Postpartum care for international families in Berlin

Hi, I’m Daphne, and this is the heart behind  Mama Mundo.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, I later called Portugal home for five years and now Berlin for six. I am 33 years old, married and a mother of two boys, Valentim and Rafael. I come from a big family, growing up with nine brothers and sisters, and I speak multiple languages: Dutch, English, German, and Portuguese. I embrace a plant based lifestyle and I am a creative finding joy in building beautiful things with my hands.

Becoming a mother for the second time has opened a new chapter in my life, shifting my priorities and deepening my understanding of what families truly need during the journey into parenthood. I know firsthand what it means to navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum far from one’s roots and family support. The language differences, cultural expectations, and the absence of close family nearby can make this time both profoundly transformative and emotionally demanding. My own experiences through birth and early motherhood have shown me how deeply families deserve to feel supported, understood, and held during this transition.

Alongside my certification training as a postpartum doula, I bring an evidence-based and grounded approach, paired with lived experience, deep listening, and practical, nurturing care tailored to you and your family. It’s a deeply meaningful way to walk alongside parents as they meet new life, new identity, and new beginnings, especially when doing so across borders and without their familiar circle of support.
