Perinatal Psychologist & Doula in Zürich

Hello and welcome!

I’m Aline Schnekenburger, a perinatal psychologist and certified doula, member of the Federation of Swiss Psychologists (FSP) and the Swiss Doula Association.

I specialize in guiding mothers, fathers, and families through the emotional journey of conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Parenthood is a deeply transformational experience, often filled with joy, but also moments of anxiety, stress, and vulnerability. My mission is to provide emotional support, therapeutic guidance, and practical tools so that parents can feel empowered, confident, and connected throughout this important stage.

How I Support Families

Using the lens of Systemic Family Therapy, I help you explore parenthood from multiple perspectives, from the most individual to the social and relational.

Some of the most common themes we work on include:

• Pregnancy & postpartum anxiety or depression
• Stress and burnout in early parenthood
• Processing birth trauma
• Strengthening relationship & communication
• Parent-child bonding and family dynamics

I work with parents from preconception through the second year postpartum, always with the goal of promoting mental well-being and helping families thrive during this unique time.

Giving birth is actually a fantastic rehearsal for the task of motherhood, although most of us don’t realize this at the time

I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and prepared for the emotional journey of parenthood.
