The female body is, well, pretty brilliant actually. Yes, including yours! Your body making, birthing, feeding, loving a new human being – having a baby might be the biggest ‘normal’ thing in every woman’s life.

As a doula, it is my honour to offer you my non-medical services Noord-Holland.As your doula, i will offer you my unconditional support before, during and after birth. I will help you to get all the information you need to make the choices that suit you, so you can give birth with confidence and strength.

Research shows that having a doula contributes to more self-confidence, less complications and interventions, less need for medicinal pain relief during birth and less ‘baby blues’ in the early weeks.

Due to my work as a clinical doula in the Amsterdam UMC hospital (the only dutch hospital with a doula on staff!), I have very limited availability for private clients. Also, I only work as a duo with an experienced and trustworthy fellow doula. This way, you will have the best unconditional support during birth.

I specialize in supporting complex pregnancies/births (after loss, traumatic previous birth experience, other (sexual) trauma and/or severe fear of birth), but people of all backgrounds, family structures and beliefs or more than welcome.
