Your doula for a gentle landing.
I am Belle,
the doula
Continuous support and the presence of a doula during labor has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress and promote a positive birth experience . Women who have a doula tend to breastfeed more often and for longer, experience less postpartum depression, and develop strong bonds with both their baby and partner.
The role of a doula is as old as humanity itself. Women have always supported each other during pregnancy, childbirth and raising children. Mothers, aunts, sisters and other women formed an indispensable community . Today, we live more individualistically than ever and family members often do not live nearby. In addition, there is much more involved in your pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period than in the days when women gave birth in mud huts.
That is why I, as a doula, will work with you and your (birth) partner to prepare you for the birth and postpartum period. In doing so, I will continuously support you both emotionally and physically and facilitate a pleasant collaboration with healthcare professionals. During your birth, I will give massages, encourage you, communicate your wishes to the birth team and be there for you . I will also help you find autonomy and strength and follow your intuition. In this way, everything happens in a way that your body can understand.
"Samen ontdekken we jullie mogelijkheden zodat je niet voor verrassingen komt te staan."

Heartfelt support
for trust in your
pregnancy and labour
As your doula, I would like to meet you as early as possible in your pregnancy. This way, we can build a nice bond . During a number of sessions at your home, I will get to know you well. I will tell you the ins and outs of giving birth, and share evidence-based information and practical tips that you can apply during the birth. I will use hypnobirthing and mindfulness techniques , and teach you exercises that promote the position of your baby. Your (birth) partner is just as important as you, so during my guidance I will ensure that your partner is your greatest source of support . I will help you gain confidence in the birth and each other.
Once labour has started I will come to you and stay, no matter what happens. I will go with you and help you through it. I will let you feel that you can do this, dare to and will do it . Together, you and your baby.
Together we create that soft landing , for you, your baby and your partner.
