Lindsey Robrecht
Bilingual Doula in Strasbourg for International Families
Pregnancy in France can feel overwhelming when you don’t know the system or the language.
I walk alongside you so you can feel confident, grounded, and deeply supported.
I am a trained doula through the French program “Envol et Matrescence.”
You are not alone if…
You are pregnant in France and don’t fully understand the healthcare system.
You don’t speak French and medical appointments feel stressful.
You are part of an LGBTQIA+ family and worry about being misunderstood.
You are navigating fertility treatment, grief, or uncertainty.
Your partner may not be able to be present.
You are a single parent.
You need a space to speak freely, without judgment.
You deserve to feel safe, informed, and deeply supported.
What is a doula?
A doula provides emotional, informational and practical support during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.
My role is to help you understand your options, feel prepared for your birth, and navigate the French healthcare system with confidence.
I work alongside medical professionals such as doctors and midwives, offering non-medical but complementary support that focuses on your emotional wellbeing and informed decision-making.

Olivia, Lucie’mom« Lindsey is a warm, loving, supportive and very knowledgeable doula. She knows how to navigate the French healthcare system so well, and it’s a bonus that she is bilingual — my French is very limited and having her by my side is an invaluable resource. She is the person you can count on and the person you can trust with anything. Her skill set and compassionate nature make her an incredible resource and guide. I couldn’t recommend her services more! »
