Introduction
A gentle and regenerative postpartum is worth so much, to ease the transition into your new role.
As a postpartum doula, I offer my help to prepare and guide new parents and their birthing companions the weeks after birth. Each parent deserves support, regardless of the way in which the new baby arrives.
My doula services are holistic – integrating all layers of existence - and inclusive. This means, the support will meet needs on different levels (practical, physical, emotional). A newborn parent might need help in the form of natural remedies for her post birth body, or tips on how to (breast)feed the baby. Sometimes emotional support is wished for, or freshly made food in another moment (or all day long). Your preferences and needs are the starting point of my services and I treat them with confidentiality and respect.
Postpartum doula services will always depend on your wishes and situation, to create a regenerative fourth trimester in which you can focus on you and your baby. In a package per hour or day, we will adapt to your needs at that moment.
This includes
– providing you with an atmosphere of trust, rest and support
– natural remedies for common ailments
– home cooked, highly nutritious food
– rituals and belly binding
– guided meditations and breathing exercises
– practical and holistic support at your home to
– an open attitude and sharing of experiences
• Don't hesitate to contact me if you think you can benefit from my services, no matter where you live. I am sure we will find a way for you to get the support you are wishing for.

Book a Mama Support Session for yourself, or gift it to a mother in need.
During this session dedicated to supporting new moms, I will take the time to wrap the mother in a warm blanket of love and care. After a short intake by phone, I will estimate which of the following methods can be used during a session:
- massage
- guided meditation
- warming belly compress
- belly bind
- aromatherapy / herbal support
- practical planning support to create changes that make daily life more balanced
All of the physical support is offered together with creating a safe emotional sphere to allow the mother to really sink into her new role while feeling held.

Belly binding ritual - 1h 30m
- +Then, the belly binding is explained and knotted around her hip and waist area. Belly binding is a practice to provide support after birth. It supports your back, brings the hips back together, improves the posture and helps to restore the abdominal region. We will use a long piece of fabric to wrap or knot around the whole hip and waist region. During the session, the mother will be explained how to bind her own belly as well, so she can wear her bind for 40 days postpartum. Wearing the bind, can be especially helpful for women who feel empty (physically or emotionally) after giving birth. This makes it a valued symbolic practice to ease the transition from pregnancy into motherhood.
The ritual can be planned from 24 hours after birth, but sometimes feels needed weeks or months later. In case of a C-section the ritual is only advised after several weeks, depending on the healing of the incision. If this is the case for you, get in touch so we will find the right moment for you to benefit of this ritual. Feel free to choose the moment that feels right for you.
The session includes a self made belly bind that the mother can keep. This way, she can use the belly bind during her whole postpartum period.

Ayurvedic Postpartum package for the Family - 1h
- +.
As in Ayurveda as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine is recommended, a woman postpartum mostly needs warmth. I will use traditional recipes adjusted to local and organic ingredients. Warming, nourishing food, snacks and herbal teas are chosen for delicious fourth trimester meals. According to your wishes I can include organic dairy, ghee and honey, or adjust in other ways to fit specific diet preferences or allergies.
This package consists of:
-warm breakfast with fruit stew
-warm lunch, easily digestible and rich in iron, healthy fats and rooting ingredients
-selected herbal teas that are calming and helpful for breastfeeding
-warm dinner, easily digestible and rich in iron, healthy fats and rooting ingredients
-a soothing cup of raw cacao for the parents
-breastfeeding supportive snacks
All portions are for two adults.
This is a wonderful gift idea to support a family (with children) after birth, to spoil them with a generous amount of food from the heart. Children´s portions for children can be added for 15,- to 17,50 per child per day (depending on the age of the child because it makes a big difference ;) ).
Pick up and delivery in Haarlem for free. Outside Haarlem I charge a fee for delivery, depending on the distance from Haarlem.
There is a discount for multiple day packages of 15% for each subsequent day.
