I offer prenatal classes with personalized support for expectant parents. We will cover key topics like paperwork, list of things needed in the hospital, the signs of labour and the stages of labour, pain relief methods, birth plan, postpartum period, breastfeeding and newborn care.

Support during labour
and delivery

I will be on call for you 24/7 for one month around your due date and will be ready to support you and your partner during labour and delivery. I offer emotional reassurance, explanation of what is happening during the labour process and help with the language barrier.

Postpartum care + breastfeeding consultations

Postpartum care is essential for your recovery and adjustment to life with your baby. I provide breastfeeding consultations, answer your newborn questions and help you enjoy a smoother journey. Together, these services empower you to care for yourself while nurturing your little one.

Thank you very much, Zuzana. You were a great help for us before and after the birth of our child. From the antenatal class till the administrative support we highly appreciated your help and can absolutely recommend your services.Alex & Andreas

A huge THANK YOU for all you’ve done to help us over the last month or so. You’ve been absolutely brilliant. Not sure how we would have navigated it all without you.T.K.

Zuzana was so extremely helpful with the birth of our second child. As it being our first time delivering in another country we could not have navigated all of the differences of giving birth here compared to the US without her. She was supportive and available throughout pregnancy and postpartum for questions and even helped us obtain our baby’s Czech birth certificate. When it came to labor and delivery it would have been such a different and more difficult situation without her support. She took note of all of my needs/wishes and made sure that the midwife and doctors were aware of them. She was an integral part of helping me get through labor and dealing with the pain and offering encouragement. She also stayed with us after the birth until we were settled with the baby and helped to translate with the pediatric and postpartum nurses. I would highly recommend her to anyone giving birth in Prague (especially expats) as her service was so immensely helpful and essential for me!Jessica

As an expat in Prague navigating the Czech healthcare system without nearby family, finding Zuzana was incredibly fortunate for my husband and me. She expertly guided us through the country's birth system, offered classes to prepare us for our first child, and ensured we were comfortable throughout the process. When my ideal birth plan for a natural birth required adjusting due to a necessary C-section, Zuzana was a pillar of support, helping keep both my husband and me calm and informed. She was there on the morning of the surgery, providing guidance and comfort. The procedure went flawlessly, and I couldn't have wished for a better experience. My husband and I are immensely grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking birth support. It was truly a blessing to feel so supported and guided during such a crucial time.Tyler and Nathan
