With love and care — by your side every step of the way.

my name is karina harfouche,

……. and I am a Swiss-Russian doula and proud mother of two girls, living in Geneva, Switzerland. My journey into the world of motherhood and holistic care began at the age of 16, when I discovered Reiki, transcendental meditation, women’s practices, yoga, and breathwork. These early experiences sparked a deep connection to the wisdom of the feminine body and the healing power of nature.

After studying engineering and finance, I met my husband, and our path to parenthood began. Pregnancy opened up a world of transformation, magic, and challenges. During both of my pregnancies, I faced fears and complications such as a breech baby, Rhesus conflict, and a short cervix. However, I learned to embrace these challenges and turn them into empowering experiences. With hypnobirthing, I was able to deliver both of my daughters naturally, without tearing or medical interventions, and I experienced a smooth and positive recovery.

These personal experiences ignited a deep passion in me to become a doula and to support other women on their own transformative journeys through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

As a Certified Perinatal/Postpartum Doula, my mission is to help women navigate their pregnancies, births, and the newborn phase with confidence, comfort, and joy. I am dedicated to offering holistic support that honors each woman’s unique journey, empowering her to make informed, positive choices.

Through my personal and professional experiences, I have come to deeply believe in the incredible power of the feminine body and the transformative nature of birth. I am here to guide and support you every step of the way, offering care that is grounded in love, respect, and wisdom.

I provide personalized support for every stage of your journey – family planning, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My services include perinatal guidance, breastfeeding support, and traditional postpartum care, with both daytime and overnight options, ensuring you feel confident, nurtured, and cared for. Postpartum care is especially important, as it strengthens the foundation for your baby’s needs. I am here to support, educate, and affirm your experience, empowering you during this deeply transformative time.
