Bespoke
Birth Preparation
online & in person
Most parents don’t realise this at first, but birth preparation isn’t about learning exactly what will happen.
It’s about understanding your body, your options and your unique circumstances, so you can approach birth with confidence, clarity and practical tools - and feel informed, connected and capable when it matters most.
Bespoke birth preparation
Your body. Your history. Your birth. Your preparation.
A personalised 1:1 birth preparation intensive for you and your birth partner.
Birth preparation is not about learning one perfect way to give birth.
It is about understanding your body, your options, your patterns, your wishes and your possible birth pathways - so that you and your partner can enter birth feeling informed, connected and equipped to respond to what unfolds.
Your preparation should be as individual as your birth.

Birth Preparation Built around you.
There is no universal birth experience. A first birth is different from a subsequent birth. A previous difficult experience can change how you approach the next one. A planned induction asks for different preparation than a spontaneous labour. Your physical history, your relationship with your body, your nervous system, your partner and your circumstances all influence what may be useful to you.
This is why I don't teach a fixed four-hour birth course.
I create your preparation around you.
Before we meet, I take the time to understand where you are coming from and what you need, via intake and a video call.
Then I build our session accordingly.

Hospital classes and private sessions serve different purposes.
Hospital-based prenatal classes often focus on protocols, timelines, and general information. In our private sessions, we focus on you - your unique body, your concerns and your preferences, and how to navigate birth with confidence. It’s a more personal, in-depth, and supportive experience. -
I’m happy to come to you for in-person sessions within 35 km of Purmerend. I serve Amsterdam, Landsmeer, Zaandam, Pumerend, Hoorn and Alkmaar.
If you’re located more than 15 km away, I ask a small travel contribution of €0.25 per km. -
Most parents take childbirth education classes in the third trimester.
At this stage, the birth feels more real and relevant, and it’s the perfect time to prepare your birth plan. It also helps keep the information and practical techniques fresh in your mind for when labour begins. -
Yes, very much so.
These sessions are practical and hands-on. We’ll explore breathing, visualisation and mantra, supportive positions, acupressure, counterpressure, and rebozo techniques; so you leave feeling ready and supported for birth. -
Each session is supported by a detailed presentation, along with additional links to relevant videos.
You’ll also receive book recommendations, and at the end of the sessions I share extra resources and documents - so you have everything you need and nothing is missed. -
Absolutely.
We’ll cover everything you need to create a clear and informed birth plan. We’ll also go through it together before your appointment with your midwife, so you feel confident discussing your preferences.
