Midwives*

Charlotte Lindig (pronouns she/her):

Since completing my education and bachelor's degree in Midwifery Science, I have worked as a freelance midwife in various locations both with and without birth support. I am passionate about providing people with individual, trusting and empowering support during the process of becoming a parent. With the founding of the queer feminist midwifery team in Hamburg, I am able to combine my political and feminist beliefs with my work, which makes me incredibly grateful and happy.

I myself am white, cis, queer and speak German as my native language, French fluently and English to a medium level.

Leonie Macdonald (pronouns she/her):

During my education and bachelor's degree in Midwifery, I worked in a variety of professional contexts. After completing my education and working briefly in clinical settings, I began working as an independent midwife. My main focuses were: Pregnancy support, postpartum care and counseling for refugees.

For me, being a midwife also means doing political work. With the founding of the Hebammen*Kollektiv Hamburg, I have now found a space to link politics and midwifery. It is important to me to create a new space that is open, empowering, trusting and beneficial for all involved.

I myself am white, cis and an ally. I speak German and English.
