I'm Jutta, an International Midwife for 38 years, NLP Trainer, Founder of Elements of Birth, Best-selling Author of Happy Birthing Days and International Speaker on “Positive Birth Psychology” and “Out of Trauma into Happiness". I have consulted over 10,000 women in my program Happy Birthing Days and I have welcomed over 3,000 babies into the world.
You see, I’m on o mission to change women’s perception and experience of birth. After over 2 decades of observing why some women had a happier birth than others, I realised that childbirth education was not educating and empowering women to use their mind, body and hormones to their birthing advantage; nor was it involving birthing partners in the birth preparation.
Background:
Certified as a midwife in Germany in 1986, Jutta has worked in hospitals in Germany, New Zealand and Australia. She supports women with home birthing and helps to facilitate natural birth, Jutta is also qualified as well to assist in more complicated situations and with high-risk pregnancies.
Skills, Training & Experience:
Her training was based on the principles of Frédérick Leboyer in the mid 1980s. Jutta then worked as a midwife in the Martin-Luther-Hospital in Berlin for many years. In the early 1990s she facilitated water births in Berlin, and helped teaching midwife-trainees. In 1992 Jutta established homeopathy clinics for pregnant women at her hospital. In 1994 she then qualified in acupuncture with ‘Pro Medico’, and her acupuncture service for pregnant women was an immediate success. In 2005 Jutta experienced the power of hypnosis when this method helped her to give up smoking, and she began studying this skill herself. In Scarborough (UK) she qualified as hypnotherapist under Wilf Proudfoot. She started combining her HypnoBirthing skills with her natural birthing classes. In 2010 Jutta studied NLP (Neurolinguistic-programming with Richard Bandler) in Berlin and became an NLP practitioner.
Since the late 1980s Jutta has visited Australia often and after immigrating in 2007 she worked as a midwife in the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and independently. She also began to intensify her own yoga practice, became a yoga teacher, and later qualified to teach pregnancy yoga.
In 2010 Jutta studied Hormone Yoga® with Dinah Rodriguez and became a qualified practitioner of this therapy, which helps the changing female body.
Jutta is certain that these various therapies offer wonderful opportunities to support women’s health and a natural birth. She combines her experience and skills to meet her client’s needs, wishes and individual situation.
