Giving birth together

with Imke Albrecht

I am here for you. From pregnancy to postpartum.

formerly known as:

Since 2001

I’ve been a midwife for more than 25 years!

More than birth preparation

I am a midwife, breastfeeding consultant & birth preparer, but also a yoga, Pilates & hypnobirthing course instructor.

With over 25 years of professional experience in obstetrics—having attended hundreds of births, led countless classes, and, for the past 8 years, conducted numerous home visits and breastfeeding consultations—I’ll help you prepare for your new life, supporting you with joy and dedication in a pragmatic, non-dogmatic, and honest way. Positive, but not sugarcoating. Warm, but not overly sentimental.

Birth preparation courses

Informative and practical courses for couples 4 to 10 weeks before the birth:
Day courses and private antenatal classes.

Pregnancy yoga

Feeling your body, coordinating your breathing and movements, getting and staying mentally calm – these are helpful aspects for the birth.

Postnatal courses

After giving birth, the path back to everyday life begins. Pilates postnatal courses and/or my outdoor training “Into the Wild” are perfect for this.

Testimonials

Giving birth together

Imke Albrecht

When couples become families.

Men become fathers, women become mothers. This is particularly exciting when giving birth for the first time.

With my professional experience and my own motherhood, I will help you to find your roles. I will support you with your worries and problems and always have an ear for your questions. Not always, but without specific office hours.
