I am excited to announce that beginning September 2012 I will begin training doulas with my colleague Jacky Bloemraad de-Boer.  Information here: JJ doula training or via our Facebook Page

Childbirth is a physical, emotional and spiritual experience, with long-term impact on a woman's personal well being. As a certified doula I will support you and your partner using encouragement, water, acupressure, massage, positioning and other tools as needed. Labour is a dance between a woman and her baby; my role is defined by your needs. My goal is to support parents in having a positive and memorable birth experience and a gentle beginning for their baby.

As an experienced doula, I offer a variety of services to clients in and around Amsterdam. Doula services, pregnancy support, and specialised appointments for breech, over estimated due date and broken waters with no contractions.

"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers. Strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength. "
