Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Peggy's journey to midwifery began at a young age when she whispered to her mother, "I'm going to be a midwife when I grow up" upon her younger sister's birth. After initially pursuing a different path, her calling was reignited when she became a mother herself.
Peggy's formal midwifery education started in 2007, following an apprenticeship in a renowned Berlin hospital's labor and delivery room. She holds a midwifery diploma from 2011 and is a firm advocate for informed consent throughout the birthing process.
In 2015, Peggy made a significant move to California, leaving behind her German midwifery license but embracing a new chapter in her journey. She gave birth to her fourth child in 2018, a cherished experience supported by local midwives.
Peggy's extensive credentials include being a certified CAPPA birth doula, DONA trained postpartum doula, certified Lamaze childbirth educator, and a 200-hour certified yoga teacher. She is currently enrolled with the National Midwifery Institute, working toward becoming a certified professional midwife (CPM) with hopes of obtaining a California license.
Peggy's passion for midwifery and her commitment to maternal and child well-being drive her work, and she is dedicated to serving the Southern California community. Her story is one of resilience, passion, and a deep love for her chosen path.
