Doula in Amsterdam 

 

I don't give medical advice — those belong to your midwife and gynaecologist, who carry a responsibility I don't. What I do is different, and it fits alongside theirs. I offer continuous emotional, physical and informational support, I am the person that stands next to you and your partner, so that you both can feel held and able to navigate this journey from pregnancy to postpartum with confidence. I understand you, your wishes and advocate for them.

Being present at each important step, I make sure you make decisions from an informed space, and that your health care provider understands what matters to you. I am the person that carries the load, so that your partner can be present with you and that you are always at the centre of the process.​

"I honestly don't think my birth experience would have been as positive without Ombretta."

— Ben, first time mom, home water birth

As your birth doula, I stay.

I remain your constant — from the first contraction to the first hours after your baby is born.

"From the very first seconds, Ombretta somehow felt me.

She understood what I needed without me having to explain anything.

She knew when to speak, when to be silent, when to touch me,

when to encourage me and when simply to be there."
— Daria, first-time mother, hospital birth

My postpartum care brings Ayurvedic wisdom into your own home, your own bed, your own space — because your recovery matters as much as your birth.

Deep physical healing is the priority in the first weeks. But a whole different set of challenges begins when people stop bringing food, asking how you feel, and offering to run errands. That is where my support as a postpartum doula often starts.
