Approach birth with confidence
Pregnancy brings up a lot of emotions, positive and negative. There’s often plenty of joy, wonder and gratitude, but also uncertainty, fear and loneliness. And those emotions can raise questions.
- How do I prepare physically and emotionally for the birth?
- Will I cope with the intensity of contractions and childbirth? Should I have pain relief?
- Will my medical care providers have the capacity to give me all the support I need?
- How do I stay in control of my own birth?
- My first birth experience was traumatic, how can I create a positive birth experience?
- Will my partner also be supported before and during labor?
As your doula, we will support you with an immense belief in your own strength and we’ll help you – and your partner – navigate your journey into parenthood.
Are we the right doula for you?
A positive experience with a doula starts with a personal connection. That is why before embarking on this journey together, we always offer 2 videocalls with Kim and Natalie.
Holistic
When a baby is born, so is a mother. It is an experience on a physical, mental and spiritual level that requires a holistic approach. The support is continuous regardless of how your birth unfolds, at home or in the hospital. Our approach is down to earth, unbiased, loving and personal.
Informative
During pregnancy you’ll gain detailed knowledge and learn techniques, such as birthing positions and breathing. We will also discuss various birth scenarios, how to navigate the medical system and your specific wishes and preferences. This means you’ll be able to go into birth with confidence.
Attention
for you and your partner
The support of your partner is vital. We will certainly not be taking over this role. On the contrary: We’ll help your partner gain the confidence to support you, only stepping in when needed.
Placenta encapsulation for birth recovery
Did you know that your placenta could be the key to a faster, easier recovery after birth?
Therapeutic
“Every consultation with Kim felt like (relationship) therapy, which reduced our fears, shame and doubts.”
– Livia & Phil –
Hypnobirthing approach
“Natalie took the time to get to know me and developed a lovely supportive relationship. I loved that Natalie is qualified in hypnobirthing and was able to incorporate these principles in her support.”

About us
For both of us, our births were formative experiences – intense, empowering and humbling – that ignited our doula journeys. After working for several years as independent doulas, we discovered that our skills and energies are complimentary. We realized that a duo doula practice doesn’t only create more stability but also offers a broader range of expertise for expectant parents.
It’s so nourishing to have two people focusing on you from pregnancy all the way to postpartum. Providing holistic birth preparation, holding space for your birth, and nurturing you postpartum with placenta remedies, breastfeeding support and massages.
