Meet Gardenia

I pursued my medical studies in Amsterdam and later moved to Zurich, where I worked as a doctor in internal medicine.

Then, I became a mother.

Despite having support, I felt physically, emotionally, and mentally stretched thin—torn between love and exhaustion, joy and isolation. Postpartum shook me in ways I never expected, and I quickly realized how often mothers are overlooked in this delicate transition. We are told to focus on the baby, but who holds the mother?

So, while raising my son, I created what I had needed myself: a space where mothers feel seen, heard, and supported—without judgment. This is how With You, Mama was born.

Today, I help mothers reclaim themselves in postpartum through my unique coaching approach, which combines medical expertise with therapeutic methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). My work goes beyond coping strategies—it’s about guiding you back to yourself with gentleness, strength, and care.
