Maternita Team
Elodie Roux
After a career in international business, the French-born mother of two decided to make a radical change in taking part in the Baby Planner Academy in 2017. She brings a world of experience and expertise to the table. In 2013 she founded her own parent-managed bilingual Kita in Prenzlauer Berg as she could not find a spot for her son. For years, she was then the resident expert in all children safety –related topics in the Kita. Elodie extended her competence field in 2018 by training as a Post-partum Doula (Mütterpflegerin). She now regularly supports mothers in the post-partum period with at home mother care, help with baby care, home-cooked meals, emotional support and relaxation techniques. She is therefore our Kita and mothercare expert.
Elodie can accompany families in English, French and German.
