THE DOCTOR MUM
DOCTOR, MUM, EDUCATOR, AND INTERNATIONAL
I landed in Denmark while heavily pregnant with my first daughter. Navigating life in a new country—with new systems, new risks, and new parenting methods—was a lot, even as a doctor myself.
Through Doctor Mum, I work to empower parents and caregivers to confidently respond to emergencies, manage common childhood illnesses and injuries, create safter environments, and navigate Denmark's systems with less stress.
