In my wonderful clients’ own words

I am so thankful that my husband and I were connected with Verena and had her support during my first pregnancy. She is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. It felt more like talking to a friend than a birth coach. She was able to be objective about our situation, provide us with excellent data and answers to our questions, and talk us through scenarios and options, even when we had to adjust our birth plan last minute. I can’t recommend her highly enough, especially if this is your first birth – she is amazing!

What makes me feel proud of my childbirth experience is my ability to stay calm and focused throughout. Despite the initial pain and the fact that some of my preferences weren't fully honored, I was able to center myself, focus on what was within my control, and carry on with strength and determination.

As a first-time mom, I found Verena’s coaching incredibly valuable and supportive. With her experience as a mother of three, she brought a wealth of knowledge and practical suggestions that made a real difference for me. I looked forward to every session—not only for the structured program, but also for the open, forum-like space where I could ask questions and discuss my concerns. This balance was instrumental in helping me navigate my pregnancy and build confidence around childbirth and newborn care. I actually found her more helpful than my birth prep classes.
Among the most helpful parts of the coaching were the breathing techniques and the sense of empowerment I gained. Verena helped me understand that there are different ways to approach childbirth, and she shed light on things that are often not talked about. These insights gave me a deeper sense of preparedness and calm.
One of the most impactful aspects was how genuine Verena was. Both my partner and I felt her sincere willingness to help. She never limited sessions strictly to an hour. Her non-judgmental approach made me feel safe, supported, and always excited for our next session.

Verena conveys incredible calmness and positivity through her coaching. Because of my experiences during my first pregnancy and birth, my second pregnancy was associated with a lot of anxiety from the very beginning. Just knowing that I didn't have to go through it alone and that there was someone there to support and understand me really helped a lot. Even though I had to have another c-section due to high-risk medical issues, I was able to remain completely calm this time around and experience a beautiful birth – in no small part thanks to Verena´s help in preparing me for my baby´s birth. I highly recommend her program to anyone who is struggling with fears.

During my second pregnancy, I realized that this time I wanted to prepare for the birth more consciously and thoroughly. My first birth in the hospital was a good and quick one.
At the same time, as a general practitioner, I had a lot of medical knowledge—and with it, many images and thoughts about birth that were always in the back of my mind.
I know Verena as a friend and colleague, but also as a woman who has experienced home births herself. This combination of medical understanding and personal experience really appealed to me. I felt that I was in good hands with her, both professionally and personally.
During the coaching sessions, we took a close look at my first birth. It was less about facts and more about the experience: what impressions remained, what felt good, and where there was still inner tension. It was very helpful for me to have a safe, clear framework for this and to be able to simply sort through my thoughts.
My husband also greatly benefitted from working with Verena. She helped him to look back on his experiences from the first birth and put them into perspective.
This helped us both to approach the upcoming birth with more calm and confidence—as a team.
The affirmations we worked out together were particularly valuable to me. They didn't feel artificial, but honest and appropriate for me. They helped me to not experience my medical knowledge as something divisive, but to connect it with trust in my body and the birth process.
Looking back, the coaching had a big impact on my home birth. I went into this birth with an inner clarity and calm that I had never experienced before. Many thoughts that would have preoccupied me in the past were simply no longer present. Instead, there was a feeling of security and confidence.
I am very grateful for this support. Coaching with Verena was valuable preparation for the birth and a real support on my journey. I would recommend it to any woman who wants to prepare for her birth in a conscious, honest, and well-supported way—regardless of where she gives birth.
