Julia König
Psychologist. Author. Speaker.
Psychologist by passion.
After my own long journey with infertility, I became increasingly aware of the extensive psychological impact that unfulfilled desires for children can have. The accompanying emotional burden can be significant and can strongly affect mental well-being. After the birth of our daughter, I eventually specialized in topics related to fertility and developed, as part of a renowned clinic group, a portfolio that is now an integral part of the patient offering and is implemented at several locations.
With the intention of creating evidence-based, yet personal and valuable support for parents and their children, I took the step into self-employment again in 2020 with “Kinderwunschcoaching.eu.” I am particularly committed to continuously expanding my network with families, dedicated organizations, and international specialists. Furthermore, I see it as my mission to provide education and support to promote the mental health and well-being of my patients.
The opportunity to accompany people on their personal journey and help them manage psychological challenges more effectively fills me with great gratitude and passion for my profession.

Mag. Julia König
I am a dynamic creator with a deep passion for creative projects—there is always something exciting going on with me. Inspired by my work with families who pursue various paths to parenthood, I have written four children's books specifically for desired children—whether through artificial insemination, sperm or egg donation, or surrogacy. These books are lovingly illustrated and age-appropriate, helping each child understand and confidently share their unique family story."

Über den Kinderwunsch mit Eizellenspende
Author.
It is important to provide children with sensitive and age-appropriate information about the various forms of family creation. Through conversations with many individuals involved, I have come to realize how many parents, although generally open and well-meaning, often feel overwhelmed when it comes to finding the right time and manner to explain their child's unique conception. The desire for a child is a sensitive and often emotionally charged topic that affects both parents and children alike.
Through my books, I seek to enlighten even the youngest children about what it means to be a "chosen child" and how families can come together in diverse ways. My goal is to provide children with the means to better understand themselves and their families, thereby nurturing empathy and acceptance.
