I attend at least 1 of your Prenatal appointments with your Midwife or OBGYN at the hospital
If you are FIRST TIME parents, i have gathered information for you here
Usually i would give these sessions to you at home but with the current Pandemic, these can be given virtually in the comfort of your own house. My sessions are not only interactive, they are educative, fun and MANSPLAINED (Man-Explained) :-)
You could also look into this section here
POSITIVE C-SECTION BIRTH
I wrote a blog about this very topic. You can read it directly here
If you are a couple with a medical pregnancy and looking for information to plan your induction or C-section, I have you covered here with a small reflection list of what you can expect and how you can plan for a positive ‘belly-birth’ :-)

You want to know you can afford to pay for support in advance…
I totally understand!
I offer payment plans and sliding scale packages too. Please don’t allow the inability to afford a Doula be the reason you don't hire one. There are options, always make contact we can arrange something.'part' of my Doula Packages and Birth Preparation Sessions may be reimbursed through your insurance. Please check directly with your insurer that they would cover these costs and how much. The reimbursement amount depends on your chosen package.
How come my packages might be covered?
As a certified Doula, the conditions for Doula Support reimbursement state that; the Doula is to be certified and recognized through the Dutch Professional Association for Doulas - NBvD.* Furthermore; the doula is to be registered with the Chamber of Commerce - KVK* and be vetted through the 'care providers system' which issues her/him a providers code AGB code
Therefore; when you book me your invoice will have my AGB code and my kvk number to send to your insurer for your 'part' reimbursement! I am not only certified, I made sure to cover all the requirements listed above :-)
