Holistic Birth & Postpartum Sessions
Private sessions | Prepare for your journey into
motherhood on all levels
Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are a sacred and transformative time - inviting you to prepare consciously for the changes ahead.
These one-on-one preparation sessions for you and your partner support you in feeling truly ready for birth and the postpartum period, not only practically, but also emotionally, mentally and physically. You are gently guided to prepare not just for giving birth, but for the transition into motherhood, parenthood and a new phase of life.
Rooted in an holistic approach that integrates body, mind, emotions and energy, the sessions offer calm, supportive guidance. You’ll receive practical tools you can actually use before, during and after birth, while moving at your own pace, with space for your story.
A central focus is (re)connecting with yourself and your baby, supporting safe attachment through connective practices.

Did you know
Babies who have experienced prenatal connection “…show enhanced visual, auditory, linguistic, and motor development. In general, they tend to sleep better and are more alert, confident, and content than babies who did not receive this level of communication in the womb. Births in families where prenatal communication takes place often involve fewer medical interventions, and the babies tend to be larger and stronger.

Hi, ik ben
Anne Sophie
During my ongoing journey of living in deep connection with myself, I discovered a profound love for what is small and vulnerable - within myself and in the world around me. From this place of love, I began working as a doula, guided by the deep conviction that everything small and vulnerable flourishes best when it is met with unconditional presence and love.
This is true for babies, and it is equally true for women becoming mothers. In many ways, motherhood is a birth in itself. Through my many years of experience as a birth and postpartum doula and birth educator, I have gained unique insights into this transition - not only on a practical level, but also on a deeply emotional and relational one. Accompanying women through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period has allowed me to witness, again and again, the themes that arise as a woman steps into motherhood: identity, safety, surrender, strength, and the longing to be seen and supported.
My work as birth psychology educator is woven into my work alongside my work as transformational coach for mothers. Combined with the lived wisdom of my own motherhood, this has shown me time and again that both babies and mothers need to feel truly received, heard, and seen in order to thrive.
Cultivating connection - with yourself, your baby, and other mothers - is at the heart of fulfilled motherhood. That is what I wish for every mother.


What others say
"It was a very very valuable time that we spent with you. I think both Ben and I are still "digesting" everything and will probably keep talking about what we've learned for a while:) Ben is also sending me reminders to keep doing my stretches and breathing exercises:) Thank you so much for bringing your lovely energy, openness and all your knowledge and experiences into our home last week!"

"Anne Sophie hielp me de rust en het vertrouwen te vinden die ik nodig had, en liet me zien dat ik dit zélf bereikt had. Tijdens moeilijke momenten was ze er voor me net als tijdens de mooie. Zo fijn om dit alles te kunnen delen met zo'n mooi mens! Ook haar Mother Blessing ceremonie kan ik aanraden: we hadden het helemaal aangepast zodat het op mijn lijf geschreven was. Wat heb ik daar veel liefde en support uit gehaald! De begeleiding van Anne Sophie heeft er mede voor gezorgd dat mijn geboorte- en kraamervaring zo mooi en liefdevol was als ik had gehoopt. Dit neem ik mijn hele leven mee!"
Annemiek
"Anne Sophie was very empathetic towards my needs (I am a scientist and, as much as possible, I wanted evidence-based practices. For example, during the sessions we discussed the hormone cycles in the brain during labor and it was fantastic!). She supported my choices and made sure I was well informed about them. All in all, my only regret is not having had her by my side on my first delivery :)"
