Description
Prenatal and Birth Trauma From the Baby Perspective
Welcome!
I combine western and eastern approaches, for health and healing.
My specialty is pre and perinatal trauma, connection with nature and transformation.
You can expect to develop deeper connection with yourself, to understand how your early story is conditioning your current life (relationships, health, finances, etc), to integrate this story in a safe way and become more present in your body.
As a parent, you can nurture deeper bonding with your baby or child, acquire a clearer understanding about your child's experiences of being conceived, experiences in-the-womb or being born. And learn how to support your child/baby in his or her healing process. You will receive support to become more grounded and present towards yourself and consequently to your child.

- +One unique aspect about this approach is
One unique aspect about this approach is the recognition of the baby story.
We all arrive in this world with a story. A personal myth that unfolded before words were formed, and that remains with us throughout our life, as a memory stored in the body.
When, in the course of the life-forming experiences (such as being born, in the womb or conceived) we go through stressful circumstances, we may be left with unprocessed issues which, if not integrated, solidify as imprints in our body systems (nervous system, respiratory system, digestive, circulatory, etc).
✓ Sessions last 1h30 minutes and take place at Amsterdam.
~ Working with babies
Babies are able to express their "baby story" by way of body movement, memory crying and emotional tones.
Listening, understanding and supporting this communication, helps the baby to safely navigate the overcharged pieces of his/her experience, regulate the nervous system, become more present and generally, embody the sense of triumph over helplessness. Same time the relationship between baby and the parents is strengthened by way of deeper understanding.
~ How to know if you or your baby needs extra help?
Fortunately, once we are born and in order to restore equilibrium, we are able to communicate our experiences by a specific body language, emotional expressions and in case of babies, through memory cry.
~ Example of behaviours that may translate the unheard “baby story” in babies:
- avoidance of eye contact
- too little tone or too much tension in the muscles
- startle response to sound or movement
- jerky arms, legs and head
- constant, weak or absent crying
- inconsolable crying
- arching
- hitting the umbilicus area or touching certain parts of the head repeatedly
- nursing/feeding difficulties
More generally, physical symptoms such as colic, asthma, digestive problems, eczema, etc., psychological themes and patterns of relationship with people, with food, etc. can be related with unprocessed early experiences.
If the “baby story” is met with consciousness, empathy and the right resources, the baby/child can gradually release blocked tension and relax into a greater sense of safety. Many physical symptoms may resolve or lessen and presence is strengthened.
Integrative Baby Therapy draws from a number of sources including Pre and Perinatal Psychology, Body Psychotherapy and Craniosacral Therapy. It is also informed by recent research in areas such as self-regulation, neurobiology, epigenetics, biodynamic embryology, field theory, attachment theory, traumatology, consciousness research and cross-cultural studies.

My profile
Welcome!
I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and a Baby Therapist specialised in pre and perinatal trauma.
I offer sessions for adults or babies and children with their parents.
I am deeply passionate about the primal period of our lives. Because it’s in the great transition of birth, whilst in-the-womb and being conceived that many limitative imprints are formed.
This imprints set the template for an array of psychological behaviours, physical symptoms and energetic patterns, which remain in our bodies till we place them in the right context and meet them with consciousness, empathy and skill.
I hold space for the unspoken world before and during birth to emerge and become sensible to you or to you and your child.
I guide and educate with compassion, facilitating the integration of overwhelming pieces of experience related to early experiences.
I bring a deep seeing into the sessions, rooted in my heart, body perception and trauma/energy knowledge.
