Sjanine Bogaars

My name is Sjanine Bogaars (1973), and I am married to Nick. Proud mother of two teenagers, Iris and Stijn. My work experience has mainly been in retail. After 20 years in this industry, I made a career change and pursued my passion. With great admiration for healthcare, I wanted to contribute my own part, especially to birth—a new life! Because with a positive pregnancy and a good start for your baby, an important and safe foundation is laid.

While preparing for one of the most important moments in your life, the birth of your child, you may fantasize about how the delivery will go. You might have certain wishes, but possibly also fears and concerns. Considering these wishes and concerns, I would love to inform you and your partner, if applicable, about all the possibilities and the support I can offer you. Because so much is possible, and there’s a lot that can be done!

Having a doula at the birth of your child has many benefits. The delivery is on average 2 hours shorter, there is half the chance of a medical intervention (cesarean section), more active involvement of the partner in the birth, and fewer postnatal depressions in the first weeks after birth.

Would you like a caring, experienced doula who supports you calmly and professionally during your pregnancy and childbirth? Someone who is entirely there for you? During the entire birth, I’ll be by your side to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. With my decisiveness, humor, calmness, and care, I’ll be your support and confidant!

I am a member of the NBvD, the Dutch Association for Doulas.
