Birth Doula Support
One family. One month. Truly personal doula care.
I offer personalised pregnancy, birth and postpartum support to a small number of families in Amsterdam and Noord-Holland. By taking on just one birth client each month, I can offer the presence, continuity and care that I believe every family deserves.
My approach
I am a certified birth doula and a trained Spinning Babies® Birth Professional, with a background in movement coaching and dance. I bring a body-centered, evidence-informed approach to pregnancy and birth, blending practical knowledge with Eastern practices.
I work in Dutch, English, and French, and adapt my approach with cultural humility to your family, your birth setting, and your unique needs.
My focus is on helping you connect with your body, your instincts, your partner and your baby, creating a calm and grounded environment for your journey.
How I support You
I guide you and your partner before, during, and after birth with practical, hands-on support.
Prenatal: Evidence-based guidance, prenatal presentations, personalised book recommendations, movement techniques, rebozo work, TENS, birth balls, and Ayurvedic pregnancy massage. Discussions cover labour, postpartum, and the 4th trimester.
During birth: I provide quiet, steady presence - offering suggestions, supporting communication with staff, and helping you navigate labour with confidence.
Postpartum: Reflection, integration, recovery support, and practical care- including a warm, nurturing meal.
From 37 weeks, I’m fully available, and a backup doula with the same training ensures continuity of care if needed.
Benefits of a Doula
Working with a doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and practical support that helps you feel confident and empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Through our relationship, I come to understand your strengths as a couple, your needs, and the ways you work together—building trust and continuity that, alongside skilled midwives and nurses, facilitates a positive birth experience at home or in hospital.
I offer guidance on movement, positioning, and comfort, helping labour flow as smoothly as possible while supporting your relaxation.
I observe and respond intuitively, knowing when to offer suggestions, when to step back, and when simply to hold space, providing constant, unconditional support.
After birth, I hold space for reflection, integration, and bonding with your baby, and offer practical care such as nurturing meals to support recovery.
A doula helps create the conditions for a calmer, more empowered, and positive birth experience.
How we give birth matters - and how we are met during that time stays with us.

Birthing abroad can be challenging, especially without the deep grounding of our roots. I know this feeling firsthand, which is why I am dedicated to making your birth experience sovereign and positive. I provide you with the tools and knowledge to approach birth with confidence, support your partner in stepping into their role, and mediate with your birth team—ensuring that you never feel unsafe or alone in a foreign land.

Before birth, I support you in navigating the Dutch birth system with clarity and confidence. My approach is slow and grounded, creating space for deep relaxation, embodied preparation, and connection. Through rebozo rituals, movement, and cocooning practices, I help you attune to your body and intuition. We also explore what birth means to you—not just here, but in the lineage of your homeland. Together, we weave your cultural identity into your journey through personalised birth rituals, helping you step into birth feeling sovereign and supported. I also guide your partner in understanding their role, so they feel confident and involved.
During birth, I provide continuous emotional, physical, and practical support. I help create a calm, grounded environment where you feel safe and in control. Whether through hands-on comfort measures, movement, breathing, or simply holding space, I adapt to what you need in the moment. I also act as a bridge between you and your birth team, ensuring your wishes are heard and respected.
After birth, I help ease your transition into motherhood by offering postpartum care that honours your healing and recovery. This may include closing rituals with the rebozo, listening to your birth story, and supporting you emotionally as you settle into this new chapter. Together, we reflect on what you want to hold onto from your culture and pass on to your baby, grounding your experience in both your new home and your roots.

I see your partner as your ultimate ally, the guardian of your birth space. Birth is unpredictable—you may want him right by your side, or you may crave solitude or a feminine presence. No matter what unfolds, I support you as a team. My goal is to equip your partner with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to be your first birth partner—so he feels prepared, involved, and ready to step into fatherhood in a hands-on way.

A prenatal session with me is more than just preparation—it’s a space for you to be heard, nurtured, and celebrated. We begin with an open conversation, where you can bring all your questions, emotions, and practical concerns. But beyond logistics and birth plans, this is also a time for you—to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and be held in a space of care.
Each session is unique, shaped by what you need in that moment. In the days leading up to our meeting, we exchange thoughts so I can craft a session that leaves you feeling confident, assured, and deeply rooted in your own power.

At Land of Mothers, you are never left alone. While I am fully committed to your birth, life is unpredictable. If I am unable to be there, I ensure a trusted back-up—someone aligned with your needs and values—so you remain supported and held. We discuss this early on, so it feels familiar and safe, ensuring you always have a steady presence by your side.
-
Yes, please, absolutely! I know it can feel awkward to reach out at night, but birth doesn’t follow a schedule, and I’m here for you whenever you need me. So DO NOT hesitate for a second if your contractions are getting closer, stronger, or more frequent, or if your water breaks. Your birth is my priority, and I’m committed to being there, no matter the time, whenever the moment arrives.

Whether you choose an epidural or need a C-section, my support remains unwavering and adaptable to your needs. My role is to ensure you feel informed, empowered, and cared for throughout the process. I assist with comfort measures, emotional support, and advocating for your wishes, ensuring your birth experience aligns with your values, no matter the path. After birth, I am there for you in recovery, helping you transition into motherhood with gentleness and support. You and your partner are never alone in your journey—I'm with you every step of the way.
