More About Me... My Journey as a Midwife and Lactation Consultant
When I started studying midwifery out of sheer curiosity in 2002, I had no idea how much this profession would become part of me and where it would guide me on my life’s journey. I remember it as if it were yesterday—the first time I cared for a woman in labor and was able to welcome her little boy into the world alongside her. Over time, I discovered what this field truly entails during my studies and through work in hospitals, clinics, and outpatient centers in the Czech Republic, as well as in Scotland and France.
Several years have passed since then, and I continue to support and guide women on their journey to pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. I currently work in a gynecology clinic while also serving as a private midwife. I also accompany women through the postpartum period, focusing particularly on breastfeeding.
An integral part of my practice is preparing women and their partners for childbirth. Years ago, I created a prenatal course designed to provide expectant parents with professional information about pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Over time, I have adapted the course to meet the individual needs of future parents.
The preparation is full of inspiration and practical advice, tested through real-life experience and stories.
I offer comprehensive prenatal preparation, helping parents approach pregnancy and the arrival of their baby with confidence, and easing fears about childbirth.
My daily reward is seeing happy, confident families who understand their needs and have answers to their questions.
My Journey to Coaching
The period of pregnancy, childbirth, and especially the postpartum period is one of the most beautiful times in life for most expectant parents. However, for many, it is also one of the most challenging.
As a midwife, I am convinced that an important part of my work is caring for the woman’s mental well-being. Often, women had concerns and stress in areas where my professional knowledge had its limits. I tried to calm them empathetically with words like, “Don’t worry, you’ll manage!” I offered advice on what might be the best solution for them. But this didn’t always work. Sometimes I felt that even though my work fulfilled me and I considered it a calling, there were times when I felt exhausted and helpless.
I realized that even though pregnant women are in excellent care with various specialists, attend different classes, receive massages, and take prenatal courses with their partners, this type of support alone often isn’t enough. They also need to focus on themselves, on their own intuition.
I thought for a long time about how to improve this care—how to better support women and their families while maintaining my own inner balance.
And more ...
My perspective changed when I encountered coaching and read a sentence: “Coaches are like midwives on your journey to yourself and your goals.” This resonated with me so deeply that I decided to attend a coaching school.
During my studies, I tried the coaching approach on myself. At that time, I was going through a sensitive personal period—suddenly I was turning forty, my daughter was entering adolescence, and I felt pressure and stress in both my personal and professional life. That was when I experienced how supportive coaching can be—I learned to pause, listen to myself, and find my own strength and balance.
Now I know that coaching can offer women and their families support that goes deeper than mere advice—a support that strengthens their ability to face changes and handle challenging periods, not only during pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood, but in other life situations as well.
I help women (and their partners) during pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood to trust their intuition and learn to confidently step into the new roles that motherhood brings. Coaching allows them to experience change with ease and perspective, and it allows me to be a true support on their journey.
