When I first arrived in Geneva,

I found myself standing at the edge of a new beginning, with no knowledge of the language, no connections in the birth community, and no understanding of how the local maternity healthcare system worked. As a doula, I envisioned a network—a circle of like-minded professionals who shared my passion for supporting physiological birth, and who embraced alternative and complementary health practices in place of conventional Western medicine.

I began to meet a handful of remarkable providers—midwives, acupuncturists, chiropractors, therapists—all dedicated to nurturing women through pregnancy and postpartum with a holistic approach. I made a list of those whose philosophy resonated with my own, imagining them as the ideal birth team I would choose for myself. With each new name, my vision of a comprehensive resource began to take shape.

Months passed and I realized that there was a genuine need for such a directory. One conversation led to another, and soon I shared my vision with Erica and Emi, whose expertise and networks made it all happen. Together, we wove our talents and knowledge into something greater than we could have imagined alone, bringing The Directory to life in just a few short months.

I am deeply grateful for these two women—whose support and collaboration turned an idea into a tangible, living resource—and for the opportunity to share The Directory as a free gift to women in need of compassionate, holistic care during one of life’s most profound journeys.”
