For unique situations, such as relocation to Antwerp during pregnancy, where personalised planning and extra guidance are needed.

Optional. Complement your sessions with gentle pregnancy massage to rest, (re-)connect with your body, and let your mind relax.

How it works?

We begin with an introductory consultation. You share your situation, and I explain how I work. This normally takes about 20 minutes. During the remaining time, we focus on the questions currently on your mind.

If you are considering one of the support journeys, I recommend starting with a one-off consultation. If after this consultation you are convinced that this is the support you need, this first session becomes part of your journey.

For the support journeys, in the first introductory meeting we create a little plan for the sessions. We can have the sessions on a weekly basis so you have a clear plan in a month or two. Or we you can choose the spread out the sessions across your pregnancy timeline so you can focus only on the tasks and decisions that are important right now.

You choose what feels right.

Scenarios

Scenario 1 - Just found out that you are expecting

You feel unsure about the system and what steps to take first.

A beautiful moment to reach out and schedule our first consultation. With my guidance, you will gain clarity about what truly needs your attention now and what can wait until later.

There is no need to do everything at once.

Scenario 2 - Second trimester, considering a midwife

 A one-off consultation may be perfect for this. You can book it online.

When we meet, I will explain the role of a midwife in the Belgian maternity care system, help you understand what support you can receive a midwife offers, which questions to consider when choosing one and finally, how to find and contact a suitable midwife.

Scenario 3 - Moving to Antwerp during pregnancy

We'll prepare for your move, including required documentation and formalities to take care of. If needed, I can refer you to trusted local professionals for specialised support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my partner join sessions?

Yes, sessions are open to your partner whenever you wish.

Is it possible to have a session at my home?

Yes, that’s possible too, but for the city of Antwerp there will be an extra fee of 15 for each session.

If you are interested to have a session at your home, send me an email and we’ll see what’s possible.

When is the best time to schedule the first session?

Earlier in your pregnancy, even before your first appointment with a gynaecologist, is the best moment. It is then easier to tailor your journey to your wishes and needs.

You are welcome to reach out any time during your pregnancy. It’s never too late to gain some additional clarity and a bit of structure in the sometimes overwhelming to-do’s that come with pregnancy.
