Samantha van Praag

I do birth work with great passion and love, with full attention and sincerity.
Every form of guidance is different, because everyone is unique and has different wishes and needs. Before the guidance, we first have a personal conversation so I can tailor it to you.

I help you prepare fully for birth. The focus is primarily on strengthening your trust in yourself. The more knowledge you have about the process and the more you can connect with your own body and intuition, the more confidence you will have.
This leads to being able to let go with full confidence and to give birth as calmly and smoothly as possible.

In my guidance, I focus on your comfort; you and your baby come first. Of course, I also support the partner. I regularly ask how the partner is feeling and whether there is anything I can do for him or her.
Furthermore, I work mindfully, consciously looking at what is, without judgment. Hypnobirthing elements are woven into my guidance, so that you, as a pregnant person, can learn to relax deeply, which is the most effective factor during labor.
I help remind you how powerful you are as a pregnant and birthing person. I am there for overall support, but the strength comes from you.

This is what I offer:

Guidance to prepare for childbirth (without being present at the birth).
* Full support during pregnancy and labor.
* Present from the onset of labor.
* Lotus aftercare (care for the placenta).
* Placenta print (using paint on paper).
* Baby mobile made of wool for the nursery.
