Breastfeeding doesn't have to be difficult. With the right support, you can enjoy the journey.
The first days with a newborn can be overwhelming. A painful latch, a baby who never seems satisfied, endless questions, and the feeling that everyone else has it figured out. The truth is, breastfeeding isn't something most families simply know how to do. It's a learned skill for both you and your baby, and the right support can make all the difference.
A certified lactation consultant does more than help you solve today's challenges. She gives you the knowledge, confidence, and support to navigate the months ahead. Whether in your home or online, you'll receive compassionate, evidence-based care in your own language and without judgment.

I know what it's like to raise a baby far from home.
Hi, I'm Elena—a certified lactation consultant, infant sleep consultant, and specialist in respectful weaning. I created Motherground to offer families the kind of support that's often missing in the early years of parenthood: compassionate, evidence-based guidance tailored to every family's unique needs.
As an expat and a mother myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel to navigate parenthood without your usual support network. No grandparents nearby, no familiar healthcare system, and no one to turn to in your own language. Motherground was created to provide the kind of professional, judgment-free support I once wished I'd had—so you can feel informed, confident, and never alone.

How I work
Every family is unique. That's why every consultation is tailored to your needs.

Ongoing support, if you need it
Parenthood is always evolving. If new questions come up, I'm here to support you with follow-up guidance and adjustments as your family's needs change.
Your questions, answered
If you can't find the answer here, message me through the contact form and we'll sort it out together.
No obligation, no pressure — just an honest conversation about how I can help.
ContactYes! Most of my consultations take place online, so I can support families wherever they are in the world. If you're based in Berlin, I also offer home visits. Depending on your location, a travel fee may apply, and I'll always let you know in advance.
I offer consultations in Spanish, English, French, and German. You're welcome to choose whichever language you feel most comfortable speaking.
Every family is different, so there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Many parents leave the consultation feeling more confident and reassured straight away. Depending on your situation, you may notice changes over the following days or weeks as you put your personalised plan into practice.
Absolutely. Many families need support in more than one area, such as breastfeeding and infant sleep, or starting solids and weaning. I'll help you choose the option that best fits your family's needs.
Yes—supporting international families is at the heart of Motherground. As an expat myself, I understand what it's like to navigate parenthood without your usual support network. My goal is to provide evidence-based, culturally sensitive support in the language you feel most comfortable with.
After our session, you'll receive personalised recommendations tailored to your family's needs. If you'd like ongoing support, you can also book follow-up sessions to ask new questions, review your progress, and adjust the plan as your baby grows and your family's needs change.
