Postpartum Doula
Holistic support for your body, mind, and heart after birth. A gentle space to rest, recover, and feel held during the sacred weeks after welcoming your baby. Personalised in-home care that honours your healing, your rhythm, and your transition into motherhood.
Postpartum Doula Service
Why It Matters
In many cultures, women were held and supported by their community for the first 40 days after giving birth, a sacred period of rest, nourishment, and gentle care before returning to daily life. Today, this time is often rushed. We move quickly, even though the body, mind, and nervous system are still deeply integrating the experience of birth.
I invite you to slow down. To rest. To listen. And to allow the profound transition into motherhood to settle: physically, emotionally, and energetically.
What’s included
As a postpartum doula, I offer ongoing support once the kraamzorg period has ended. Together, we create a personalised care plan that meets you where you are. This may include nourishing meals and nutritional guidance, gentle bodywork, emotional support, and practical care that helps you feel held and supported in your own home.
Depending on your needs and wishes, I visit you 2–3 times per week, for a number of sessions we decide on together. Each visit is an invitation to soften, to be cared for, and to reconnect with yourself during this tender time.
Safe Space To Recover
The intention is to create a calm, safe space where you can focus on recovery, healing, and bonding with your baby, without pressure, expectations, or rushing. A space where your body is supported, your mind can rest, and your heart feels nurtured.
These postpartum doula services can also be booked independently, even if you are not in my doula or kraamzorg care. Each session is a dedicated moment just for you, offering holistic support that honours the deep connection between body, mind, and heart in the early weeks after birth.
Get in touch by phone or message to discuss your needs and wishes, and learn about prices.
What others say
“Our birth was just as I wanted it to be, feeling informed of my choices and in control at all times. Ayelet helped us understand what to expect from delivering a baby in the Netherlands. She explained our medical options and how to achieve the birth I hoped for, bringing in strategies to relax and ease my anxiety. It would have been a very different experience without Ayelet.”
“Ayelet was my doula – my ‘silent angel’ during the birth of my son, and I am so glad we were together. My partner and she were my best team. She listened, gave great advice, and helped us understand what we wanted. I know my birth experience would have been very different without her.”
“Warm, wholesome and someone I would happily return to if I would be blessed with another pregnancy.
I highly recommend Ayelet, her knowledge combined with her experience, warmth and compassion are what every expectant mother needs on the journey through pregnancy and motherhood..”
