Anouk Wehli is a trained birthworker and trauma-focused psychotherapist who has dedicated her services to supporting families through the profound transitions of birth and early parenthood. With a deep commitment to generational trauma and cultural humility, she brings an essential lens of ancestral safety and systemic awareness to the birthing and therapeutic space. Her practice is grounded in the belief that the way we are met in our earliest moments shapes our capacity for connection.

As a Nonviolent Communication Educator, Anouk supports families and professionals to develop the tools for empathetic and attuned communication, bridging the gap between autonomy and connection. Beyond her competencies as a doula and midwife, she moves within the realm of grief, providing a soft place to land for those navigating the complexities of loss and death. By weaving her professional expertise with the lived wisdom of her own home births and the transformative landscape of pregnancy loss, Anouk offers a holistic, person-centered container for recovery, post-traumatic growth, and the breaking of ancestral cycles.
