Neuro-affirming and trauma-informed perinatal support for the mothers whose brains work differently and whose births deserve to be truly understood.
Whether you are navigating pregnancy, recovering from a difficult birth experience, or finding your footing in the fog of early parenthood, there is a space here for you. All support is available online worldwide and in person in Málaga, Spain.
Ways to Work With Me
🌿 Birth Debriefing
A 90-minute space to process your birth experience, understand what happened and why, and begin to find some peace with your story. Held at a pace that works for your nervous system, with room to ask the questions you have been carrying and to have your experience genuinely witnessed.
For some mothers, a birth debrief is most effective after first working through acute trauma responses. If that feels relevant to you, we can discuss whether the 3 Steps Rewind method might be a useful step before we meet for the debrief itself.
🌿 Birth & Perinatal Trauma Recovery
Specialist trauma-informed support for birth trauma, traumatic pregnancy, NICU experience, and the cumulative weight of feeling unseen by a system that was not built for your neurotype. This is longer-term, clinically grounded work using an integrative approach that honours your nervous system throughout.
Spaces for this work are limited. If this sounds like what you need, please get in touch to discuss availability.
🌿 Perinatal Counselling
Ongoing therapeutic support for anxiety, grief, emotional dysregulation, and the profound identity shift of matrescence, seen through a genuinely neurodiverse lens. If you have spent your pregnancy or postpartum period feeling like the standard advice was written for someone else's brain, this is where that changes.
🌿 Doula Services:
Continuous, hands-on support through pregnancy, birth, and the immediate postpartum period, rooted in neuro-affirming and trauma-informed care. I trained as a doula in Amsterdam in 2018 and supported women through pregnancy and birth for several years. That experience shapes everything I do now as a counsellor and birth debrief practitioner.
I currently take a very small number of doula clients each year — no more than two. If you are interested in working together in this way, please reach out directly to discuss whether I have availability.
My practice is built on specialist clinical training and lived experience. I hold a Bachelor's in Counselling (Academie voor Coaching en Counselling, Netherlands, 2024), a Doula Certification (BIA Doula Training, Amsterdam, 2018), and specialist certification as a 3 Steps Rewind Practitioner for birth trauma resolution (2022). I am additionally trained in Anxiety in the Perinatal Period (TBR College of Perinatal Emotional Health, 2021), Supporting Survivors in the Perinatal Period (Resilient Birth, 2021), and Supporting Neurodiverse Birth (Neurodivergent Birth UK, 2024).
I practise in accordance with my Ethical Commitment & Professional Standards, which cover confidentiality, consent, safeguarding, and ongoing supervision.
