Cristina Freiwald
Certified Midwife
Born and raised in Guatemala, I experienced the birth of my youngest sister at the age of nine, an event that profoundly shaped my outlook on life. As the daughter of a holistic midwife, I grew up surrounded by the powerful presence of active volcanoes and the rugged beauty of a country where women have long faced oppression. This upbringing instilled in me a deep belief in education and the importance of self-advocacy.
When it comes to pregnancy and childbirth, I follow a philosophy of minimal intervention: as little as possible and as much as necessary, to respect the natural process while ensuring the well-being of mothers and babies.
I speak Spanish, German and English.
"We spent a magical weekend attending an intensive prenatal course led by Cristina, accompanied by her sister Elena. We couldn't be happier! We highly recommend it! we now feel confident about many doubts we had. It also helped us become more aware of ourselves as a team with my partner, and it was so important to share experiences and doubts with other parents going through the same stage.Thank you girls, for sharing all your wisdom with so much love and joy! We will never forget these days."

"We had a great experience at the Antenatal Course hosted by Cristina Freiwald, and supported by her sister, Elena. I learned so much and feel much more prepared to undertake the great responsibility of becoming a father.She covered everything from prenatal nutrition, everything in-depth through the birthing process, and all the way up to post natal recovery, care and support for the first year.She provided a very comfortable learning environment and made sure to leave enough time for all the questions we had as a group."
