Tessa Aldewereld

My name is Tessa Aldewereld and I work as a doula, massage therapist and postpartum practitioner in Nieuwegein area.

Becoming a mother is one of the most transformative periods you’ll experience in your life. Your birth is something that stays with you for life, and your life completely changes with the arrival of your baby. How this transformation (and thus your birth) is experienced leaves an imprint for the rest of motherhood and your life. That’s why this special period in your life deserves loving attention. In my role as a doula, I strive to ensure that every mother feels seen and heard and can feel her fire and strength during pregnancy and her birth. That every baby gets a soft landing. Positivity, relaxation, humor, and lots of love are central to me during pregnancy, birth, and certainly the period afterward.

In addition to being a doula, I also offer pregnancy and postpartum massages and postpartum treatments. Because pregnancy and the postpartum period demand so much from you and your body, you deserve this extra attention. Your body is working hard to grow a little baby and then to recover from the period of carrying your baby. A massage or treatment contributes to your body’s ability to recover, so you can sleep better, experience less pain, produce fewer stress hormones, and truly feel your body again. In short, it reduces complaints, and it’s a true moment just for you.

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