I am certified doula\/birth therapist and visual artist, MFA. I gave birth to my daughter at Hvidovre hospital, Copenhagen, in 2013, and since my birth therapist certification in 2020 I have participated in hospital births in the capital area (Herlev Hospital, Rigshospitalet, Hvidovre Hospital) as doula and birth photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am passionate about helping women to get the best birth experience and new start in life as a mother. When a mother is well taken care of, she can also take better care of her child, thus giving the child the best start in the world. It is my most important task to hold space for you throughout the whole birth process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/foedselsterapeuten.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">certified birth therapist<\/a> I have knowledge of and experience with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Communication and therapeutic conversation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A deep understanding of body structures in the pregnant body and how to give the best possible help to the woman during pregnancy and birth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowledge about pregnancy, processes of birth, opportunities for pain relief and labor progress, birth positions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Concrete and practical techniques to help the birth to progress, to relieve pain and to create focus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breastfeeding techniques and help in relation to establishing a new family and a supportive network around it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"649\" src=\"http:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P1370910-1024x649.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P1370910-1024x649.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P1370910-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P1370910-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P1370910-1536x974.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P1370910.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Nanna Lysholt Hansen, rebozo studio, 2025<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020 and 2022 I have completed courses in prenatal rebozo massage and postpartum rebozo closing ritual<em> <\/em>with midwife  Marta Orbis at F\u00f8dselsterapeuten ApS, Copenhagen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021 I have begun a comprehensive study of essential oils, herbs and aroma therapy massage useful in connection with pregnancy and birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In early 2022 I became an official member of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/danskefoedselsfotografer.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Association for Danish Birth Photographers<\/a>, and since 2024 I am chairholder of the association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in April 2026 I will complete my training to become a certified prenatal yoga teacher with Lucia Seglie (Arhanta Yoga Academy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"650\" src=\"http:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/foedselsfotografi-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/foedselsfotografi-1024x650.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/foedselsfotografi-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/foedselsfotografi-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/foedselsfotografi-1536x975.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nammubirth.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/foedselsfotografi-2048x1300.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In my artistic practice I work with body art \/ performance, sculpture and photography and I have for many years researched issues and perspectives related to the female body and aspects around motherhood, pregnancy and childbirth, anatomy, and the history of medicine\/development of medical science and psychology.
