This is for you if: 

- you want to prepare body and mind ahead of your birth and motherhood journey

- you want to know what your options are and want to have a birth plan that outlines this

- you want to work on your mindset to achieve your desired birth

- you want your partner to better support you in the best way possible and that you work as a perfect team

- you want to prepare for the postpartum period and all the physical and emotional changes that comes with that

- you want to prepare your relationship for the parenthood journey ahead

- you identify as a survivor or as someone on the spectrum 

What I have to offer:

My training and my professional journey started in The Netherlands in 2018, and since then I have supported numerous couples, from all cultural, social and religious backgrounds, and those that identify as survivors, in the  through their pregnancy and birth journey. Throughout the years I continued to develop my skills and trained to become a trauma informed doula and later on I trained with the ACC (Academie voor Coaching & Counselling) as a coach and counsellor. 

When my family and I relocated to Spain, I encountered many differences within the medical system and a lack of support and knowledge for couples going through this journey.

I believe that knowledge is power and that there is a need to reframe and reclaim birth as something that we strive rather than endure. I believe that the way we are born, the way we care for ourselves, our relationships and our children is crucial for a better future for ourselves, our loved ones and our society. 

I know that change comes from within and that our past doesn't define us, and our stories can be rewritten to reflect our most authentic self. I have witnessed firsthand our empowering and life transformatic this time can be in the life of a couple and I want to be able to continue witnessing this time and time again, contributing to a positive change in our society. 

What we will cover:

- Birthing in The Netherlands or Spain, what are your rights, your options and what are your desires and how to achieve this

- writing a birth plan to reflect this

- Going deeper into birth planning and exploring what this means for you and your partner, what beliefs and stories do you need to work on to achieve your goals, how can you let go of what no longer serves you for the journey ahead

- Learning about the physiology of birth, natural pain relief, birth positions and how your partner can best support you physically and emotionally

- Preparing for postpartum, understanding the physical and emotional transformations that you go through and how it can impact your bonding experience. 

- Preparing your relationship for parenthood

- Understanding how to work with our needs and how to make accommodations and to advocate for them.

How will we do this:

- We will arrange an initial video call to see if we are a good fit and if my skills are suitable for your needs

- If we decide to work together we will then meet 6 other times in the following way

- 4 couple meetings in person (Malaga) or online

- 3 meetings online 1:1
