Eun-Ju Rüschenschmidt (she/her)
Midwife B.Sc.
My name is Eun-Ju Rüschenschmidt (she/her) and I’m a certified midwife (B.Sc.).
I support expecting families with a warm, positive, and evidence-based approach, and I’m committed to creating a space that feels safe, inclusive, and respectful for all.
I've been supporting birthing people for 4 years now, and have been working in both a large perinatal center in Berlin (St. Joseph Krankenhaus) with a NICU and in a smaller birth clinic (Klinikum am Urban) in Kreuzberg now.
I believe in guiding you to trust your body's wisdom, offering evidence-based knowledge while holding deep respect for your autonomy. My aim is to support you in making informed decisions with clarity and confidence, for a birth experience that feels empowering, tender, and truly your own. I see birth work as part of a broader movement for collective healing and liberation - working towards a world where childbirth, parenting, and care are free from violence and oppression, and built on dignity, trust and softness.
The weekend birth preparation course offers a calm and supportive space to prepare for birth and the time after. You’ll receive practical tools, clear information, and emotional support as you get ready to meet your baby. The course is designed to help you feel more confident, connected, and empowered, no matter what your path to parenthood looks like.
We’ll explore how birth works, how to trust your body, and how your partner or support person can play an active role. Alongside evidence-based knowledge, there is space for reflection, questions, and open exchange with other expecting families.
