HI THERE!
MY NAME IS LOUISE,
I AM SWEDISH/NORWEGIAN LIVING IN KARLSTAD, SWEDEN, WITH MY AUSTRALIAN HUSBAND AND OUR TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS
I work as a women’s health physiotherapist, doula, and yoga teacher. I have a bachelor in Physiotherapy from the University of Copenhagen and I’ve always had an interest for the women’s health field. After my graduation I naturally proceeded to specialize and become a pelvic health physical therapist. In my work as a women’s health physiotherapist I help and support women regarding physical concerns they may have in the pelvic - and vaginal area. If you want to know more about my work and how I support women, go to offerings and read more about some of the common issues I see in my practice.
Alongside my studies to become a physiotherapist I also became a birth doula. But I quickly realized that I wanted to be able to support women and couples, not just in the birth space, but through the entire journey, from early pregnancy, birth, postpartum and onwards. The second doula training I went through was a much more comprehensive doula course which ran over a years’ time. In this course we covered pregnancy, birth preparation, birth support, postpartum care and so much more. After having finished that course, I felt more than equipped to support women and couples through this very special journey.
I have been a yoga teacher for over 10 years and it has been more than just a physical practice and a job to me. It has been one of my go-to self care practices for both mental, emotional and physical balance. As I devoloped into the women’s health and doula field, I naturally wanted to become a prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher. This has been a way to guide and support pregnant women in preparation for birth, both physically and mentally, as well as helping new mothers navigate after birth with their little one.
I am truly passionate about supporting women through all their life phases and whatever challenges they may encounter. This passion has been a part of me long before having my own children, but it definately grew stronger after the birth of my first daughter.
Going through pregnancy, birth and the time following, is truly a transformational journey on so many levels. Feeling informed and knowing your options in preparation for birth can make all the difference to your experience, both you as the birthing mother, your partner and the little one joining you earth side.
Having the right support is therefore very important. That someone who can guide, inform, educate, advocate, calm and reassure you (and your partner!), when you need it.
Birth is a sacred and beautiful event and it is something to look forward to, not fear. It is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life, so lets prepare you for it! Set yourself up to have the birth experience you envision for yourself. Claim your own birth.
