Many things in life are not permanent, but your labour experience stays with you for life. That’s why having a positive experience is so important. Yet, 20% of women look back on their labour negatively, and for 2% of women, the experience is even considered traumatic. This is truly unfortunate. Especially because a negative labour experience often arises not so much from what happened, but from how it happened. You don’t always have control over what happens during childbirth—but you do have influence over how it happens.

​

During our doula support, we provide you with detailed information about everything that can happen during your birth. Together, we explore how you can experience different birth scenarios with agency and birthing power, and how to stay flexible if things don’t go as expected. This way, we work together for both a healthy baby and a positive birth experience.

​

As a postpartum doula, we offer physical, emotional, and practical support during the period after birth. We help you recover and find your balance again with complementary therapies such as acupressure, foot massage, herbs, and nourishing foods.

Doula support has proven benefits:

• shorter labor

• fewer cesarean sections

• reduced need for pain relief

• fewer assisted births
