I am a member of Kraamzorg 1 op 1, which provides a directory of self-employed maternity nurses in your area. They have agreements with almost all Dutch health care insurances in the Netherlands and will be doing the invoicing.

A child's birth is also about making and preserving precious memories. Lotte Noordzij is an independent Stampin’Up! demonstrator and can help you preserve your most beautiful memories by helping to set up a scrapbook. She can also create (in cooperation with you) exclusive birth annoucements or little goodie bags for the people who come to visit the newborn. Decorating a babyshower is also one of the posibilities. Lotte makes my mini-albums, which I present to my doula clients on the last day of my care.

Year in Life is a photography service for maternity, newborn, babies and families. Simona Graszl is an international photographer, serving expats in the Haarlem, Leiden, Noordwijk and Den Haag area. She specializes in capturing natural and real-life moments.

Hi, I’m Miriam and the founder of Feel Good Junkies. As a Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Pre and Post Natal Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Core & Diastasis Consultant, I help empower expecting and postnatal mothers with safe, fun and sweaty workouts to keep them fit during pregnancy, train for birth, and heal / re-strengthen postpartum. Preventing and healing abdominal separation is at the forefront of our goals as we believe a functional inner core unit will be your best friend during your biggest marathon yet-birth. Languages: native German speaker, fluent English.

In 2020, I am one of two new childbirth preparation trainers in The Hague. Courses include the five evening series on Wednesdays, or the one day course on Sundays. I predominantly teach the 5 evening courses. Please register on time for one of these popular courses to avoid disappointment.

Access has been serving the international community since 1985.

Anouk is my backup doula. She is the owner of Fijne Geboorte (Rijswijk), which is a pregnancy care center where pregnant women can relax and prepare for their birth. What makes Fijne Geboorte so unique is that in addition to having guided many births, I am also a Body Ready Method Pro and Spinning Babies Parent Educator. Both are a very efficient approaches you can use to make more space in the pelvis and body, and to  achieve more comfort in pregnancy and labor, while promoting natural childbirth. 

Language: English, Dutch and French.
