Hey, my name is Kjell (pronouns: she/her).

I'm queer and cis and part of the collective since we were founded in 2019. 2020 I've completed my midwife training (B.Sc. Midwifery). Before that, I studied Educational Sciences and Gender Studies and have worked, amongst other things, in the field of sexual education.

To co-found Cocoon during my midwife training has been a great source of strength for my midwifery work. It means a lot to me to be able to care for families-to-be in their process and especially during homebirth. Politically it's important to me to work for midwifery becoming more intersectional, queer-feminist and trans-inclusive, and that autonomy and self-determination of the pregnant and birthing person is the center of care.

I speak German and English.

Hej, I am Juliane/Jul (my pronoun is she/her).

Berlin is my hometown, since 2015 I live here permanently again and since October 2020 I work as a freelance midwife in out-of-hospital settings, first in a birth center and now since March 2022 in Cocoon Midwives* Collective. Sometimes I can hardly comprehend that I get to be a midwife and accompany people through this transformative time of pregnancy, during birth and in the postpartum period. In a time of multi-layered changes, to be allowed to be part of and just to be there, to be able to create a safe space and to see people in their individuality means a lot to me.I am very much looking forward to the upcoming collaboration, encounters and experiences at Cocoon.

Me, I am white, cis, straight and ally. I speak German and English.

Hey, I'm Luca (pronouns: she/her),
I'm from berlin and have been part of the collective since 2025 and also work in the hospital. Before studying to become a midwife*, I trained as a paramedic.

I am now very happy to work out-of-hospital as well, with the aim of offering person-centered, self-determined care. It is a great enrichment for me to be able to accompany people during pregnancy and post-partum.
Birthwork and health in general must be viewed intersectionally and it is very important to me to work towards racism-critical, queer and trans*sensitive practice.

I am white, queer and cis and speak german and english.
I am very happy to be part of this great collective now & am looking forward to everything that is to come.

Courses

Hey, I´m Cato! My Pronouns are they/them, or he/him.

I've lived in Berlin for many years. After my Bachelor in Communications Science and Psychology in 2009 I started my midwifery training. It was important to me to find work for my hands and my heart. I am fascinated with everything surrounding Pregnancy and Birth support. Trans and queer sensitive care are very important to me. I feel enriched by every chance I get to accompany a person during their unique expereice of this life phase.

I myself am white, queer, trans*, non-bianary, parent to three wonderful people, and speak german fluently, and english shyly. I am so happy to be starting this collective with these great midwives*!

Toni Böhm

Hey, I'm Toni (no pronouns, they/them).

I've been part of the collective since 2022 and before that I worked as a midwife at Geburtshaus Maja. I moved to Berlin in 2017 after studying to become a birth worker/ midwife* and B.Sc. of Science.

For me, working as a birth worker is part of my feminist practice, which is about mindful care and strengthening reproductive rights. With the collective, I have found a place and a team to deepen exactly these ideas and to help create a safe space for this very intense phase of life of birth and parenthood.

I currently give birth preparation courses, workshops on DIY insemination, advise on induced lactation and also work as an educational speaker. From December 2024, I will start further training as a systemic counselor with a focus on TIN* and queer issues and will offer systemic counseling in the future.

I am queer, non-binary. I speak German and English.

Imogen Raye Minton

Break - Parentel leave until september 2025 - from september on, please contact hebamme.imogen[at]gmail.com :)

Hi, I'm Imogen! My pronouns are she/her.

I am originally from the US, but have lived in Berlin since 2007. I became a midwife after getting my Bachelors in Gender and Sexuality, and Masters in International Public Health and Gender. I did my midwifery* training here in Berlin, and have since worked in home, hospital, and geburtshaus settings. Supporting people's agency and power during the transformative process of becoming parents is very important to me, and working especially to provide BIPoC, queer, trans* and inter* folks with senstive care is my central goal. It's an honor to learn from each of our clients how best to accompany them.

I am white, cis, queer, and speak german and english (though sometimes I feel like I'm getting worse in both languages!). I am thrilled to be founding this collective with such incredible midwives*.
