Postpartum Care
Every growing family is unique. Women and their families will receive emotional and physical support from me during those precious few weeks as you transition and settle into parenthood. My goal is to create a calm and nurturing environment for families to thrive in this new phase of life.
The Postnatal care is covered by your basic insurance:
- First baby: up to 16 visits
- Subsequent Babies: up to 10 visits

I also offer a pre-consultation, where we can get to know each other before the birth. This is 60 minutes and costs 120chf, (this is not covered by the health insurance.)
