Land of Mothers

A sanctuary for doula care and maternal celebration that is inclusive and welcoming of all. I aim to humbly support all persons and families, with an open heart and open mind. I serve Purmerend, Amsterdam, Landsmeer, Zaandam, Hoorn and Noord Holland.

As a doula, I offer gentle, nourishing bodywork:

It slows time.
It creates a cocoon.
Wrapped, swaddled, gently rocked - your nervous system softens as you feel held.

From there, the pelvis finds mobility.
The body finds space.

View fullsize 10 years ago I became a mother far from home, and there is loss in that.

Language. Traditions.
Birthdays that don’t quite land the same.
Community, shared stories, the feeling of being known without explaining.

View fullsize Community. Motherhood. Sisterhood. Support. Fun.

When you can’t find what you need - you create it.

I might not need it as much now, but as a mom of a 10-year-old, I see early motherhood with new eyes - its tenderness, its exhaustion, its dee
View fullsize The more I practice with the rebozo, the more I witness its quiet, ancient magic.

After birth, when a woman has opened so fully, body and soul, there’s often a deep need to be gathered again. To be held, contained, wrapped.

But we also need more space for men.

View fullsize When Umi came to Earth and crawled straight to my breast, I was in awe.
This surprise baby, born peacefully in my own bed on a cold, sunny morning in Cape Town- with two midwives and a doula by my side - had my whole heart.

And in some ways, it was- I knew the benefits, I believed in it.
But it didn’t come easily.

My brain just stopped functioning the way it used to, I couldn’t work anymore. 
What hit me hardest was the deep knowing that I, and we as parents, are not meant to raise our children alone. We had just come out
