About Me
Mother of three, certified doula, lactation and babywearing consultant, Access Bars practitioner — and above all, a passionate advocate for empowered birth.
Hi, I'm Betka
I'm a mother of three girls, each of whom arrived into this world in her own extraordinary way. Those three births changed me forever — they showed me just how powerful, wise, and deeply magical the female body truly is. That wonder never left me. It became my calling.
As a certified birth doula and proud member of the Czech Doula Association since 2021, I've had the honour of walking alongside 100+ women as they stepped into motherhood. I'm also a MAMILA-certified lactation consultant, so my support doesn't end when your baby arrives — I'm there for the tender, sometimes challenging first days of breastfeeding too.
I work primarily with international families in Prague, providing all support in fluent English. I know what it feels like to navigate something as intimate as birth in a country where the language and healthcare system aren't your own. I'm here to bridge that gap — so that you can focus on what truly matters: feeling safe, heard, and connected to the moment.
Together with midwife Natálie Sedlická and lactation consultant Julie Slocombe, I co-create the All Mamas Retreats — prenatal weekends in nature where women gather to slow down, breathe, learn, and prepare for the journey ahead. Because birth isn't just a medical event. It's one of life's most profound passages.
My Birth Journey
My first birth — a hospital in the Czech Republic
My first daughter was breech, and her arrival was long, heavily medicalised, and in many ways overwhelming. I felt swept along by protocols I didn't fully understand at the time. It was a challenging experience, but it taught me an enormous amount about how the medical system approaches birth — and it planted the first seeds of a question I couldn't shake: does it have to be this way?
My second birth — a homebirth in Prague
Everything was different the second time. I chose an assisted homebirth in Prague, and the experience was short, intimate, and deeply empowering. For the first time, I felt what it means to truly trust my body. That birth opened my eyes to the quiet beauty of physiological birth — to what becomes possible when a woman feels safe, unhurried, and held.
My third birth — a homebirth in New Zealand
My third daughter was born at home in New Zealand, where homebirth is a standard, fully supported part of the maternity system. It was a revelation. I experienced firsthand what birth can look like when it's genuinely trusted — by the mother, by her caregivers, and by the system around her. That experience deepened everything I believe about birth and cemented my commitment to supporting women through this transformative passage.
My Birth Philosophy
I see birth as a small universe unfolding — something sacred, raw, and breathtakingly powerful. Every woman carries within her a deep knowing, an ancient wisdom that doesn't need to be taught, only trusted and gently held.
I believe in the intelligence of the body and I also respect the gift of modern medicine. These two worlds aren't at odds — they're partners. Whether your birth unfolds in a hospital or at home, my role is the same: to create a warm, calm space where you feel free to surrender to the process. Where you can be vulnerable. Where you can be strong.
I won't tell you how to give birth. Instead, I'll hold the space while you discover it yourself. My deepest wish is that when you look back on the day your child arrived, you feel something stir in your chest — not just relief, but pride. A quiet knowing that you did this. Your way.
Hospitals Where I Have Supported Births
Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting mothers in hospitals across the Czech Republic. Every birth is unique, and I adapt my support to work within each hospital's environment while always keeping the mother's wishes at the center.
