Hi, I'm Elena

When my first daughter was born, I was living in Berlin, far from my family and everything that had always made me feel at home. Like so many international parents, I found myself navigating a new healthcare system, in a different language, without the people I would normally turn to for advice or reassurance. I quickly realised that what I needed most wasn't more opinions—it was someone I could trust. Someone who could explain what was happening, answer my questions without judgment, and help me make informed decisions that felt right for my family. That experience changed the course of my career.

I began training in breastfeeding, infant sleep, respectful weaning, and complementary feeding because I wanted to become the kind of professional I had been looking for myself: someone who combines evidence-based knowledge with empathy, practical guidance, and genuine support. That's how Motherground was born. Today, I support families through some of the biggest challenges of early parenthood—from the first latch to sleepless nights and gentle weaning. Every consultation is personalised because I believe there's no universal solution. Every baby, every parent, and every family is different.

My learning hasn't stopped there. I'm currently studying Clinical Psychology in Germany because I want to deepen my understanding of child development, relationships, and mental health. That knowledge complements my work with families and allows me to offer support that's not only practical, but also thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in science. Whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival or navigating one of the many challenges that come afterwards, my goal is simple: to help you feel informed, confident, and supported.
