About me
Cornelia Fuhr
Midwife and lactation consultant IBCLC
My name is Cornelia Fuhr and I’ve been a midwife since 1987. My first experiences with obstetrics during a stay abroad in Hawaii have shaped and inspired me sustainably. The important elements of Aloha are love and affection, respect, compassion, patience, and responsibility for the community and love for all living things. All this is part of my philosophy of life and the basis of my actions.
My professional career and I
After 13 years in clinical obstetrics and a short baby break after the birth of my daughter (1999), I’m active as a freelance family midwife in the West of Hamburg. As a certified lactation consultant, I have been offering advice and support as IBCLC since 2016. In addition, I offer special consultations and specialist training on problematic oral restrictions in an interdisciplinary context.
It makes me happy and proud to do exactly what is important to me with my work:
To give holistic support at a special time and to be there for the woman/parent, the family and the community. The personal relationship is the key element of my work. By working with experts from other disciplines (professions), it is possible to offer the right help at the right time.
With knowledge, trust, respect and reliability, I would like to encourage women and parents to use and develop their own strengths so that a fulfilled pregnancy, a peaceful birth and a uncomplicated start to motherhood and parenthood can succeed
