Who am I ?
Hi, I'm Johanna Esprey!
Hi, I’m Johanna Esprey, Perinatal & Parenting Specialist, and proud mum of two daughters.
I’m French, living in an international family with my South African husband (who speaks English and Afrikaans), and I’m lucky to be surrounded by incredible foreign friends who have chosen to give birth and raise their children here in France.
Watching them navigate the French healthcare system, often without speaking the language, made me want to create something truly helpful. Something clear, warm, and supportive. Something I wish had existed when they first arrived.
That’s how Motherhood in France was born.
