about

As a little girl I slept with the encyclopedia under my pillow and gave imaginary speeches long after bedtime about babies and pregnant bellies. I never forgot this specific interest, but chose a different path anyway. I studied Communication and Multimedia Design, and got my diploma.

 

Still, a tiny spark remained. Babies were being born around me, and through social media I slowly immersed myself in the birth world. Without having children myself, I developed an enormous passion for birth culture and maternity care. I followed my heart and trained as a doula in 2022.

​

I believe that when a woman is fully empowered during her pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period, she develops an incredibly strong bond with her baby. If you ask me, this contributes to a healthy and happy society in the long run.

 

With my support as a doula, I provide women and their (birth) partners with tools so that they can go through this process with confidence. In this way, together we facilitate a soft landing for mother, baby and partner.

Dear Belle, We are still cocooning but wanted to drop you a message. Julia is so grateful for how you helped during with the birth of our son. And I am just happy with the role I was able to take on during the delivery. Despite the bears on the road, the three of us were able to make a plan and had a great delivery that we can only look back on positively. Hopefully you recovered too, haha! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Doula ben je samen

Als doula ben ik altijd op zoek naar verbinding en verdieping, zowel met de gezinnen die ik begeleid als met mijn collega's. Ik geloof sterk in de kracht van samenwerking, en dat we als doula’s van elkaar kunnen leren en elkaar kunnen versterken. Daarom werk ik nauw samen met andere ervaren en gepassioneerde doulas, om zo de beste zorg te bieden.

​

​Door deze samenwerkingen blijf ik mezelf ontwikkelen, zodat ik altijd een betrouwbare, betrokken en enthousiaste doula ben, die klaarstaat om gezinnen te ondersteunen tijdens één van de belangrijkste momenten in hun leven.
