die nicht so war, wie sie sich das vorgestellt hatten. Gewalt unter der Geburt, mangelnder Respekt, das Gefühl von Hilflosigkeit – das sind keine Einzelfälle. Und sie hinterlassen Spuren. Ich kenne spezialisierte Anlaufstellen in Wien: Therapeutinnen, Psychiatrien für Schwangere und Wöchnerinnen, Gynäkologinnen mit besonderem Einfühlungsvermögen, Osteopathen und andere Unterstützungsangebote. Du musst das nicht alleine tragen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549015340825-UBQL6R7ESCEB1QHMV560/blob Copy of Doula Services Vienna Pregnancy Birth Postpartum - Hör auf dich! Vielleicht kennst du dieses Gefühl: Irgendetwas stimmt nicht, aber du willst nicht „schwierig" sein. Du willst nicht auffallen, nicht zu viel verlangen. Doch in dir steckt ein Sensor, der dir sagt, wenn eine Begleitperson, ein Arzt oder eine Situation nicht das Richtige für dich ist. Dieser Sensor hat recht.

Ich weiß gar nicht wie ich meine Dankbarkeit zeigen kann. Diese ganze Unterstützung, Begleitung und einfach, dass du für mich da warst…. Das hat mir sehr viel geholfen. Ich hatte keine besonders positive Einstellung und daher keine Hoffnung auf eine normale und natürliche Geburt. Obwohl die Geburt nicht so ganz nach Plan gelaufen ist, habe ich heute trotzdem mein Kind in die Arme nehmen können und bin nicht traumatisiert oder belastet von meiner Geburt. Glücklicherweise ist das Stillen auch kein Problem. Ihn satt zu machen und seine Zufriedenheit zu spüren ist so eine große Freude für mich.

Your confidence and positivity has been contagious and I’m eternally grateful that my two older children were so well cared for during our third baby’s arrival.

When we found out that I was expecting, we decided that the quality of care I could receive in Vienna was something we desired. Since we did not know a whole lot about Vienna and needed help navigating all the choices that go along with pregnancy (as well as the actual delivery) in a culture that we are not familiar with, we chose to hire a doula. Little did we know at the time, we found the best doula in all of Vienna - there is no doubt about it! Barbara went above and beyond to help us have the best birth experience possible. In the midst of loads of uncertainty during the Covid pandemic, we knew with certainty that Barbara would do all that she could to help us throughout my pregnancy and during the birth. We ended up having all our hopes come true in the birth. A healthy baby and a natural delivery with no complications were both outcomes of our experience. Barbara was extremely supportive during labor and very intuitive in how to offer the best support throughout each stage of labor. In the weeks leading up to the birth, Barbara met with me to do stretches and postures that helped the baby to engage in order to be ready for the delivery. She was a delight to have at the birth and incredibly supportive. We cannot speak highly enough about her. She’s the best! We will be forever grateful.

After our first conversation I remember thinking to myself that I couldn't imagine a better person who could really understood me. Barbara was my hero - physical, emotional and informative support before and after birth when I most needed it especially during Covid-19 and being left alone in foreign country. Even though my birth didn't go as I expected, having Barbara next to me made it a much better experience. I am grateful for Barbara's trust in me that I was able to give birth naturally. Unfortunately at the beginning I didn't feel much help nor supportive attitude from the stuff at the hospital but Barbara was always by my side. And additionally now I have the most special photos in my life. I can't thank her enough for her warmth, professionalism and empathy. And by the way her exercises really works because the labor started later that evening. I truly can say that she inspires doing more good in this world despite sharp turns of destiny. She has lovely family and I can really say that she is a role model mom.

Von Anfang an habe ich mich bei dir gleich total wohl und gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Du hast meine Ansichten und Wünsche zu einer natürlichen Geburt geteilt und konntest mir gute Tipps und Ratschläge geben. Dich an meiner Seite zu wissen hat meine innerliche Kraft und mein Selbstbewusstsein gestärkt, sodass ich meine Wünsche bei der Geburt umsetzen konnte. Durch den gemeinsam erstellten Geburtsplan hatte ich eine klare Vorstellung was ich möchte und was nicht. Dennoch hast du mich jederzeit unterstützt, auch wenn ich während der Geburt etwas doch anders wollte. Ich wusste einfach jederzeit dass du hinter mir stehst, was mir viel Sicherheit gab. Mich nur auf mich konzentrieren und deine Hilfe bei Bedarf in Anspruch nehmen zu können, war eine einmalige Erfahrung. Die Ruhe und Erfahrung die du mitbringst und ausstrahlst hat auch mein Vertrauen in den natürlichen Prozess der Geburt gestärkt. Wenn ich jetzt auf meine Geburt zurück blicke, kann ich sagen es war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis. Anstrengend und doch wunderschön. Danke dass du ein Teil davon warst!

We have all managed to rest following Friday's gruelling delivery. The little Chap has started breastfeeding today. We hope that you too have had a chance to recuperate from the very long and intensive labour and birthing episode ; you did much of the "heavy lifting", for which both my wife and I are most grateful. Your presence made a very meaningful and tangible difference!

Enthalten: Kostenloses Erstgespräch (persönlich oder online) – kein Risiko, kein Druck Schwangerschaftstreffen nach deinen Bedürfnissen (üblicherweise zwei, inkl. Geburtsplan) Erreichbarkeit per Telefon oder Messenger – wann immer du mich brauchst Bereitschaftsdienst zwischen der 38. und 42. Schwangerschaftswoche (24/7) Backup-Doula, falls ich bei einer anderen Geburt bin oder krank werde Geburt und Begleitung beim ersten Stillen Wochenbettbesuch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549017597955-MP807PA62U7V9S31X4BJ/blob Copy of What I offer - PAKET 2: Begleitung vor der Schwangerschaft Du denkst an eine Schwangerschaft und möchtest gut vorbereitet sein? Frühzeitige Planung macht einen riesigen Unterschied. Themen, die wir besprechen können: Begleitung bei Fertilitätsproblemen Geburtsort, Begleitung und Versicherung – was wann zu klären ist Was die Sozialversicherung übernimmt Wann du einen Spitalsplatz und eine Hebamme reservieren solltest Deine Rechte am Arbeitsplatz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549018148754-3JVMPFQ2NILZ7YUHS8Y3/blob Copy of What I offer - Zusatzleistungen Manchmal braucht es mehr als Geburtsbegleitung. Ich helfe auch bei: Unterstützung bei der Auswahl von Krankenhaus, Ärztin und Hebamme in Wien Organisation von Kinderbetreuung während der Geburt Hundesitting für hundeverträgliche Hunde Weitere Wochenbettbesuche und Postpartum-Begleitung https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549017992567-BTRFDWG56AXC29QQN5HG/blob Copy of What I offer - KOSTEN & ZUGÄNGLICHKEIT Ich glaube, dass alle Frauen das Recht auf gute Geburtsbegleitung haben – unabhängig von ihrer finanziellen Situation. Erfahrene, zertifizierte Doulas in Österreich verlangen üblicherweise zwischen 1000 und 1.800 Euro für ein Begleitungspaket. Schreib mir einfach – und wir finden gemeinsam eine Lösung, die für dich funktioniert. Tipp: Eine Zusatzversicherung kann einen Teil der Kosten übernehmen, selbst, wenn du sie in der Schwangerschaft abschließt. Und: Viele Familien wünschen sich einen Zuschuss zu den Geburtskosten als Babygeschenk – eine wunderbare Idee. https://www.viennadoula.com/testimonials-1 daily 0.75 2021-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1549555307021-B7JKUNB0XS45BSEM57GN/david-siglin-87982-unsplash.jpg Copy of Testimonials (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1626087491384-1N0B66WLDEF58Y7I16BK/Wochenbettbegleitung_Alexandra.jpg Copy of Testimonials (Copy) - Kochen in Schwangerschaft, Wochenbett und Stillzeit DI Alexandra Jesch-Böhnhardt +43/664 469 31 21 kontakt@puntarella.at www.puntarella.at https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bce912a11f784579716d3cb/1626087443126-VYYD4LK3HP2OJ0MO1Y4P/Koch_Roberto.jpg Copy of Testimonials (Copy) - Private Chef Roberto Cardenas Franz Professioneller Italienischer Koch (LAP) spezialisiert auf traditionell Italienische Küche aber mit Erfahrung in veganer und vegetarischer Küche weltweit von Indien bis Chile.
