Hej! 

I’m Fanny, a full spectrum doula and birth keeper, passionate about all things birth.

For as long as I can remember I dreamt of working within the birthing world - but it took me a while to make it reality!

Originally from Sweden, with a stint in France, I now call London home.
I live in East London with my partner, our two children, and our furry friend, Margaret Scratcher.

I’ve always been passionate about birth and matrescence. After briefly dipping my toes in birthwork, working in a midwife led unit, life took me onto a different path. I ended up working in fashion and talent management for many years - but the birth world remained a quiet but constant presence in the back of my mind. It wasn’t until I had my second child that I felt ready to finally explore making this work a reality.

My own experiences of two very different births shaped not only my journey into motherhood, but also my desire to support others through theirs. I’m particularly passionate about supporting those considering VBAC, homebirth, and those navigating birth after trauma.

I believe our experience of birth can shape who we become.

Feeling respected, informed, and heard can have a profound impact - not only on the postnatal period, but on our wider lives and our relationship with our baby.

I’ve supported many different births, including hospital, home, VBACs and caesareans. Every birth has taught me something, and I bring that experience to the people I support.

I’m passionate about feeding and have my own lived experience of it, as well as navigating unexpected turns in postpartum. These experiences shape the way I work. My approach is always trauma-informed, and I want the people I support to feel heard, respected and listened to.

When I am not working I am probably gardening - another big passion of mine! A constant reminder of patience and the changes of seasons. Whenever I am not outdoors with my kids, you'll find me in the sofa with a book and a glass of wine.

If you feel we might be a good match, don’t hesitate to reach out here or via my website: www.e17birthhouse.com.

What others have said about working together with me:

“Fanny played an essential role in my pregnancy journey. She educated us on what was my right and how to deal with unexpected things during the birth. We built trust on each other and on the birth day she was giving me all her strength and patience ultimately making that the best day of our lives for me and my partner. After birth she's kept helping us with all the stress as new parents and she was always available for us even for a simple concern such as nappy rash! She's helped a lot for breastfeeding too which turned being very challenging. Would recommend Fanny especially to first time mums confused of the many things happening during this experience “ -P&J

 “Fanny was everything my family needed when our son entered the world. She created such a safe space for us to find our feet together in those first 4-6 weeks. We will forever be grateful. Thank you so much!” - B & J

“Fanny was excellent. She arrived promptly and was supportive with different techniques and coping strategies. She advocated for us when doctors wanted to do interventions we did not want. She helped me stay calm and I believe that due to her support we avoided another instrumental birth. She made what would have been another overly medicalised birth a positive and empowering experience” - V&J

“Such a blessing to have Fanny with us. Supportive, tough, considerate and effective advice. Always fighting our corner and wanting what is best for baby and mama. Fanny’s support was invaluable” - L&B

"I simply wouldn’t have had the restorative, healing home birth I longed for without Fanny’s help. The importance of having Fanny, as a champion, an advocate and a research fountain cannot be overstated. She understands how to successfully navigate the maternity system. She was also unwavering in her confidence in my ability to HBAC and know how to push through. I’m so grateful to have had Fanny’s help in my birth journey." - L&J

"Fanny gave us holistic and comprehensive support - before, during and after the birth. She provided much-needed reassurance and advice when I needed it, and gave me confidence in advocating for my preferences. It was wonderful to have her walk alongside us on our birth journey." - C.B

"From the moment I connected with Fanny, I knew I had found someone special. She made me feel safe, supported, and completely validated every step of the way. Her calm, grounded energy helped me trust my body and my choices — I’ve never felt more heard or seen. Fanny’s presence, wisdom, and compassion transformed my birth experience. I cannot recommend her enough" - M.S

"Thank you so much for all the support and giving me the strength to feel like I was able to birth the way I wanted to. I still couldn’t believe it — it felt like a dream, especially because of how quickly it went. Even in the midst of the chaos and pain, I felt relief and happiness. I will forever be grateful." - S
