Life

She then continued her studies and did her doctorate in 2000 at the University of Bremen on the subject of "Birth as a Process". She then started working at the Hannover Medical School (MHH) in the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics. There she founded the AG Midwifery Science. At the MHH, she heads the European Master’s course in Midwifery Science , which is unique as such and, as a non-consecutive course, is subject to fees.

In 2010 she completed her habilitation at the MHH . Her habilitation thesis was entitled The Self-Diagnosis of the Beginning of Birth: Subjective empiricism, perinatal care factors and basic biochemical research in discourse . In 2015 she became an adjunct professor .
