During pregnancy a lot of focus goes into preparing for the upcoming birth as well as material and practical preparations for the arrival of the baby.

 As important as the birth is, it is only the passageway into becoming a mother. Once the baby is here the real work begins and you as a new mother will go into a deep journey of transformation and discovery. 

After the initial postpartum weeks, the care for the new mother is finished. The baby’s development is followed by the ‘consultatie bureau’ or pediatrician as they grow. 

But who is caring for your well-being as a new mother?

What you will gain on this journey

When you become a new mother you are continuously present with your new baby. Even though getting a moment to yourself can be challenging, it can also be one of the most lonely years of your life. The world keeps moving but you are transforming and going at a different pace often causing a disconnect with the world around you and even within with your own partner. 

So many new mothers say ‘no one ever told me…’. That may be true, but even if someone had told you, you might not have been able to truly hear or understand until you experienced it yourself. 

By going on this journey with me you will have a safe space to experience this transformational year in a supported and more conscious way. 

Instead of it happening ‘to’ you, you will reflect and even celebrate this transformative life period. 

You may avoid postpartum depression, struggling alone in the dark and surviving this turbulent time. Instead you will develop a more intuitive grounded connection with yourself, your partner and your baby. 

The first year with your baby is a year of continuous change. This journey will offer you an anchor in this storm, a place to reconnect, reflect, find your own inner voice and become a more balanced mother and human being.

• Instead of feeling insecure as a new mother                                                                       => develop confidence and trust in yourself so you can be a better mother now and establish a strong base as you move forward on your parenting journey.

• Instead of growing apart with your partner and ending up on track to separating => experience a more conscious and deeper connection with each other.

• Instead of experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety                                      => experience more consciousness, calm, and connection with yourself. 

• Instead of losing yourself and feeling overwhelmed                                                       => experience a safe space while you rediscover who you are and what your own authentic voice is. 

• Instead of wishing these seemingly never ending processes will pass and feeling frustrated and stuck                                                                                                                      => gain perspective, learn how to be present in the moment and find joy in the small things so you can look back with a positive feeling at the start of your motherhood journey.

Your Mentor

​

As long as I can remember, I always wished to become a mother. When I did in 2006, it was such an amazing experience. Even though I was so happy, I also experienced deep feelings of loneliness and that my whole reality had been turned upside down. I used to think how ironic that for the first time in my life I was never alone as my baby was with me non-stop, however I had never felt so alone and disconnected from my friends and the world around me. The world kept moving, but my world had come to a standstill revolving around this beautiful new baby. 

I also experienced a challenging time of disconnect in my relationship and this was the only time in now 20+ years together that me and my partner came close to separating. Since then I have witnessed in my work as a doula and a kraamzorg (maternity care provider) how each and every mother goes through some version of this process. Giving birth is not only the birth of your baby but the birth of yourself as a new mother and father. 

It is with my own embodied experiences as well as with my years of following new families as they navigate this transition, that I offer you a safe space to lean into as you go through this monumentally transformational year. 

I look forward to connecting and offering you this support.
