The female body is, well, pretty brilliant actually. Yes, including yours! Your body making, birthing, feeding, loving a new human being – having a baby might be the biggest ‘normal’ thing in every woman’s life. As a doula, it is my honour to offer you my non-medical services Noord-Holland.
As your doula, i will offer you my unconditional support before, during and after birth. I will help you to get all the information you need to make the choices that suit you, so you can give birth with confidence and strength. Research shows that having a doula contributes to more self-confidence, less complications and interventions, less need for medicinal pain relief during birth and less ‘baby blues’ in the early weeks.
