My name is Andrea. I am originally from Switzerland but have been living in different parts of this world. Traveling has been and is very important to me and to meet different cultures. For the moment we are in Barcelona. My partner John is from the USA. We have 2 boys. 6 and 2 years old.
I am very passionate about my job as a Doula and support women and their partners. Women find their strength and believe in themselves. They have an informed and confident birth. They know their rights. They decide how to birth their baby. 🥰
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
With curiosity. Always ready to get out of my comfort zone. To learn, accept and grow.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
I am a hula hoop dancer/ fire performer. I am a singer and my partner and I have our band. Performing our own written songs. In the past in NYC and now in Barcelona. We are called JoAnn & Friends.
I am organizing for the last 3 years now a Babymoon Festival. In the South of France. Where couples spend 3 days together to learn about their birth and to connect as a couple!! I love bringing people together from all over the world
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
Women rights when it comes to their own birth and body. (Doula)
How to keep a strong relationship with kids. (I am having a Coaching degree)
I studied Intercultural Communication (MAS). I will always give an advice/ help from this point of view.
