About

Hi, I'm Alexandra.

I'm a psychologist and Certified HypnoBirthing® Educator. The birth of my son deeply changed the way I see birth, motherhood and emotional support. Through HypnoBirthing®, I discovered how powerful calm preparation, education, breathing, relaxation and emotional safety can be during pregnancy and birth.

My approach is gentle, mindful and supportive. I help mothers and families prepare for birth with more confidence, trust and connection.

with warmth,Alexandra
