Navigating Your Birth Journey in a New Country with Confidence and Comfort? I am available for services in English throughout the Amsterdam region.

Are you an expat or global professional expecting a baby in the Netherlands? Navigating a brand-new healthcare system during one of the most monumental transitions of your life can feel overwhelming.
You deserve a dedicated, premium partner who understands both where you are coming from and exactly how to guide you forward.

As an American birth and postpartum doula now based in the Amsterdam region, I specialize in helping international families enjoy a seamless, stress-free, and deeply supported transition into parenthood.

I bring extensive experience from the United States, where I worked as a trusted contract doula within Oregon hospital systems and served as a certified Traditional Healthcare Worker.
My deep familiarity with clinical environments, combined with advanced training in Spinning Babies, HypnoBirthing, and lactation support, allows me to bridge the gap between medical systems and your personal birthing preferences. Whether you are planning a hospital birth, a birth center experience, or want to understand how the unique Dutch midwifery and kraamzorg (postpartum care) systems complement your goals, I am here to translate, advocate, and elevate your care.

My doula services are designed for busy professionals who value highly personalized, continuous, and judgment-free support. From prenatal education and comprehensive birth navigation to overnight postpartum care and newborn transition coaching, my goal is to protect your peace of mind. I handle the logistics, the system navigation, and the evidence-based physical and emotional support so you can focus entirely on bonding with your baby.

Let’s turn any anxiety about giving birth abroad into a feeling of absolute readiness and empowerment. I look forward to holding space for your growing family and ensuring your journey is handled with the highest level of care, discretion, and warmth.
