I Earned a 9.6 Rating on Locallista, One Verified Family at a Time

I’m Amelie, founder of Land of Mothers, a birth, postpartum, and sibling doula practice in Amsterdam. Locallista is a platform that helps people find trusted local service providers in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in over a hundred categories. A spot on it is never automatic and I just earned mine, call by call.

The problem every new parent in Amsterdam knows

I gave birth to both of my sons in Cape Town, far from my family and everything familiar. I know what it means to become a parent abroad. The maternity care system in a new country is unfamiliar, the language can be a barrier, and your usual circle of support is simply not there. Many parents in Amsterdam face the same gap. They need someone to trust with something this personal, and they have no easy way to check who deserves that trust.

How Locallista tested that claim

Before I went live, I gave Locallista a list of past clients. That is where my part ended. Locallista’s own team called seven of them directly, on their own, and I had no say in what was asked or what they said back. I did not know what came up on those calls until the reviews were published, the same as anyone reading this now. That is independent review collection, not self-reported testimonials. They asked about the birth, the communication, the price, and whether they would hire me again. All seven calls came back as live, published reviews. Providers who stay listed must keep a rating above 9.00 out of 10; drop below it and the profile is removed, not just ranked lower. No paid placement, no sort button to buy: only real performance decides who shows up.

What my clients are actually saying

Delphine hired me for doula support through her pregnancy, childbirth, and a postpartum home follow-up. She told Locallista: “Our experience with Amelie was fantastic, honestly I do not know how we would have managed the birth without her.”

Aviva hired me as a sibling doula during the birth of her second son, so her toddler would not feel lost in the transition. She told Locallista: “I know her presence in our home contributed to a smooth transition for us as we became a family of 4.”

Julie booked me for prenatal and birth support as doula, massage, and a mother blessing. She told Locallista: “She was on call from 30 weeks onward, and the fact that she speaks French, English, and Dutch was a big win for us.”

Margot called me in for at-home postpartum massage and maternity support. She told Locallista: “She came to my home, which was very convenient, and she was very attentive and adapted the massage to my needs and pain.”

What I do best

My reviews point to the same pattern every time: I show up, I adapt to what each family actually needs, and I stay close after the job most people would call finished. Whether it is a sibling doula sleeping over so new parents can rest, or a massage tailored to someone’s recovery, the families I work with come away feeling less alone. That is the whole reason I started Land of Mothers.

If you are looking for a birth doula in Amsterdam or postpartum support in Amsterdam, I hope you found what you needed. But if you need anything else, Locallista is the place to look, because the same standards apply across every one of its 100+ categories: real vetting calls, a 9.00 rating floor to stay listed, and no paid placement. From accountants in Amsterdam to massage therapists in Amsterdam, photographers in Amsterdam, home organizers in Amsterdam, and anything you can think of, it is all held to that same bar.
