Midwife Lilou Schilling
About me
Hi, I’m Lilou Schilling.
I discovered my passion for midwifery shortly before finishing school and never looked back. I completed my midwifery training in Apolda and have been working in the delivery ward at the Uniklinikum Jena since 2020. Being part of such an important and intimate moment in people’s lives continues to inspire me every day.
In October 2025, I expanded my work by starting as a freelance midwife, offering support and care beyond the hospital setting. To better support international families, I also completed a specialized “English for Midwives” course.
When I’m not working, I love spending time in my rooftop garden, practicing yoga, going to concerts, and getting lost in a good book.
