I created Ayu Doula in 2019, with the aim of offering nurturing and continuous support to women and families during pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks after baby arrives. My work is rooted in presence, trust, and deep listening —supporting you as you find your own rhythm, confidence, and inner strength on your journey into motherhood.

​

As a birth doula, I provide emotional and physical support throughout pregnancy, labor and the early weeks after childbirth, helping you feel grounded, reassured, and empowered. I work alongside your midwife and/or medical team while focusing on everything that is not medical: comfort, encouragement, advocacy, and connection. Whether this is your first baby or you are expanding your family, you deserve to feel truly seen and supported during pregnancy and birth.

​

As a postpartum doula in Amsterdam, I offer gentle care during the weeks after birth, when rest, nourishment, and emotional holding are essential. This may include practical support, newborn care, breastfeeding guidance, or simply creating space for you to rest, recover, and integrate your experience (email me for details and availability) or high level Ayurvedic Postpartum Care.

​

Every birth and postpartum journey is unique. My role is to honor your choices, supporting your partner, and helping you feel safe, confident, and deeply cared for. I offer informations that are Evidence Based enabling effective conversations with your care provider, helping you and your partner in creating the birth experience you envision, process past birth, losses and traumas and creating a safe container during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. 

​

My approach to the women I serve is inclusive, tender, and free of judgment. I tailor my services to your unique needs, offering perinatal visits, continuous birth support and Ayurvedic Postpartum Care for first time mothers and multiparous women, supporting low and high risk pregnancy, VBAC and C-sections. 

​​When we come together I hold a space where you can soften, expand, and remember. I will offer you my unwavering support, carving time to create a relationship that creates safety and trust. ​

Parallel to my Birth and Postpartum Doula Service, I teach Prenatal Yoga and I support women to find balance with Ayurveda and Womb Awakening and Healing (Inner Womb Method).
