Service

I'm based in Alphen aan den Rijn and offer doula support across the surrounding region. I'm also happy to go to you to Leiden, Gouda, and Utrecht. If you're unsure whether I cover your area, feel free to get in touch!

I offer birth support including the following services:

  • introductory meeting

- we'll meet to get to know each other, discuss your expectations, and see if we feel like a good match
- if you’re planning to give birth with your partner, a family member, or a friend by your side, they are very welcome to join us

  • 3 prenatal sessions

- we’ll meet three more times before your birth
- you can share your wishes, needs and any fears or questions
- I can help you write or review your birth plan
- I show you breathing techniques, birthing positions, relaxation techniques and more tricks and tips (we can practice together)
- max. 2 hours / session

  • phone and WhatsApp support

- you can reach out to me between sessions if you have any questions or doubts or simply need some reassurance
- if you'd like to talk things through we can arrange a phone call

  • on call from week 37

- from 37 weeks until your baby arrives, I’ll be available 24/7 for your birth
- I’m just a phone call away when labour begins!

  • continuous support during birth

- at your home or at a hospital
- from the moment you need me until your baby is born  (+ a couple of hours, according to agreement)
- calm and gentle support and guidance for you and your birth partner based on your wishes
- I can walk around with you, help you find your breathing rhythm, give gentle massage, and more importantly, I will listen to your needs

  • after birth

- a follow-up call to check in
- you can ask me questions or just share how you feel 
- a postpartum visit to help you process your experiences and help you arrive into motherhood

As a doula in training, I currently offer my doula support for free.

I'm currently training to become a birth doula at HOLOS Instituut in Utrecht. The training is recognised by the Nederlandse Beroepsvereniging voor Doula's (NBvD).
