Birth Doula
Experience calm and continuous support through labor and birth. As your birth doula, I provide a grounded, reassuring presence so you never have to face birth alone. We will have the chance to connect and prepare in the weeks leading up to your delivery, and I will be by your side from the moment you need me in labor until after your baby is born – ensuring you feel safe, informed, and empowered throughout the entire birth experience.
What is included
Before the Birth
-
Prenatal preparation: We’ll have several private sessions to get ready for birth. Together we’ll practice relaxation and breathing techniques, try out comfort measures like massage and positioning, and discuss your birth wishes and any concerns. This way, you and your partner will feel more confident and prepared for labor. We will also create a Birthing Plan.
-
On-call availability: I am available to you 24/7 from 38 weeks of pregnancy until the birth. If you have questions, concerns, or when labor begins – day or night – I’ll be ready to support you.
During the Birth
-
Continuous labor support: During labor and birth, I stay with you the entire time (whether you birth at home, in a birth center, or hospital). I’ll help create a calm environment (dim lighting, soothing atmosphere), provide physical comfort (such as calming touch, counterpressure, help with movement or position changes), and offer gentle guidance and encouragement to both you and your partner. My goal is to help you move gently with contractions, relieve anxiety, and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
After the Birth
-
Immediate postpartum assistance: In the first hours after birth, I’ll remain with you to make sure you and baby are off to a good start – assisting with initial breastfeeding if needed, ensuring you’re comfortable, and celebrating your amazing achievement! We’ll also schedule a postpartum follow-up visit in the days after birth.
-
Post-birth home visit: Once you’re home and settling in (usually within the first week after birth), I will visit you and your family. In this visit, I can check on your healing and well-being, help with newborn care or feeding questions, listen to your birth story, and provide any emotional support or resources you may need as you adjust to life with your newborn.
Full Package: €1850
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..”
