Doula Vanessa 

As a birth coach/doula, I offer you (and your partner) personal and valuable support during your pregnancy and the birth of your child. In the preparation we work towards a birth as you have in mind.

The delivery and birth of your baby is one of the most intense and unique events you will ever experience together! It has a huge impact on both the baby and the parents. It's a magical but also a vulnerable time in your life and that's why it's important to feel supported and bundled on this special journey.

I am here for you (and your partner) to fully prepare and commitleiden. My In addition to confidence, presence provides a lot of relaxation and calmness so that you feel loved and connected during your birth journey. The safer a woman feels, the more she can relax and the greater the chance of a calm and pleasant birth experience.

"The presence of a doula often ensures a smoother and more successful delivery, with less chance of interventions"

What to expect?

You will be guided through the pregnancy process up to and including the first period after birth. Every pregnant woman has different wishes and needs and I (doula) fit in there Vanessa) my method.

We start with a no-obligation introductory meeting to see if it clicks and we identify what your wishes are. You will receive information about what a doula can do exactly. If you have a partner, it is important that he/she is present during the conversation.

From the moment of contact until birth, I am a doula Vanessa is available for questions, updates or to talk about your pregnancy.

We plan 37 appointments for your 3th week, so that you are well informed and prepared and we go into more detail where necessary and/or desired.

From 37 weeks into your pregnancy I will be available to support you, help and support you and your partner during your labor and birth. I'll stay until after you give birth, when you and your partner are a bit familiar and landed.

After giving birth I come by 2 more times and there is a final conversation.

If you have wishes and/or needs that differ from those described above, that is of course no problem, additional supplements or adjustments are always possible.

During your delivery?

We build a trusting and close relationship in the months leading up to the birth. This means I am a permanent and familiar face during your delivery. My support is mental, emotional, physical and practical and I facilitate, among other things, between you and modern/medical care.

I guide you and your partner through all stages of labor. Even if you want to go to the hospital or perhaps go because of a medical indication, your doula will go with you. And such a familiar face is nice, because in many cases you see several midwives during your birth or your midwife does not accompany you and the gynecologist, whom you do not know, takes over the medical responsibility.

As your doula, I am there, but I shine in the background, you and your partner have the leading role! I provide suggestions for movements and relaxation, with whom you can share what is really going on inside you, encourage you, support you and give you practical tips. I will encourage you to make your own choices as clear as possible, so that your birth is not at the expense of your own strength and inner wisdom. I create a space in which you feel safe and heard. Ik support you both emotionally and communicatively. During your birth you are at your most vulnerable and it is important that you feel safe and can fully surrender to the birthing process.  

But I'm also there for the partner. If there is a partner during childbirth, this one has an important role, I am not there to take that place, but to connect you.
