We were never meant to do it alone.    

I want continuous support

Birth doula

Your doula is the familiar face and voice in the room, wherever the birth of your baby will unfold: she’s your spaceholder. During prenatal meetings we connect, discover your believes around birth and focus on how you want to feel when you’re in labour. We explore the depts of your relationship, your mindset around pain and coping mechanisms. How to seek comfort in discomfort?

The knowledge you need to birth your baby already lies within you. We often try to find the answers externally. By turning inwards and practising with being fully present, you will find calmness, trust in yourself and the natural process of giving birth.

You will gain enough information about the functioning of hormones, how to shift from suffering into embracing birthing pain and the stages of labour. However a doula is not the guardian of your birth plan, instead she is there to help you create a space where you feel safe.


Postpartum massages


After giving birth your nervous system is often over stimulated because of all the new responsibilities for your baby. You can experience a hyperfocus and feeling alert because of adrenaline from labour. When receiving a postpartum massage you will return back into your body, where emotions can transition and trust, inner peace and confidence will restore.

We focus on deep breathing, relaxation and also create space to talk about your birth experience. With a guided meditation, physical touches and calming music, you’ll let go of all the worries, to-do’s and anything on your mind. This moment is just for you, mommy.

‘‘For women to be able to see a baby coming out of a vagina, to be able to see and think: ‘If that’s possible, then anything is possible,’ they can take that knowledge and power and apply it to any other realm of their lives.’’ - Katie Vigos

Prenatal & Postpartum Coaching

Let’s ride the waves of Motherhood together where I’ll guide you in developing coping mechanisms and strategies, rather than fighting against the changes, to successfully navigate the ups and downs through pregnancy and Motherhood. Prenatal & Postpartum coaching is for all Mom’s and partners who experience difficulties from conception until your baby is about 1,5 years old. During our coaching sessions we’re focusing on the present- where you’re currently experiencing any kind of turbulence. I believe in a holistic approach and therefore combine coaching methods with prenatal and postpartum massages, to support soothing your nervous system.

Together we find ways to feel comfortable in moments of discomfort. In search of embracing this new journey with self-compassion, resilience and mildness.

When a baby (and Mother) is born and you’re recovering from birth, you might feel great running on adrenaline and oxytocine. But adrenaline can also come with feeling over-alert, not being able to sleep or anxiety. The combination of sleep deprivation can be a new sensation, combined with changes in your hormone balance. There will be moments that you feel at the end of your rope and in need of a break. Simultaneously you want to stay close and responsive to your baby’s need. We call this the push and pull mechanism in motherhood.

Sharing your inner world (intrusive and negative thoughts/believes) helps protecting your mental and emotional well-being. Every woman deserves a soft landing into Motherhood. Research shows that when you experience negative feelings during pregnancy or birth, talking to someone in early stages, can help prevent postnatal depression, anxiety, stress, and isolation. If severe underlying problems occur during our coaching sessions, I will refer you to a psychologist.

Our meetings can be in and around your home, outdoors or in my home practice. We customise it to your needs.
