Introduction of our team: Hi Nicole!

Since the beginning of 2023, Nicole has been (re)part of the midwifery team at “im Josefs,” and since early 2024, she has also been a member of the midwifery partnership. Here we introduce her to you:

Who are you?
Hi, I’m Nicole. I have three adult children and live with my husband in downtown Potsdam. I love reading, going to concerts, and roller skating.

How long have you been a midwife? Why did you choose this profession?
I completed my exam 30 years ago in Halle/S. I wanted to be a midwife since I was a child, after finding an old anatomy book at my grandmother’s house, who also worked as a midwife. I find it fascinating to witness the strength women develop during childbirth, and being able to support them brings me immense joy every time.

Why did you choose St. Josefs Hospital?
St. Josefs was my third station as a midwife after Papua New Guinea and Neuss. I was part of the founding team 25 years ago, and after a 20-year break from clinical midwifery, I returned here at the beginning of 2023. I am very happy to be part of this wonderful team.

What do you offer in your freelance work?
Outside of the hospital, I support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
